But the various reaction between the three just shows me how different they really are.<\/p>\n<p>Being a mom to three kids is honestly MUCH easier for me than having two kids. I&#8217;m not entirely sure how or why; and that will probably change once Zoe starts Kindergarten; because then for a few hours of the day for 5 days a week, I&#8217;ll just have two kids at home. It&#8217;s going to be hard on Ruthie I think more than anyone else since Zoe&#8217;s been a constant in her life since the day she was born, and while he&#8217;s cute and fun, Oscar doesn&#8217;t do much. I&#8217;ve been feeling content with the number of kids I have, and I KNOW for certainty my family is now complete; everyone that&#8217;s supposed to be here are here.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, cloth diapering is going much easier than I had anticipated. There&#8217;s been a few hiccups along the way, but I&#8217;m seriously thinking to myself; &#8220;This is way easy and so much better than having to worry about disposable diapers!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting closer and closer to my driver&#8217;s license! I&#8217;ve done 3 observations with the driving school and one driving time; I have two more scheduled for next week. And after discussion and weighing the pros and cons we&#8217;ve decided that I will take the driving test with a private company versus going to the DLD\/DMV. I&#8217;m hoping this will all be done by August 1st; however I&#8217;m not entirely sure if that will happen. At the very latest, I need to have it by August 10th; that&#8217;s the day that kindergarten registration is. That&#8217;s in three weeks; I KNOW I can do it!<\/p>\n<p>Once life catches up I&#8217;ll be able to blog more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>Man, it&#8217;s been AGES since I blogged!
