Nate the Great!

Nate is pretty great! He has managed to poop in about 2 packages worth of underwear in the last month or two! Which all end up in the trash. He has about two pair of underwear left. Every time it happens it makes me feel that much more like a failure! As a stay at home mom I should have a handle on these sort of things, right? Well, I guess not. He had just gone poop in the toilet before he pooped his pants! I thought I was free from poop for an hour or so at least. Not even 10 minutes later he walks by with it in his pants like nothing even happened!

On a positive note, Kate and Ally woke up completely clean today!!!!!!! For the past 6 days, yes I counted, Kate has greeted us in the morning with crusty poop up her back and Ally soaking from top to bottom. They either eat too much or it's the milk. I'm still trying to figure that one out! It takes about 20-30 min each morning to get them bathed and the beds cleaned up.

I think the stress of multiples is so great it effects the entire dynamics of a family! There is just not enough hands to do it all. The stresses of everyday life fall on the child to do on their own. And although it may make them more responsible. Some tasks may just be too much for them to handle or they know they'll get attention if they just scream long enough - which just dumps more stress into the stress bucket of life. The stress is a non-stop cycle.

I have never had such a heavy load of stressful responsibility in my life before these twins. Not all the time but most of the time I feel like I'm about to drown in the sea of stress. We continue to work to survive. I guess I need to get more organized help around here or something!

Today I got to take Joe to his class and drop the little ones off at the nursery for 3 hours! Finally, a break! Tuesdays are good! The breaks are few and short in between but God has a plan and a future for each of us. I'll keep cleaning fannies as I go!
