No, the title of this post is not in reference to myself. I am currently on Day 3 of survival after my own mother has deserted me to ---gasp--- take care of my own children, house, and hubby. My heavens who does she think she is? Well, let me tell you..... For some reason I just can't quite nail the science of how this woman managed to come into unfamiliar territory and do 85 loads of laundry, make breakfast, lunch and dinner, bathe and change the diapers of my two children, play games and read books to my toddler, cuddle my 3-week old and clean my entire house. I am lucky to get one of the above done and a shower before Kyle gets home from work. I assume eventually I'll get the "hang" of it and catch on to the secrets of the mysterious speicies, superous-womanous.To elaborate on the trip a bit more, Gramma brought Cade a sticker-book, a tradition going on almost a year now. This one topped all the others, being one that Cade can reallllly re-stick and re-use over and over again. There are many sticker books that claim this, but only the farm animal sticker book holds true to the claim. Gramma also surprised us with the Savanna Smiles DVD, a priceless movie. The girl in this movie is absolutely adorable--so adorable her face made me vow to myself to name my first-born daughter after her.
I shall keep you posted on my progress of "getting it together" and "staying on top of things" ..... Hail to all ye Supermoms!

I can't wait!!!-kyle-
Holy cow... you sound exactly like I felt! Lexi was born. Zan came out about a day later and remained for a week. Then Derek had a week off (T-giving) from school. Then he went back and I was left with two children and no idea how to schedule out my day! There were a couple days in there that got a little crazy. But it DOES get better. You really do get the hang of it. Not that having three doesn't still terrify me-- I try not to think about that. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. In a couple years...
If you figure it out let me know. I'm going on child five and still can't get anything done.
don't worry the grandmas put us all ot shame- i think it comes rom years of skill training and experience! (and they return home to a good nights sleep!)
