I'm so tightly wound now that I feel like I'll lose it if anyone even touches me. I took the kids to the History Center for the Little Locavores event and it was cool and kind of fun. Or it would have been if my kids didn't spend the whole time fighting, whining, screaming, and kicking things. I think I spent a fair portion of my time there quietly ( Read more... )

I am sorry you were having a hard time at the museum. I didn't realize but I totally know how it is.

I hope you have fun tonight. I've heard the trivia there is really hard!

Asking for what you need really has to be done. No one can give you what you need if you don't ask for. (I think i just found my new affirmation I was supposed to bring to therapy this week. Sorry. aam)

The trivia was challenging, but it was a good thing - nice to feel those gears turning again. I think I blew off enough steam to be able to function well-ish for a few days.

I do make a practice of asking for what I need, but sometimes I can't figure out what I need or who to ask. I can't in good conscience ask people to take both of my kids - they get along like gasoline and matches, to quote my father-in-law.

I am here if you ever, ever need child care. I will watch your kiddos for free. Jack is here during the day, and I am here at in the evening/night. Either one of us will watch your kids. I know we have never hung out a lot, but if you need it, please don't ever hesitate to call -- 612.203.5685. My work number is 651.603.2036.

Leave a message if I don't answer, I don't always answer if I don't recognise the number.

THank you for the offer - I will seriously consider it. I just hate to ask people to take my kids because they are WILD. My father-in-law says they get along like gasoline and matches. He's right.

It's fine. No matter how wild they are. Zoe is really intense herself and we have a big house and yard. I would love to take them. Really!!! Please don't hesitate to call any time. Day or night. I know what it's like to need a break so badly that you almost do something youvwould really regret. I've been there more times than I care to count
