Confession

I really need to come clean and confess. I was reading through some of my past blogs and I feel like I've been misleading. When I write this blog, I tend to give the impression that life with triplets is a breeze and every day is a joy. Well, the truth is, life in our house is barely manageable these days. Jeff and I swore for better or worse, but we never imagined that the "worse" could be this bad. He and I are constantly at odds, and to be perfectly honest, I'm exhausted. I used to have a ton of patience, and now I fly off the handle over the smallest things. As a matter of fact, last night I just snapped. Jeff was laying on the couch flipping channels while I was chasing the kids around. He never once got up to help and I just flipped out. I never knew I had that kind of rage in me...he never even saw it coming...



















JUST KIDDING!!!! Had ya' goin', huh?!

Jeff has had a grass allergy for years and I have begged him to hire someone to take care of the yard. Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn...this is the result of mowing the yard on Tuesday - even with a mask, long sleeves, gloves, etc. That's a SERIOUS allergy. I don't think I need to worry about him mowing anymore. This photo actually doesn't even come close to showing how bad it really is. His eyes were so swollen this morning he couldn't open them at all. His skin is seeping and he itches like crazy. I can't even imagine how absolutely miserable he feels. Poor guy!

The kids are doing great, and honestly, life in our house is so wonderful! Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of work, but we're having the time of our lives! And don't worry, Jeff and I are doing great, too!

A few photos to enjoy!

I can't believe he let you post that picture! I love it! Tell him I'm glad you didn't ask Austin for a play date today... he might have been traumatized!

Jeeeeez Jeff!! Enough with the yard work already!

Okay, you had me going for a minute, then I cracked up! Tell Jeff at the bottom of my marriage contract it says "no yard work" - 21 years and going strong! You all really need to get a teenager! Love the pics of the kids - they grow bigger every day! See you soon!

OMG Jeff...give it up and hire a kid to do that already! He'll earn some cash and your children won't have to wonder who the monster is sitting in daddy's chair!!! That looks so painful. I hope you're feeling better. And Jen, seriously, you should be a writer...you always have me smiling and laughing!!!!

Ouch, that looks so painful, Jeff! We hope you get to feeling better soon! The pictures of the kids are so cute. They are growing up so fast!

Take care and hope to see you all soon! We Love You All! Hugs and Kisses!
