I have been going through the same thing this week especially. I honestly believe that when you are dealing with chronic pain on top of everything else, it just makes things so much more difficult and I know I myself lose perspective in the midst of it all. Hang in there and know you are not alone!!! We are all crazy!!! Wish I was there to help you...., or at least enjoy a nice shot (or several shots) of espresso with you! Love you :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074831935453208548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-49400117925871906362009-09-02T17:02:10.305-05:002009-09-02T17:02:10.305-05:00I agree with everyone.

I can barely get it going before 9am which is hard since Nicholas starts preschool next week. All in due time, but who really cares as long as the kids, you and your hubby feel loved.The Khanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407019068175956915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-37378473175442334502009-09-02T09:57:43.620-05:002009-09-02T09:57:43.620-05:00As for those other moms- SHAME ON THEM!!!!

And obviouly they did not have such good control over their kids, because if they had- they would NOT have been poking at Will!!!! If I was there Spanish Fury would have pullked out a can and let them all have a taste!!! <br />I am not even dealing with VInce out of the womb... just Sebastian and showers are a luxury, make-up is only applied when my mother in law or hubby(whoever is staying with Sebastian) is present and I can close the bathroom and quickly apply to go to Dr's or whatever function we are headed to... You, my friend, are doing a marvelous job raising your 2 precious little ones!!! DON'T FORGET THAT!!!Carmen & Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234856849130331183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-54643284687775140172009-09-01T17:44:08.233-05:002009-09-01T17:44:08.233-05:00Ok, not that I have "it" all together my...Ok, not that I have "it" all together myself, but "it" wasn't within 30 miles of me the first year after either child was born. I didn't bother with makeup, showered very rarely and just decided to give a hoot about anything and everything other than making it to bed without anyone on my hip as I crawled into bed. Actually, I still don't do most of those things. Except now I end up falling asleep in Christopher's bed instead of my own some nights. So, don't worry, "it" will come back and visit you soon! Oh, like when your parents come. That usually helped me find "it".Brittnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974924100753489528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-53852365395178839562009-09-01T17:29:26.806-05:002009-09-01T17:29:26.806-05:00Oh Lauren! How I have been there...
First a word ...Oh Lauren! How I have been there...<br />First a word of advice about having two. When you have a newborn, forget "it." The IT that these other moms (may or may not) have doesn't come till you're done waking up in the middle of the night, have some semblance of a schedule and can sit down for more than 10 minutes at a time.<br /><br />Second, there is no real "it." You just seem to notice everyone else when your day has gone to the crapper. It ALWAYS looks better from the outside.<br /><br />Give yourself a break and some slack. It's super hard being a mommy. Bennet isn't going to die from eating taco bell for lunch. She won't even remember eating it.<br /><br />Take a deep breath, focus on putting one foot in front of the other and when your day comes to have "it" all together, you can be a gracious woman who helps the other mom instead of looking scandalized!!!<br /><br />staceypokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493200371290541600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-74099402306444065702009-09-01T17:18:19.412-05:002009-09-01T17:18:19.412-05:00Girl I feel your pain!

As the kids get older it will get easier and better. :-) And, Ella and I eat Taco Bell (and other various kinds of junk food) all the time...you mean that's not ok? ;-)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391758933759078843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028038272328337876.post-6787144357407895082009-09-01T17:10:10.648-05:002009-09-01T17:10:10.648-05:00Oh man, what a day!

I know I would have. <br /><br />Want me and Clara to come over for a bit tomorrow morning to feed and diaper and entertain the masses while you get a few minutes of Mommy time?
