It is true that I got lucky. I got incredibly lucky with Dylan and Riley. I couldn't have chosen better babies if I had the choice to make. They are amazing, wonderful, overall easy babies, and I am so happy to have them in my life.
Which is why when they both get upset at the same time, I sometimes lose it. Sometimes it's just too much for me to take. Probably because it is so rare that it happens, I'm not prepared for it.
Today I have had a nasty cold, I'm tired, achey, my head hurts, etc etc. Josh has been so great today taking the babies and handling it all, but the mom in me comes out and I have to take control (or try to). So I start playing with them and they are fine until they are done with playing and start crying. So I am trying to console one while the other is getting jealous (seems to happen a lot lately). All I want to do is take a bath and relax, but I can't if they are both upset.
Josh offered to take them for a walk, which he did, and so I took a long soak while they were out. I hear them come home, I get out of the tub, get my jammies on, and come out to flowers and a card.
"I know things are tough right now,
but just remember -
every flower that ever bloomed
had to go through a lot of dirt to get there."
So true! I love my husband :)

I hope you feel better soon. It stinks that mommies never get "sick days" from "work". I hope Dylan and Riley escape the cold, too!
Aaw... that is so nice! Hope you feel better!
LOVE it! Wish my husband would bring me flowers dammit!

You know what? Motherhood is freakin hard!! seriously, it's a job. An incredibly rewarding job, but it's not easy....and multiple that by two and you're bound to have a rough few days or weeks or even months. You're doing fantastic, though!!
