I took a nap and woke up to ribbons in my hair and fabric on the coffee table. Someone’s been designing while I sleep.

That’s so freakin’ cute, sounds like you have a little sweetheart

I told mom we were out of pastels, and she hissed at me. I’ve never felt more confused in my life.

....that..is quite the reaction, alright.

When you make your son get off his lazy ass and answer the door for Chinese and he decides to get back at you by letting the delivery man know that the only reason he’s in business is because the last time I tried to make rice I set the stove on fire. I mean, not that it’s false, but still. Asshole kid.

Whoa, holy freakin’ crap that’s a little much. 

Oh the joys of children

[zigs-novak]

Yeah, she tends to think the pictures from the mid-beginning of the triplets’ pregnancy are of hers, because I think she’s under the impression that I went from 0-100 real quick as far as my belly goes haha. RIGHT SHE’S PRECIOUS. She told me she feels bad when I can’t wear heels because she knows it took me so long to learn how to walk in them.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too -- it’s literally ‘cause you hardly showed during her pregnancy until she was like huge hahaha. AWWWWW THE BABY. I feel bad too haha, especially ‘cause I know you look dang good in ‘em too.

More #throwbackthursday: baby triplets version! From left to right, we’ve got Anthem, Chordelia, and Amadeus in some of their baby days. It’s been such an amazing experience watching them grow up into their own little individual people–even though they’ve had such different personalities from the start, haha.  👦👧👦

She does that whenever she sees the pictures? Well, that and asks me how I was able to walk. I told her I couldn’t wear heels for the last two trimesters and she patted my arm and said “I’m so sorry.”

Definitely whenever she sees the pregnancy pictures, even with her, and she doesn’t know it until I tell her. HAHAHA SAME VI SAME. She’s so cute, I can’t even with her.

#throwbackthursday to my last few weeks of pregnancy with the triplets when I resembled a small blimp! I’m still unsure how my body was even capable of supporting a belly that big but I guess that’s the price of being blessed with three little angels at once.  👼👼👼💘

The day is gonna come when Carter actually responds to “Carter, go the fuck to bed”, but today is not the day.

Never tell kids to go to bed ‘cause they’ll do everything in their power to disobey you. Tire ‘em out, man, convince them that you’re gonna stay up forever and they’ll try to hang...only to knock out within an hour or two.

It does make me feel better. It’s my mommy sippy cup, lol. That would be nice. <3 Right? It’s like the second she found out she was gonna be a big sister she just became the most giving little angel I’ve ever met–and I’m pretty sure Chordy’s just taking right after her. Don’t know if I can say the same about the boys, but they’re still sweet, too, haha. No, no, I’m not gonna make you do that. If anything I’ll just double up my students on Fridays so I can afford taking Saturdays off. You already work so much, babe, I can’t do that to you. And yeah, hopefully. I know they’re only going into kindergarten but you remember how shocked we were by how much Lala needed when she went.

I know, I know. Like it’s medication just like it would be for any other body part, I shouldn’t fall victim to the mental illness stigma, it’s just…I really thought I’d made it past that, you know? Like I felt so good knowing I didn’t need any prescriptions to carry on life as a human being–and now it’s not just me, I have kids looking up to me, I just…I don’t want them growing up and figuring out how crazy their mother is.

Haha, literally, which reminds me to look on etsy for those wacky wine glasses you like. <3 Right exactly, I literally have no idea where it came from but it needs to just stay forever. Chordy is literally picking up on it and she’s the cutest little cupcake munchkin thing I’ve ever seen and I can’t hang whatsoever, the boys have their moments of being really nice to us...and you know I guess that’s sweet, we take what we can get I suppose. Heyyyyyy a few more lessons won’t kill me, it’s no big deal, you don’t have to up your workload I can do it. Man...I know, it’s a shame we can’t get another year of daycare without bills killing us, but kindergarten is exciting(ly scary)

Then what is there to worry about? You’ll be okay babes, really. We have our little setbacks...not that illness is a setback, but it’s a bump in the road and we’ll just have to roll right over it, y’know? Hey, okay, wait, you listen to me and you listen to me good, these kids are gonna look up to you no matter what (not just ‘cause they’re short) but because you’re the most amazing mother in the world, despite everything. You are not crazy, they’re never gonna think that...okay? 

[zigs-novak]

I do love my wine, lol. Maybe we can even make wine mimosas. They’re so cute! Lala wants me to teach her to use the oven so she can start cooking dinner because she feels bad that we work all day and then do it. I don’t know how our 8-year-old is so selfless but it’s so precious. Yeah, true. I’ve been considering taking Saturdays off, too, but I know how much we need the money, especially when back-to-school season comes up. Our school supply spending is going to quadruple.

I know that. Like, logically, I do know that…but it’s just this unshakeable feeling I’ve had for what seems like ever where, if I’m not there to be in control of the situation, I’m afraid of it getting out of control. I know, yeah, it’s definitely anxiety. My therapist asked me if I’m open to seeing a psychiatrist again since it’s been so long since the triplets were born and I’m not looking to get pregnant again anytime soon, but…I don’t know. I wanted to think I’d moved past the need for pills.

You do and it makes you feel better, that sounds cute, we can definitely make you some of those. Oh my goshhhhhh, Vi isn’t freaking real,I can't even with this girl. I mean, you’re very much welcome to take Saturdays off, maybe I can pick up more students at the shop or take out extra hours to make up for it? I’m sure we could collectively put money aside for school 

Right..right...I get that babes, there’s nothing wrong with it, we can work at it...maybe help ease what you’re feeling? I mean, you never know what the psychiatrist is gonna say, maybe s/he won’t tell you that you need anything severe...or anything at all. 

[zigs-novak]

It’s okay. This is my third go at this, and while I’m kind of prepared…all pregnancies are different, and so far…this has been my most painful/sore pregnancy. I feel like I’m sleepy all the time too. haha. Yeah, you’re right. I’m just laying down right now watching TV, but Drew should be done putting the kids to bed or whatever he’s doing in a few. aha.

Oh yeah, pregnancies get weird too -- I’m sorry to hear that you’re in pain...and really sleepy, though you might be able to nap some of it off if the baby lets you. Put the boy to work too.

I will forever be eternally grateful to god and also the Family Channel that After WD’s season ended last Sunday night. I’m exhausted, there’s always someone screaming in this house, and I have a future football kicker or a future dancer that’s practicing on my ribcage right now.

That sounds absolutely awful, I’m sorry. I feel like that’s how Maya was whenever she was pregnant...especially with the triplets, the little kickers. I’m not too sure how to help with that exact problem, but company always help in one way or another

[zigs-novak]

Trying to butter me up with wine, I see, haha. Maybe we could have a picnic? Chordy and Deus were really cute when we did that last time, trying to make all different sandwiches, haha. Yeah, exactly. I mean I like being a productive member of society, but I miss the house when I’m doing so.

We are, but I miss you guys so much when I’m not there. It’s awful. I always just have this impending fear that something’s gonna happen if I’m not there. I mean, I know they’re fine in school and whatnot, but what if something happens? Or what if something happens to you? I feel so…like, when I’m not just home, I feel like I have no control over what happens there. I can’t explain it.

Well I know how much you like wine. A picnic sounds nice, they were cute, our kids are cute, we can definitely do this especially since they kind of...sort of...understand what goes with what. I’m sure we all do babes, but we make it work...and also find excuses to stay home when we have to 

Aw babes, I’m sorry. Hey...whoa wait, nothing’s gonna happen okay, everyone’s okay, no accidents nothing crazy. It sounds like that general anxiety stuff, from what I’m hearing -- not that i’m a doctor or anything - but I can assure you, everything is gonna be okay, I promise. 

[zigs-novak]

Ha, my kids are too fucking inquisitive for that shit. I wish they would’ve believed that, though.

Maaaaaan, you gotta spice up the stories, but I get that. Sex doesn’t exist, you ordered the kids off the internet. 

[zigs-novak]

Could we? What did you have in mind, because I’d be pretty up for anything. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like my job and I love the kids, but…I love my kids more. And you. 

It’s just hard trying not to remind myself that in order to afford life, this is going to be every week for the rest of our lives. I feel like it shouldn’t be this…daunting.

Of course! We could do anything, maybe open a new bottle of wine, ask someone to watch the kids and go to a movie, I’m just naming stuff off the top of my head. Same here honestly, kids are great, coworkers are great, but you guys are the best down the line. 

I know..I know...it’s hard on me too...Just...going about our days without each other, it’s rough sometimes, but we’re making it work, right?

Let’s play a game of “Why are my kids trying to figure out my sex life on the dash?”

Moral of the story, never let kids know about sex. The stork is real.
