What did the Doctor think?

So today the older 2 went off to school, I dropped Zach and Dominic off at my Sister-in-law's and Naomi and I went to my doctor for my 6 week check up...Yes it has already been 6 weeks! all went well I hadn't lost as much weight as I was hoping:( however I am really only about 5 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight. Everyone at the office loved Naomi, and I got the usual "you look great you don't look like you just had a baby speech" So I won't lie it makes me feel great.

From that appointment I went and picked up the boys and went to the pediatrician for Zach's pre-school check up and boy it was a long visit, Dominic was horrible! he had 2 tantrums, threw their toys and books, I had to put him in time out twice, Naomi cried, I was feeling frazzled but held it together wondering the whole time what was the doctor thinking? did she think I was nuts for having so many children? did she think I was discipling my son appropriately? did she just feel for me as a fellow Mom of 5? I don't know. I do know that I feel like I am under some scrutiny, people are watching how I parent these 5 children of mine, at least I feel they are......I guess because I so want to do a good job, it is after all my full time job I have to do it well right?

I came home from that second appointment exhausted, I put Naomi and Dominic to bed (gladly put Dominic to bed) and told Zach to watch TV! and I went to bed too!! I didn't even feel bad about it, I needed it and I fell hard asleep until Josh came in from school and woke me up...Oh well it helped I got up was happy to get the kids their snack help with homework, take Madelyn to piano, run to the store, pick Madelyn up, go home make dinner, quiz Josh on spellings, sign all their books, feed the baby, read stories to Dominic (yes I did get him up) get them all to bed, throw the laundry in the dryer and feed the baby........
I'm off to bed so I can do it all again tomorrow:) gladly as my children are my blessings I just need to give my days to God and he will give me the strength and patience to sail through my days:)
