But, if you have other moms, hopefully with slightly older kids, that you can go with, it helps to have the extra hands. Though, you have to make sure that the other mom knows you need a little help. (That was always the hardest part for me!) I also had a nanny for a little while who came over a couple times a week just so we could go to the store or the park or whatever. I sure miss her now! She was a high schooler on independant study. Hard to find...other than that, we hung out at home and found loads of fun activities (I'll have to find the website and send it to you!) to keep them occupied until Dad came home, then made him go out with us for a quick playtime.<br />My mom's favorite saying is: "This too shall pass." And it is SO true. Now that they are almost 4 (!!!!) taking them out is easy again. No worries about falling and they actually listen in the store! It comes fast too...enjoy the different season...sometimes staying at home can be good too...twoandtwinsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842632178889090996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989274023826017311.post-29892095332934588052009-08-27T18:09:20.282-05:002009-08-27T18:09:20.282-05:00Same. Oh, same.
I used to go out more but now I...Same. Oh, same. <br /><br />I used to go out more but now I'm just too dang tired! Randomly, I'll go to a park. But, all my patience and energy is zapped up during my regular errands...bank, grocery store, costco, etc. It sucks! It makes me sad and I feel like I'm no fun a lot. But, luckily we do lots of family stuff and I will take just one of the kids on a date every Tuesday....Marielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531445766915179983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989274023826017311.post-59171992907473968812009-08-24T21:54:34.658-05:002009-08-24T21:54:34.658-05:00I feel the same way!
