I wonder what I look like sometimes in Target with them. I'm guessing it's entertaining. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the words of encouragement. This too shall pass. Funny, I think I've said that to my friends with the one baby.

First let me say that in the first three sent...Ok. First let me say that in the first three sentences I was jumping up and down in my head with hand raised yelling, "that's me, that's meeeee!!!!". Then I was thinking "YESYESYES, Boys are SO busy, and so much work, THANK YOU for validating that". Then I was thinking, "Aw Carrie, thank you for remembering, and recognizing HOW hard it is". And then I was giving myself a little pat on the back, because I was like, "yeah, it IS hard damn it, no matter how much it is my normal right now, It's still kind crazy". <br /><br />Then I read that my crazy life was part of this post. Aw shoot. Then I about cried. <br /><br />Let me tell you, friend. When I read those words, "this will pass" in reply to my chaotic picture of my reality, I was comforted. It is so good to hear that it won't carry on like this forever from someone who has been there. Of course I realize it won't get easier, the challenges will be different, but I have to believe that it's not quite the catastrophes later on. <br /><br />Now this mommy is going to go try to put herself in a time out for sanity sake. :)Naptime Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863978855720217982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-43388884672693081052012-02-25T19:43:29.332-08:002012-02-25T19:43:29.332-08:00My 2 youngest kids were born 3/29/00 and 2/15/01. ...My 2 youngest kids were born 3/29/00 and 2/15/01. Yep...you read that right. Ten & 1/2 months (to the day!) apart. I didn't plan it that way. And honestly, I don't remember much of 2001. It's just one big blur.<br /><br />When I came to, I remember wearing sweatpants & stretchy Tshirts & going to Walmart with my greasy hair in a ponytail & feeling like I looked "OK". I cringe now because it's kind of amazing I didn't end up on the people of walmart website. Truthfully, though, it was just because I was exhausted & trying to handle 3 young kids at one time while staying semi-sane. With one in a carseat, one on my hip & another one scurrying along behind me, it's amazing I ever got anything done. I used to joke that no one else could change the TP roll in the house because it was the ONE thing I could start & finish in one day!<br /><br />Sigh....but you're right. This too will pass. And she'll look back & realize how sweet a time it was, no matter how insane & crazy!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606570803094936934noreply@blogger.com
