For a husband who "gets it," or at least does a pretty damn good job of faking it. This arrived with a note that reads, "Hang in there. You're doing a great job" the day after the twins simultaneously decided to declare war on us by crying uncontrollably from 8am until midnight.
For a friend who stops by with her super-cute son and a bagful of treats from a favorite bakery to make my 10th straight hour alone in my house with two "fussy" (read: inconsolable) infants and an "energetic" (read: spastic) toddler much more bearable.
For my best friend who came over on Wednesday night after working a full day at her stressful job to help me wrap a stack of Christmas presents, because she knows if there's anything I'm short on, it's time. (And also, patience, clean clothes, and the will to live.)
It may take a village to raise a child, a concept that has never meant more to me than right now, but it also takes a village to keep mama from fleeing said village with just the clothes on her back and the promise that she will return once the French au pair arrives.
WONDERFUL!!! It's the little things, eh?!
Those are wonderful things indeed to be grateful for. I'm glad they're in your life.
What a wonderful hubby! It must be very nice to know he 'gets it'.
So, when will that au pair get there!??
I am so happy for you! Sounds like you have a lot of people who love you and your family.
It was our pleasure! Wasn't that coffee cake delicious?
Hooray for Jenny!
Those flowers are great! And it's so wonderful that you have such thoughtful friends!
Kristi - I hope to be able to do something for you that would add me to that mental list...
I'm sorry (really) that I have been of no help to you as of yet. Funny how those two young kids of mine and my job keep getting in the way of my plans :)
ahhhh all of those things are so sweet...one of the moms at the gym has triplets... she said to look for a book called how to survive mulitpules- twins, triplets, and quads... she said that it saved her life... if you want i will ask for her email address... the triplets are now almost 5...
