In a nut shell

I like bullets...everything is better in point form

• This is aweome
• It got my point across faster
• I don't have a third reason, but it looks better and spiffier  if I have three points. 

Anyway, I digress. I was going to go on about all the wonderous things that have happened since the last time I blogged. My kids still drive me pretty much half way up the wall, however things have vastly improved in every area. James remembers more often to use the toilet, uses his manners and whines a hell of a lot less. On the downside Eldon seems to have picked up on the whining thing a lot more than he ever did. We'll work on that. Gerileigh seems to be having much better days at school and behaving much better overall. Dylan is still an awesome baby.
Another point, completely unrelated, is that I have rediscovered a love for the Shrek saga. I never really realized just how much adult humor was in those movies and each time I watch it, I find something new. Just today I saw them with a pepper mill and grinding it into Shreks eyes. Good stuff.
Speaking of short sweet and to the point I have to start the nightly routine of getting my kids to sleep.

Even Hitler looks cute when he's sleeping

***WARNING CONTROVERSIAL DEAL WITH IT***

Let's start this out with me warning you about the fact that I am running on about four hours of sleep, angry at my neighbors who seem to have no respect and just plain tired beyond all reason.
I was browsing the web tonight, as I usually do just before bed and I found a young girls vlog. This girl was about 14 or 15, somewhere in there. She seemed to have it all, she wrote her own music, had some albums and a family who really seemed to be pushing her for everything. What does this girl do? She had a baby! This girl was still a child herself, not trully capable of making decisions for herself. Not even done growing! 
Let's set the record here. I was a mom at 17 and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. STOP! Most people would say after that "and I never looked back." I'm gonna level with you. I did look back. I always looked back. I thought many times and did the what if game. My biggest "what if" was, what if I had never looked at that ultrasound picture and went through with an adoption as originally planned. Would Gerileigh have everything she wanted and needed? Would her future schooling be secured? Would she have the two loving parents she deserved? Truth is, I will never know. I love her to pieces and she is my one and only girl. I wouldn't change a thing if I could.
That said, if I knew then what I know now, I would probably have waited a lot longer to have my children. Moreso to secure their futures and ensure they had all that they needed and wanted. I love them and wouldn't give them up now that I have them.
Even in all of this. I don't believe teenagers should have kids now. WAIT! For the love of God, just WAIT! There is a right time.
P.S. Nobody buys your "the condom broke" story

Being Lazy Again...sort of

I've gotten a little lax on the blogging, yet again. I'd say I've been lazy, but not so much. I've had the joys and entertainment that be the real world. Yes, folks, I have discovered a world that lay beyond the reaches of the internet. It's bright and it's scary and filled with children.
I've definitely kept myself quite busy these days, what with having four children to run  after. Two of which are sleeping at the moment and two of which are entertaining each other quietly. Carpe Bloggem I say. My day seems to consist of laundry, dishes, disney movies, dry erase markers, toy under foot...ouch ouch ouch, make lunch, vacuum the mess my boys made, blah blah blah. The list goes on and on. No rest for the wicked. I was only ever really wicked about four times. The resulting consequence will last 18 years a piece!
In all of this stress that these kids cause. Ger with her bad behaviour at school, James with his chronic poop issues, Eldon with his devious cuteness and Dylan with his teething. I'm so in love with them! They do something every day that just astounds me and blows my mind.
Ger did my dishes without me asking, James made me laugh with his antics and pooped on the toilet, Eldon was just cute today really and Dylan with his bright eyes and smile. I'm just so happy with my kids and at the end of the cooking, cleaning and motoring around the house, I realize I get the best pay check from all of this and it's so worth it!
