What some just don't understand about raising triplets

Since the babies were born their have been several times when I just got sad, cried, because I either couldn't go to a function or because we couldn't take the babies.  Or even because I haven't seen a lot of the people that I love in my life.  I could say this next statement until I am blue in the face, but some people just don't get it.  Three babies to one person, or even two (mother and father), is not easy when you are not in your own element.  Element meaning home, where all the baby items are.  

If I could actually manage to get out everyday, go to every function, and manage all three babies plus my four year old I dang sure would.  I have tried, and do try occasionally, but I'm exhausted by the end or even middle of the event and can barely function myself.  Plus the times we have got out I either only take one baby plus my four year old or just Beau. When I have all four out its either going to a doctor baby check up, or something planned with someone helping me.  Most of the times that I have got out I either had a friend, my husband, my Gram, or my Dad and Sue.  

The reason I am talking about this, is because it hurts me when people do not understand my life, our life as a family with 4 month old triplets, plus a 4 year old.  Yes, they are good babies, but their are THREE.  Every family with triplets that I have spoke to, and fortunately I have came across four families, tell me this exact thing I am writing about.

Side note to this post:

Yes - I would love to be out way more than I am now.  Trust me, I am a country girl who loves to be outside.  Spend time with my family.  Spend time with friends.  Go out...like out to dinner, to a movie, to a concert, and most of all to church.  Ok, I know you get it. Lol.  

***My prayer that spins off this is that of all things, I am able to give of myself to my children as much as they need.  To be selfless, and not selfish.  I pray that I can teach them the life lessons they need to know.  Finally, I pray I can teach them about the Lord, and how HIS love is truly unconditional.  Lord I have so many flaws that I know you wipe away every day, but I pray that you guide me, lead me, and most of all direct me as a mother to my four boys.

Raising triplets is not the easiest, and from what other triplet families tell me is that its tough the first 18 months or so, but then it gets much better.  I love these sweet babies so whatever the life is, I will take it. :)

Bottles everyday.  I usually do two loads in the dishwasher a day.  Today I got a little behind since it was Sunday. :)
