I wish my sister in law could read this post (and maybe I'll print it out for her) so that she might get an idea of what truly is important - because she has none of the understanding that you do.

You are amazing!

Beautifully written. You are amazing.

i think this is one of the best posts you've ever written. everyday life does go to fast, but we have to make ourselves stop and enjoy the things that really matter. :)

Family dinners are HUGE for us. Now that the twins are old enough and awake, they eat with us and the same food too! Sometimes we eat takeout or breakfast, but we're together, all 6 of us. It's a huge thing.

And my time with Doug is very important to me. Even if he's working after the kids go to bed and I"m on the computer, we still say hello to each other and are silly together. After almost 10 years of marriage, we still need to remember to work at it.

Don't kill yourself though; I don't want a sick AA in November!

I love that.
I've started making a point of stopping and breathing and playing with my kids.
I find it hard when you're so used to multitasking to just stop and focus on something like pretending to be a train, but you know, I kind of like it.
And, I'm with you on dinner. We've started making a point of turning off the tv and sitting at the table. Matt gets it now and it's soooo important. And, I care more that he's with us than what he eats (within reason).

You are SUCH a great mother and wife. Cheers to yo...

You are SUCH a great mother and wife. Cheers to you for taking a break from all the little (but necessary) stuff that wouldn't get done without you so you can give your family (and yourself) EXACTLY what they need.

I am no longer ashamed of "breakfast for dinner" nights, either.

BUT, do you ever get mixed up and bite Mike's toes?

In all seriousness, this was a great post.

I should have something more to say then "You are an amazing writer and you inspire me" but that's all I've got so I'm saying it with a lot of meaning - seriously, a lot.

You juggle it all so well!! I love this post and it is exactly what I needed to see.

You ARE the true definition of a Mommy Multi-Tasker!

In a couple of weeks, I'm sure I'll be able to write a somewhat similar post :)

Girl, you deserve a medal of honor for all that you do! I don't know how you do it, I boo-hoo about having to watch two toddlers while my husbands gone.

You are teh awesome, A. :D

2008-09-18T22:38:57.725-04:00

Good for you. It's hard to get to everything. Just make sure you don't go so much you get sick or something!!! I don't want to read a post about you multitasking with vomit!

2008-09-18T22:11:21.396-04:00

Godd for you, A! Seriously hard to juggle everything and you seem to have it down! We eat together almost every night- sometimes my husband is a wee bit leter than tiny tummies can wait until!
It goes way too fast. Keep sitting on that lawn and enjoying it.

That was so beautiful I am crying. I feel the same way you do, but am jealous of the time you have with the hubby. I know deep in my heart that Steve's new schedule is for us, but I feel like a single Mom and it sucks. When you are all sitting at dinner enjoying each other just know that is really is so important. My pitty party will end soon.
