Finally, one of my friends has her fourth child. Now, I have someone to compare notes with, someone who can feel my pain! Really, not so painful, if you think about it, just one more peanut butter and jelly sandwich 
That is what my older sister always says. I think it’s cute. See, she has 6 children, 5 girls & 1 boy. Did I mention Catholic?
My friend and I talk, usually, a couple of times a day. We both have 2nd graders in the same class. She called me one day and said, “now I understand!” I think that we are both losing our minds, which is really sad because I always counted on her to clue me in on even my own schedule of the day…. she was always very much on top of things. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like after a few kids, you don’t remember things as well anymore, you stop mid-sentence frequently and suddenly the subject has changed, unknowing to you, and you wonder to yourself if life will ever be normal again. Reilley is 2, and I can say that I have yet to get it back!
I’m not sure it was planned, not in my mind to have 4 children, but funny story… I went on a trip with one of my sisters years ago to California. While we were there, we thought it would be fun to have our palms read. You can find one of those on every street corner, so anyhow, I went first, I had a long life line, blah blah, and my palm showed 4 children in my future! My thoughts- “yeah whatever, I’ll stick with one”…. I wish I had written that lady’s name down, I could sure use her right now for my lotto picks!
Really though, four is fun. We have a good time. Reilley came at just the perfect time. I have a most wonderful mommy’s helper and the other 2 boys are also very good with him. They think he is cute right now…. muahahaha! Anyone else here hit the final 4?
