shelly and the terrible horrible no good very bad day

When I got up this morning at 4:30 am, I was determined to make this a "good" day. Lately there hasn't been to many of them. I guess I'm really missing my Grandpa. Friday it will be a year since he passed. Man I'm really taking it hard-and have been for the last few weeks. Really I can't believe it's been a year already. I miss him more and more each day. I miss his words of wisdom and comfort. I seem to need him more now than I ever did before. Someday. I really wish he could have seen the babies. I know how his face lit up when he saw little ones. I wish I could tell him that I named one of the boys after him. When I was pregnant, I wanted the namesake to be a surprise to him, and he passed before I had the opportunity to tell him. It's crazy that Ryan actually looked like my Grandpa when he was in the NICU. They all looked like lil old men, but he really looked like him. The other 2 look nothing like that either. Ryan also has some of the same mannerisms. Like the way he chews, and what he does with his hands. My Gpa did the same things. I guess we picked the right baby to name after him.

Gotta stop crying and get back to today. Loaded all the kids in the van, dropped Delaney off at preschool. Came home and heard nothing but crying for the next few hours. Nonstop! Went to make dinner in the crock pot, and I didn't have enough sour cream left. The recipe that I had needed sour cream. Since the kids were cranky I loaded them back up about 1/2 hr early to pick up Delaney. We went to 3 drive in gas stations to find sour cream, no luck. The girls working thought I was nuts, I explained I had triplets and didn't want to unload them all just to get sour cream. Not to mention I wore sweat pants and a sweat shirt, my hair was in a bun/ponytail kinda thing, no make up and the biggest bags you have ever seen under anyones eyes. Pick up Delaney. Stop at the gas station by my house (which is very small) ran in and got it. Yes I was so nervous leaving them in the car, but in my defense I was about 10' from them the entire time, and I could see each of them, because I pulled straight in front of the door and the doors were locked! I got it Yay! Get home kids still cry feed them, get all but Dylan down. Put dinner in the crock. Get Delaney lunch. Try to get Dylan to stop crying. No Luck! He cried ALL day. Went to eat dinner....I never plugged the crock pot in! Made it on top the stove, burnt it. Oh well I went though hell to make this dinner, everyone is gonna eat it! Delaney barely ate it because of the Mushroom soup. Which is ironic considering she went to play with the neighbor girl and ate dinner with them. Would you like to know what they had???
You guessed it Cream of Mushroom soup, and she ate a whole bowl.

Not kidding you all the kids cried all day. I'm starting to wonder if maybe their having a reaction to the Synagis injections. I was told by numerous people that there are hardly ever side effects. So I wonder if that's really whats bothering them. Today I could have just ripped my hair out. As soon as Greg got home (with a convenient sudden headache) the kids were his! I was off duty (after dinner) So Delaney and I finished making the 150 turkeys for the nursing home and the NICU. All I gotta do is the finishing touches tomorrow and whaa-la their done! Oh no I just remembered I haven't planted my bulbs for spring....Aaarrgh! Anyone know how long I got...or is it too late? I gotta run, get in the shower and in bed before someone wakes up!

Oh before I forget....Congrats to Gabby on the birth of her new nephew Derrick. Born this evening! And I guess to Hannah too, for having him! Lilly is going to be such a good big sister!

Oh Nikki, congrats on Baby #2. Don't buy anything, I think I got ya covered!

Boy I sure hope there's nothing in the water....I think I would jump off a cliff!
