Our house motto, "if it's not one, it's the other"
I try so hard to find the good and stay positive.. I just want something to go our way for once.

Let's normalize kids and families NOT being made to feel guilty for loving a step parent or ANYONE that isn't blood related. Let's stop making children feel like they're some how not being loyal to blood related or "real" family by loving family that isn't. Lets stop telling our children, "thats not your REAL dad, mom, brother, sister, grandmother." Let's normalize NOT putting lables on blended families..we're not step, or half..just FAMILY!

Love is love, family is family no matter what blood runs. I am beyond blessed that my kids have so many to love them..both blood and not.

Nobody talks about the sick phase.

Imagine this, you're pregnant and excited and people give you all their advice... but no one mentions this one stage where your littles are sick all the time... every time you turn around it's something new..

New born stages, you expect to get hours of sleep at a time..
But no one prepares you for sick stage sleep.
Their a little older, maybe going to daycare or their siblings go to school and bring big germs home, and you're back to work full time.. but this stage of sleep no one prepares you for. Complete exhaustion.
Barely sleeping because you're too afraid to fall into deep sleep and not hear your littles *cough* *cough* *puke* or too worried about their shallow breathing constantly checking to see if they are still breathing.
Putting them down and finally crawling into bed an hour or so later but wait... guess who is waking up.. just to be up for the next 4 hours.. because nothing you do is making them feel better.

Nobody talks about
That 1am fever spike that meds aren't touching
That point of exhaustion where you just don't know what to do anymore so you give into anything they want (including cheese slices and nilla wafers at 3 in the morning).
Questioning if you should wake the others to take one of the kids to the ER because their breathing is bad.. but feeling guilty because they need their sleep too.
Not knowing what exactly is wrong with your little and not knowing how to help them.
Being worried you're going to get in trouble at work because you have to call off yet again... but you can't call anyone else for help because no one wants to watch sick kids.

It's a gut wrenching feeling and right now it feels like it's happening all the time. Its hard on you mentally, emotionally and physically. Just keep reminding yourself it's just a stage and it will get better.. and soon the seasons will change.

This stage has been my least favorite, I'd gladly go back to newborn nights.

Day 3 of the new year and the baby already has an RSV diagnosis. Determined to not let this be the forecast for my year. Anyone else off to a bad start in the new year?

Hi & Welcome!
My name is Casey. I'm a married, momma of 4. My sister from another mister recently said to me "we are surviving, not thriving" and man, did it resonate with me. In 2023 I had so many conversations about how we are all out here just trying to get by. It hurt my heart and in 2024 I want to do more than just survive, for me, for my family and my friends. So here I am taking a chance on myself! I know that I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and probably only funny to myself, but that's okay, I'm here for me.

Welcome to the page where we talk about how KaotiC works for me and mine.
We can't all have pristine houses, or fancy fridge organizers, and good diets and cool workouts. So just me, a regular mom, with a regular job and a regular house that has messes everywhere, & kids that act like kids..
Let's talk about things, just to know we have support no matter what we have or don't have!
