Settling In and My Funny Dream


               I took this on my webcam and edited it in iphoto. 

Hey! I recently read in an article that it takes some mom's longer than others to "settle in" to motherhood with each baby. Usually about 6 weeks. Next week, the twins will be 6 weeks. Some days I feel like I have "settled in" and everything is easy, then WHAM... I feel like I am a first time mom and I have no idea what I am doing. After 3 babies, you would think I would have this down, right? 


We are doing great though and I have found that the key to staying sane right now is trying to maintain an attitude of thankfulness. I have tons to be thankful for, so it should be easy. :)

Last night, I had a funny dream that I was on a treadmill and people kept handing me these glass balls that were extremely valuable and I could not drop them. The treadmill was going faster and faster and people were handling me more and more balls. I think God intervened in my dream because all of a sudden there was a huge basket by the treadmill and I thought, I can't do this all alone, I will put the balls in this basket and God can take care of them. Isn't that a cool dream. I am really not sure if I was awake or asleep, it was kind of like a day dream, only at 3 a.m. But, I felt really at peace when it was over and I slept so great... until 6 a.m. :) 

So, was it a God given dream, or have I been watching the Olympics too much before I go to bed?

By the way, my 4 year old wants to swim faster than Michael Phelps one day. I told him he could with enough practice. He believes he can and I do too.  Have a great weekend!
