I think that I have figured it out! What? Whats that? I've figured out the secret to having tantrum free kids? HA! I wish. No, i've been getting tension headaches on a daily bases for the past week or 2, and I think i've figured out why. Cause i'm pregnant and i'm literally chasing 3 kids around from the moment they get up to the moment that they go to bed! That was an easy one! Huh?! lol. j/k. But I think the 2 main triggers are fatigue, and i'm letting my blood sugar get too low. I finally sit down to eat breakfast about 2 hours after I get up. I'm lucky if I can get a good lunch in, and dinner doesn't happen for me until 9pm. And snacks in between aren't happening too much. I gotta start eating more small meals during the day. And WATER!!! Wow, I really have to start drinking more water and eating more often. Not only to try to minimize the headaches, but because I also have a little tiny baby to take care of inside of me as well!
Eran is out fishing with a bunch of guys tonight, and when he asked me if he could I go, I broke down crying. Mostly because I just got done putting all 3 kids to bed by myself (with a headache). That was a bad time to ask. Partly from the hormones. But also because of jealousy! I've decided that daddies have it so much easier than mommies. In the sense that they are kid free for most of the day! What I would give to have a day off to just go and be me for a day. (not that he is at work relaxing. He works his bumm off for us and I am SO grateful for that. but you get my point!) But what it in the world would I go and do, especially on a budget? And how would I find the time? The only time I have to get out and do something on my own is when I go grocery shopping at 8pm. Woo hoo! Isn't that so fun? But honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if ever given that opportunity. I'm always going from sun up to sun down that I don't think I remember how to relax anymore. Thats pretty sad, huh?
So....thats it. This post is more of a "I need to vent" post. They aren't the funnest to read, and I apologize.

girl, you've got to take care of yourself. Lock your girls up. Eat breakfast. Do what you have to do to take care of #1. Motherhood is not easy, and the girls will forget about it. If you don't take care of yourself, who will? And who will take care of your kids? Seriously, drink water. And milk. Stay in school. Don't do drugs.
I'm preaching to the choir here, but sometimes friendly encouragement is a good reminder!
Hey Aubre! I know the feeling about not getting to go out and have me time. Of course, I don't really like to go out by myself. So I usually grab one of my sisters or sometimes Valerie (It will be kind of hard when she moves). I have started running (almost) every morning with Valerie and my sister. It is so nice to get out and do something even for 30 minutes. Find a friend to go out or walking with and abandon your children and husband for a while. And you are quite a woman to have 4 kids in 4 years. I know I couldn't do it. Although I guess if Heavenly Father decided I should, then I guess I could do it. Plus I know about hormones I have that problem constantly. I miss you. I hope you can come visit sometime.
