So I've mentioned numerous times that sometimes I just don't feel like an adult...a parent, etc...because I still feel like the same person that I was in highschool...but when I see things like this:
I'm like WHOA! How'd that happen? How cool is that...look at all those little names listed...and they're ALL MINE. Like I made them and they're super cute and perfect, and wouldn't you know, there's three of them now...like three little people carrying around half of my DNA everywhere they go. And the idea of it is just crazy and exciting at the same time. Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of what a miracle it is to have these three tiny people...especially when they're acting all insane during the day and I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind on a daily basis (for example, I went to Rainbow yesterday and realized once I got home that they only entered in 4 of my double coupons instead of 5...well hello, I was going back to get my 2 bucks...as I walk in, the cashier who rung me up noticed me and was like "Oh, your corn and green beans are on the counter over there"...dude, I left some of my groceries too? I wasn't even coming back for those! Not only that but I'm pretty sure it would have taken me a week to realize it since it took me about a week to start questioning where my tomatoes were that I had bought from Walmart the week before...I was asking Chris if he had eaten all three of them...he said no...so then I'm questioning in my head if Ayris put them back in the store before we left but I was pretty sure I had bought them...yeah, I found the moldy remnants yesterday in the laundry room in a bag that had all of Asher's birthday supplies...SERIOUSLY! I cannot keep it together lately! I might actually have to put Ayris in charge once the 4th comes along because I'm not sure that I'm going to be altogether with it when there are that many people to take care of and keep track of! LUCKILY, my issues haven't extended much past the loss of food...I guess I won't start to REALLY worry unless I leave a child behind at Rainbow and even fail to realize it until I go back to retrieve some coupon owed money!) ANYWAY, what was I saying...oh yeah, so it's things like this little thing I got in the mail or pulling out my insurance card where all the kids names are listed that I stop in that one second and just marvel at the three little blessings I have in my life. It's pretty amazing. As for that picture above...it's talking about being removed from coverage by July 31st if we don't turn in our marriage certificate, and all three kids birth certificates. First off, we just received this stupid thing in the mail a couple of days ago...so if you do the math...that would have been August already...SECOND off, where in the world is our marriage certificate??? Heck if I know...guess I should be finding that before deciding to have baby number 4 though...the good lord knows I wasn't too thrilled about the hefty price tag of Adler WITH insurance...I'd hate to see our bill if I wasn't covered to begin with...I'm thinking we'd be freebirthing if that were the case! (Just so you know, I'd pay anything for my kid but for whatever reason, the cost of having a kid is going up ALOT between each child...pretty sure Ayris cost us a whopping $600...Asher came in around $1200 and Adler is now around $2500...good grief...just writing that out made me realize they keep doubling! I've never noticed that before...I think I need to stick with my plan of having them back to back...if I wait much longer, it's gonna be quadrupled or more!
K, back on track, here was the last picture I was going to throw up (I still have a TON of editing and a bunch of random pictures to post...I'll get to it!)...
How cool is that to see us all lined up on a bench!? This was at a friend's wedding so I figured while we all looked good (and by we, I mean me...because since quitting my job, I don't put a lot of effort into getting ready anymore =) I'd get a picture taken...one or two more kids and we won't fit on that bench!
P.S. Where'd you go Huron, South Dakota? I miss you. Secondly, whose in Corning, New York? Or Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?? Or Sioux City, South Dakota?? This ticker is driving me nuts because I see these places and I'm SO curious to who is there! So message me people and let me know because the curiousity is literally driving me crazy! I may have to take that ticker off! You can let me know at michellecollins410@yahoo.com
Super cute picture, you have a beautiful family!!!
