I was waiting for that nap because my husband was away on business and it is hard keeping up with twins all day and night! I thought they were finally asleep because all was quiet upstairs, so I went on with my chores. Whe it was time for them to wake up and I still didn't hear anything, I went up to check on them. Turns out they were not sleepingat all but instead took everything out of their dresser drawers and EVERYTHING out of their closets! It was one big mess and all I could do is cry. That the kids thought, was hysterical. I sure needed a good strong cup of coffee then! One day when my twins were 3 years old I put them in for a nap at their usual time.

They are not flushable when you put 80 at a time in the toilet!!! I had to fish them out, throw them away, unstop the toilet, and clean off and change my daughter because somehow 80 wipes just didn't do the job and she got poo on her clothes...I needed a nap after that!

My son came home with the Flu. The very next day my husband contracted the flu from my son (now mind you we have a family bed). So now I have 2 sick boys each viving for Mom/Wife sympathy which I was glady providing while also washing/drying/folding laundry, filling kitchen requests and trying to work from home (I'm a retail Accountant) Well things are going along pretty smoothly for the first couple of hours until I hear a frantic "HUN!!!!" I run up stairs and my son has just thrown up on MY SIDE of the bed then my husband trying his best to start cleaning up gets sick throws up on MY SON & MY SIDE of the bed. Now I have a weak stomach but was able through the Lord on knows what powers to strip my son, husband & the bed & then toss everyone into their respective washing areas. Cleaned and dressed I left them downstairs so that I could put fresh sheets/mattress protector on the bed and try & air out the room. An hour & a half after puke-fest began they were back upstairs sleeping soundly while I sat downstairs frazzled beyond belief wishing for a GIANT cup of coffee & a cigarrette. I unfortunately got neither because A. My coffee machine had just recently died & B. I quite smoking 11 years ago. Granted I NEVER want to repeat the above experience but it would take a bit of an edge off it, if I won a new coffee maker for all the trouble. thanks for the chance Is there a day that any parent does NEED that strong cup of coffee? :) My most recent “Coffee Day” was just a few weeks ago.

We spent about an hour and a half at the store trying to look around to see what we wanted to buy and the kids just kept going on, running away from us, fighting with each other, until we bought our stuff and left. By the time we got into our car and were putting them into their car seats, our youngest one, started throwing a fit about eating a doughnut we had bought for him, and he wouldn't stop screaming, my husband, who was the one carrying the bag with all the fabric and other items we had bought that day was so stressed out that while he was putting our son into his car seat he put the bag down on the ground, left it there and got into the car and we drove away leaving the bag behind, which by the way was valued at $150 dlls worth of fabric! that should tell you how drained we were, we both were losing our minds. Such a shame we haven't been able to get our stuff back thinking that someone might have turned it in to "lost and found" or something.
