This two kid thing?
It's dang hard some moments.
Like when I get Leo to take a nap, and then try to put Guy down, who screams and wakes Leo up. Or like when I finally take a moment to sit down and realize that my house somehow exploded and there is shrapnel on every surface and littering the floor.
And the laundry? Oh, the laundry.
I just have these moments when I feel so overwhelmed. And I'm trying to just take life one step at a time, but the list in my head keeps getting longer. It's hard to focus on this one thing I'm doing right now when the rest of my house is a visual reminder of the next six things that have to be done.
The best part? Josh won't be home until late tonight. One last group project.
But maybe that's a good thing. It'll mean I won't have to worry so much about getting the house looking decent just yet. I have a few hours to try and get the place looking decent again.

Hey Emily, major congrats!!! I'm sure it's a handful having two, but they sure are cute kids! :0) Bon courage avec tout!
I mean this. Write the list down. Every. Little. Thing. And then when you do it, put a check mark by it. I don't mean "wash dishes". I mean "wash utensils" "wash plates"
Because it helps so much to break it down and then when you feel like you've accomplished nothing you can look back and see what you did.
I know. It is so hard with two! Dana says it's like the second is really 3 more. I agree.
I honestly can't remember if I've congratulated you yet or not but either way...Congratulations! How old is Guy? I read somewhere that you guys are moving! Is this true? If so, where to?

I do this too, at work. It helps a lot.
Also... we have a washer & dryer IN OUR HOUSE! Woo hoo! You'll like that part of living with us. The two kid thing will still be a problem, but laundry just got a whole lot easier. :)
