I can now spend 30 minutes going after a gallon of milk!!! ha ha

It's funny when you stay at home 24/7 how important it is to talk to other "grown ups" and how sociable you become on any little outing!! I wouldn't change anything about staying home iwth my kids, but I treasure every little minute I get to be out and about too!!

My mil is pretty good about keeping all three kids for me every once in a while for my own sanity, since she had 4 kids close in age once upon a time.

You'd be surprised how just a few minutes a day "re-charges your batteries"

I barely ever get out without the kids and when I do, I'm totally lost. I am lonely going to the grocery store alone. How pathedic am I? I wish I had family that helped out but unfortunatly I don't. Someday.............

Hi,
I am the mother of 3 yr old triplet boys; Kayden, Kyel, Kyrk. Me and my hubby Jake have figure out a way to protect our sanity. Once our boys turned one we came up with a schedule for going out. One Sat. a month he gets to go out with the boys for a night out. One Sat. I get to go out with the girls. One Sat. we go out together on a date. and one Sat. we take the boys out. It has worked out pretty good because on the day that daddy goes out the boys get an al mommy night and vice versa and on the night we both go out the boys get to stay with one of their grandmothers (rotating). They get to do something special and we get a breather for a couple of hours.

I am lonely going to the grocery store by myself too!

I like taking the boys with me, they have so much fun in the "race car" cart that they are a blast!

We do not have any family close, and so time away from the boys is NOT a frequent thing for me. Which is fine with me also. We have a nanny we use when my hubbie and I want to get out together (we have only used her three times for couple time in 15 months, so we need to do that more). When I REALLY need time alone, I can ask my hubbie for some time on the weekends and he is pretty good about it now. Not so much when they were younger, but now it is quite fine!

I like taking the boys with me, they enjoy new surroundings and places so much! Anyone who wants to chat, please feel free to email!!! afarmer@wideopenwest.com
