OMG - virtual hugs and chocolate - utterly useless I know .My mind cannot comprehend how you do it and stay sane.
They say twinsanity for twins but what about the trip mothers ?.
I confess some days I can barely handle my 20 month old twins who by each passing day are trying new tricks to outsmart me and pushing the boundaries.
You rock for remaining so cool for so long every day.
I am glad the next day was better.
Today , out on errands and waiitng in queues to claim back money on health fund - I had about a dozen people mutter under their breath or say out loud "double trouble", "you got your hands full' ...ra ra ra and I nodded - too exhausted and exasperated to argue but I guess I should have said what would you know - have you ever read Jen's blog.

Hi Jen,

I've been keeping up with you even though I've been out of the "blogging" world lately.

I truly do not see how you do it. I find myself yelling all the time too. I will declare it "no yelling day" every day and by 8 o'clock A.M...I'm already yelling.

I would definitely agree that some sort of mother's day out or preschool would be sooo beneficial for you and for them. It has helped out my boys tremendously. You don't want to jeopardize your sanity over the kids. They probably know exactly how to push your buttons...I know mine do!

Hang in there.

JEN3 (umm, now Jen4),

I have thought about your family over the last few months. I happened to find a comment you left on another blog and THAT is how I found you again!

Last we *talked*, you were pregnant and then nothing. Now, i see your little baby is 8 months old and I sit here wondering, WOW - where did the time go.

Now, you are probably thinking - stalker, but no, it's me Christy S in TX from the Resolve/Babysteps days.

I'm bookmarking you so I can come back and post more later, but I wanted to say that I love your pictures and your stories.

I can't believe how big the trips are! WOW! My twins are 29 months today and I am in awe of how LONG ago it seems that they were babies.

Can you chalk it all up to chocolate overload? Thats what I chalked today up to. It may not be correct but man it made me feel like tomorrow just might be better after all.

Way to find the silver lining of that black cloud. LOL. I was laughing and empathizing big time, and I only have ONE four year old and three teens. But man, they can drive me crazy! So I SO appreciated that post.
I've just added you to my blog roll.
Hang in there! Another year or two and they'll be in school for HOURS at a time! Sanity looms large.

Welcome home!

White vinegar gets the dye out as well. Peanut dumped the bottle of vinegar after we had finished with our eggs and it left a clean spot on her cheek after it splashed off of the table, my stack of books (unread), and her brother. Oh and the floor.

Vinegar smells bad in large quantities, by the way.

Jen, Jen, Jen, how was the Montessori school? LOL...

Jen, Jen, Jen, how was the Montessori school? LOL! FYI, Clorox clean-up gets rid of the dye too in like 5 seconds. They might die, but their hands will be clean. FYI, boys can pee standing up on trees, bushes, the yard, etc. No need for the potty!!!!!

Did I mention that I'm so glad I'm a year ahead of you? I'm so glad I'm a year ahead of you. So glad.
:) I really had to have them in activities at least 5 days a week during the threes. Now, I could have them home again. It's weird. I was thinking about it today when I was forcing them into the car to go to school.

You'll get to next year!!!!! Just keep lots of chocolate around!!!

"Turtle Wax removes Easter egg dye."

OMG! I'm glad I wasn't eating anything or it would've been all over my laptop, I didn't expect that line and found it hilarious lol.

I can't even imagine how you manage. I have a 3.5 year old and an almost 2 year old and some days (like today) I can barely handle them. I can't imagine having 3 of my 3.5 year old. I hope your day gets better. :)
