totally tangled
Pretty much describes my brain and the way my sinuses feel, but anyway...
All I could manage to do today was trying to turn this monstrous snarl of yarn
into something a little more usable. Oh, that and trying to keep my kids from killing each other. I thought having two girls would be nothing short of ideal. They'd be best friends, like my sister and I were. The thing I treasured most throughout my childhood was the relationship I had with my sister. Oh, we fought, we gave each other the silent treatment, we irritated one another. But when it came down to it, she was *always* there for me. A constant. We could rely on each other, and we were a strong team. I always imagined that for my girls. I still do. But sometimes I lose all hope and think they'll always be at odds with one another. And on days like today (and yesterday, and the day before...) I just wish I could ship them off to different grandmas and go get some sushi and play pool with my husband like we used to, back in another lifetime.
Sending lots of hugs from here! I can relate to the frustration you are feeling. Hope you do get a chance to spend some quality "hanging out" time with hubby!

At least they aren't boys. Because the endless poo talk and physicality are enough to drive any Mama to the brink of sanity.
They should run 'sibling swap' instead of wife swap, then they'd appreciate what they've got!

Yes, I am way behind on blogging again...but have a VERRRY good reason. :-)
YIKES! I do not have a ball winder so I use the backs of the kids little chairs (you know the kind that are at little kid tables). AND, my hank of Knit Picks S'mores was a mess about 1/2 way through. My husband even made a funny comment about it (should've taken a picture). Bleck. I hope that it worked out well for you. And I agree with Ali...the poo talk and talk of "butts, burps, farts" and other bodily noises is driving me insane (that and the bickering/wrestling....). Yes I am with you...grandma needs more time with them...yeah. Is there a travel package out there...hmmm...now some agency could make a lot of money with a "ship your kids to grandma's" travel special.

you should still go out with your hubby sometime! And you know, _some_ fighting makes the sweet times that much sweeter ;-)
