A few of my favorite things

As I go about my day I often think of things that I love and things that I don't love so much.  Here are a few.

Things I love:
1.  Naps..specifically long naps.
2.  Cleaning and organization.  I especially love vacuuming.
3.  Belly laughs.  Those laughs that seem to come from their toes.
4.  The way the boys "talk" to each other by screaming, babbling and coughing at each other.
5.  How excited they are when I get them out of their beds in the morning and after naps.
6.  Coffee.
7.  Toys.  How would I keep 3 kids occupied without a variety of toys.
8.  Netflix.  It's a cheap way to get shows we wouldn't normally be able to watch because we don't have cable.  Watching Jon and Kate Plus 8 makes my life look so simple!
9.  Folding laundry.  It's like therapy to me.

Things I don't love:
1.  When Reese is tired and refuses to nap or sleep in his own crib.
2.  Getting up in the middle of the night.  I am not one of those people who enjoys getting up and snuggling in the middle of the night.  I love my kids, but I need my sleep.  Please don't bother me between the hours of 10:00 and 6:30.  :)  I'm a much happier mom when I get my sleep (and lots of it).
3.  Changing crib sheets.  Worst. job. ever.
4.  When strangers ask questions such as whether or not our children are products of IVF and whether or not we're done having children.  Some even tell us they hope we're done.  It drives me crazy!!

Well, laundry is calling my name.  It has to get done today (it is laundry day after all) and tomorrow the boys all have an appointment with the developmental specialist.  Hopefully they are on track!
