Happy homemaker Monday..

The weather in my neck of the woods: it is snowing again...
One of my simple pleasures : having 3 healthy happy kids..
On my bedside table: premie diapers, wipes,  a burp cloth, breast pump, boob pads, alcohol squares.
On my TV:  the super bowl pre game show 
On the menu for tonight: hot wings, chips salsa, pizza
On my To Do List: sweep and mop all seven rooms of hardwood flooring, changing all the sheets, fold and put away the ten (YES IM SLACKING HERE) loads of laundry my hubby did for me this weekend. wash the dish's and sort the baby clothes to see what new outfits ellie can now wear since she is growing out of her premie and newborn stuff..

New Recipe I tried last week: none 
In the craft basket:a jumper for ellie
Looking forward to: getting the girls room done so they can move in

Homemaking Tip for this week:when you have a newborn, 2 and 3 yr old  and you get them all 3 to nap at the same time.. take a nap your self and leave the dish's in the sink..
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other): this one from Kelly's Korner about cardboard Testimonies
Favorite photo(s) from last week

Lesson learned the past few days:

sometimes you just have to put your big girl panties on and deal with shit you dont want to .aka you husband not being a help but a henderance and complaining every time you need him to help you since you just GAVE BIRTH to HIS THIRD child in FOUR years!!! ( i feel better know that i got that off my chest)
. On my Prayer List:Pray for me and my hubby to get along better we seem to have a few bumps in the road since the new baby came home..i'll post a blog about that later.. stay tuned..HERE IS THE LINK TO THAT BLOG
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. - Hebrews 4:9-11 (KJV)

Making Your Home sing Monday

So is my house singing, Yes and NO, my to do list is getting done but no thanks to my husband, now in general he is and has been a good hardworking husband who provides for us enough that we have two vehicles and our home which are paid for, and i get to stay home with our kids. Now having said that since the baby has come home he has been an ASSHOLE.. mind you yes i understand he is tired cause yes he does work all day BUT ... he doesnt get up at night with the baby and is in bed every night by TEN p.m.He has dinner on the table MOST nights when he comes home. Since I had a c-section I cant lift heavy things and I cant drive for three weeks, So he has to take our 3yr old to preschool on his way to work. carry in all the wood for the stove making sure he has little sticks in so i can keep the fire goin during the day and haul trash. a few little things that i cant do that spur world war three it seems. I cant ask him to hold the baby while i change my 2 yr olds diaper (whom i have to lift up to put on the bed and wieghs 30 lbs.not supposed to be lifting more than 10lbs ) or to change the diaper cause he gets so pissed and says "why do i have to do Fing everything around here, get off your ass you fat lazy bitch and do something" ok so while im "doing nothing" and "sitting on my fat lazy ass" aka keeping the house clean , dinner cooked and nursing a two week old baby.. it really up sets me he only cares about sleeping or having time so he can read magazines instead of spending time with his kids and screaming at them and calling them "fucking little brats" yes he even said it to the BABY when she woke him up crying one night while i was changing her diaper.. he never uses their names just calls them that. he is ALWAYS yelling at them to move out of the way or SHUT UP .. he started tucking them in and reading them a story a year ago now when they ask him to do this he gets pissed.. SO have any of you other moms experienced this bumpy transition period after a new baby has come? i dont know what has gotten in to him.. he was never this bad before.. and where the hell is MY free time.. oh ya i dont get any.. GRR.. im a little frustrated..and he wonders why i dont feel up to " giving him just a little".and am so "bitchy" all the time.. really are men THAT STUPID??? so now i m done ranting and raving thanks for reading.. sorry for the language..but i feel i little better now.. hope your home are all singing..all and any advice is welcome..

my question this week is.. kinda personal.. 

How long did you wait after your baby was born before you did "married" things with your husband or significant other? 

with our other two we waited about 2 weeks but i had a c -section both times,this time i think we are waiting longer i just have NO interest yet.

so what is working for me is trying t o get back into a routine. It has been a challenge to get the baby on a regular nursing scheduled and keep in mind the time i need to go pick up my dd from preschool as it is a 20 minute drive ONE WAY to go get her, and to where my middle one gets his much needed nap while the baby is napping so i can get a nap, and for me to have time to blog, clean house and do all those other mommy task. my only tip for others would be figure one out on paper and make sure everything is goin to work before you start, i ve found it very hard to change the routine when i found it wasnt working mostly for my 2 yrold cause he is used to being the baby .. the baby and my three year old has been affected .hope you all are having a wonderful wednesday.
