What would I do without you?

I have the BEST friends. You guys really are amazing. They never cease to amaze me. I can't express how thankful I am for them.

I've been having a difficult time having three kids. I've never had to rely on people as much as I do now. It's been hard for me to adjust. But I've been so lucky because the women in my ward are awesome! They are always willing to help and knowing that they're there is beyond comforting. They are super supportive and I don't know how I'd be handling this without them.

We have a weekly playgroup. It's my favorite day of the week, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find the energy to get out. Kaity is sometimes cranky after school. Apani adds 15 minutes to a 15 minute walk. And with the weather I'm just too exhausted.

Yesterday, I decided I would be daring and just go! Why not, right? Playgroup afterall really is for the moms, isn't it? I'd go insane without it, I really think I would. Anyway. We hop on the train. Apani is struggling to get onto her seat as the train starts to pull away. She loses her balance, slams her face into the seat perpendicular to her, and split her chin open. It was hard to tell how bad it was or if it was bad at all, but I decided to take her to the ER. Thankfully it's one of the stops on the train.

I had Kristin with me and without a second thought, she offered to take Kaitlyn and Madelyn. (Meanwhile she had her own 2 year old to watch! She's a brave woman!) While I was at the ER, my friends were all watching my kids. THANKS GUYS!! They were able to calm my stubburn, hungry baby who will only nurse. One of them picked me and Apani up so as to avoid another trip on the train...she even offered to drive us home! I can't express how thankful I am for having such great friends.

Apani by the way is ok. She didn't need stitches but they did have to glue it. Now, I just hope her dimple is ok. And from now on, I'll never leave my house. :)
