Hi everyone!
I haven't updated in a while for a few reasons.
First last weekend, my mom, my sisters and myself went to Boston. I left the kids with Alan and his parents (he just sprained his ankle very badly so I knew help was needed) Anyway we had a blast. I had a hard time leaving, after all I have never left any of my children overnight in all the time I have been a mother... but my trip was WONDERFUL and a great break! I will post all about my trip and pictures too later, but I did discover a few things about myself that I had forgotten.
I am not always behind.
I can be very efficent.
I am not the late person.
I remembered a little of who I was before I was mother too.
I guess with running our household I often feel overwhelmed and I never feel caught up and on the ball. I guess that is just the nature of our family right now but day to day its hard to feel you are acomplishing anything at all. Anyway, being gone I was early, I got ready fast etc... So I felt better about myself. Most of all I did miss my little ones like crazy. Thank you Alan and Grandma and Grandpa for my much needed break!
Upon my return (Sunday night) we got a day of normal and then Sydney and Hailey have now fallen very sick, again! How many times can the Stomach flu get a household? Sydney and Hailey were throwing up non stop all night, every 15 minutes, it was unbelieveable. I spent my day comforting my sick little darlings and cleaning up throw up. At one point after I bathed both girls and got them clean (for the fourth time) Hailey threw up again, it wasn't much, but while I was cleaning her up at the sink Sydney came running from the other room hit the spot and fell on her back guess where, UGH! I just laughed, poor thing. Another bath, new clothes and she was ok. Later they were both throwing up together, and I was trying to use the same bowl to help catch it. I think that seeing her twin throw up set Hailey off. Anyway... I know this is WAY to much information for all of you readers... but this is my real life, I never promised I would censor. I hope you are all laughing along with me (laughing is better than crying).
Happy Holidays!

Laura,
I admire your ability to laugh through this......again! I'm thrilled you had a great vacation, and I will be anxiously awaiting the grand unfolding! :) I love your things you realized about yourself, too!
Laura,
Sounds like a refreshing trip!! I look forward to hearing more about it! I have never been to Boston. Sounds like a fun and long-deserved adventure!! I am anxiously awaiting mine!! Last October, before I became pregnant with the twins, Michael had to go to Aruba for a week for work. I was lucky enough to be able to go with him while my mom watched the kids. It was the first time I have ever left my kids like that! It was great! I was by myself during the day relaxing (no one talking, poking or spitting up on me!!!) and with dh having fun at night. The day before I left though, the kids came down with the chicken pox!!
Anyways, I hope everyone heals quickly. This sickness stuff is getting old, eh?!?!?!!!
