Happy Mother's Day

I'm feeling very stressed and frustrated. Can't deny it. I'm also feeling very blessed. We have a great fortune in our children and I'm not referring to how much they cost. We have three intelligent, funny, happy and, most important, healthy children in our home. Yes, there is a lot of testing. Yes, there is a lot of noise. Not to mention snacks, laughs, tears, baths and diapers. And lets not mention the laundry. We're so lucky :) I haven't been very good about documenting here but I honestly haven't really had the time to sit and think about what I would write. I lead a very boring but eventful life here with the rugrats :) We do all the usual things and we are starting to venture out on walks around our (very hilly) neighborhood. Very hard work, pushing an extra hundred pounds along with the forty or so I need to lose but worth it! Soooo, what to write here. In this blank space. Everything I could write would sound ungrateful or whiny. Husband is on rotation at a different local hospital and since my car died (moment of silence) we just have the minivan. Which leaves me stranded at the house with kiddos while he's at work. Sadly, there isn't much close by way of intellectual stimulation. I have a good friend across the street but there aren't any museums or libraries or stores except for a hardware store within walking distance. Kind of depressing on occasion, but we are gathering a nice assortment of stuff in the backyard and we are putting up a fence so we can keep the kids from wandering aimlessly around town. But things are good. Very good.
