So Joe informed me on the way home from Nick's gymnastics class that our family is wild and crazy. I asked if he was embarrassed of us. He said no, he just doesn't like how out of control things seem to get, always. I agree. And when its in front of a group of people you don't know you realize how crazy things really are. For about an hour we both worked hard to keep Nate and the girls entertained and happy while Nick bounced around in his new gymnastics class. He loves it! But for me it is a scheduled nightmare. I prepare as much as I can for this hour of entertaining twins and a 2 yr old while I try to watch Nick. However, it pretty much is a disaster waiting to happen. I actually didn't think things went that bad, but when Joe and I started to go over it all I realized I've just become totally used to the maddness around me. It really almost made me want to cry but we laughed instead. Nate was running around climbing all over chairs, he tried to run into the class, he almost flipped the lights out, Kate bit me hard on my shoulder (she left a mark), Ally was fussing, and every few minutes someone would let out a scream, Nate was back and forth playing in the water fountain drinking and trying to wet his hair in it, and then the girls started to try to bite each other and pinch so we went outside since I noticed the dirty looks and talking all around me. The change of scenery worked for about 15 minutes but it was raining and cold today so we went back in. The funniest part of it all is when we first got there a married couple told me what an amazing mom I must be, I think their opinion changed after all the chaos we brought to class! Adam said he would never go there with all 5 and my response is my only choice is to stay at home and contain the maddness or get out. We don't have any family to help out so I have no choice, and a babysitter is not always an option. Adam and Joe are my options for help and Adams got to work so its a mess is all i can say for now. The crying continues in the background I must go!
