    I do not work, but I go to school FT.

    The hardest part is to leave them, it breaks my heart.

    The second hardest is the chaos I come back to after being gone for 8-12 hours. DH thinks that taking care of the kids is just that and does not lift a single toy off the floor or does any dishes or anything else for that matter. I am lucky he at least changes their diapers.

    Yes

    I recently realized that, at one point, I will have a kid in high school, middle school, and elementary school at the same time. WTF were we thinking?! lol

    I am right there with you love. ::Sigh::

    It's the chaos that gets me...granted I've only been BTW a week but just getting DS too and from in the morning and evening and eating is enough work...let alone keeping the house clean.  We're both working at it and it's tough!  And yeah DS is little but what we're doing right now isn't even "parenting" in the sense of raising a good human being...just changing diapers, feeding, and playing!  I can't imagine how I'll feel when I have more than one and some of the challenges of kids that aren't babies.

    And LB I was thinking of you specifically...you have so many diiferent age groups and your DH has a weird schedule.  I give you mucho props!!!

    Somehow once you are in that position you make it work.

    The satisfaction outweighs the challenges in my opinion.

    I may complaint from time to time but my kids and DH are my world.

    I took the cutest pic of Ashton giving me kisses the other night. I almost sent it out like the AW whore I am until I realized in the back you could see the mountain of laundry waiting to be steamed or folded and put up. I kind of go with as long as the kitchen/baths are clean...the rest is clutter that can wait until the weekend. There is no way I could keep up especially on the lack of sleep too.

    Ummm...I have three baskets of clean laundry waiting to be folded. They are sitting in the dining room, taunting at me every time I walk through there.

     

    LOL a large part of our laundry hasn't been getting folded...we wear it out of the laundry basket half the time.  Luckily beside work clothes we both have a lot of casual stuff that can easily be thrown back in the dryer with a dryer sheet if it's too wrinkled.

    yeah, I use that trick a lot.

    I do this damn near daily. I mean at least I am getting it washed right? We arent wearing dirty clothes. That's gotta count for something?
