Hi. Just reaching out to tell the world I'm here. I put the girls down for their first nap a half hour ago and, as it's the first day of a new week, of course we're trying yet another response to nap time. This week it appears we'll be fighting it again. Half hour so far. The talking has become whining and is about to become big tears.
Nap time is when I recharge. If they don't take naps, I drain quickly. There are very few people I can call for help, and those I can call already know how I feel about visits during the day - that I welcome them. If no one stops I can only assume that they're too busy or not interested. Calling to ask for a visit seems a bit too much. If they wanted to be here they'd be here and all that.
And there it is. Big tears are starting. If you've never stayed home all day with a baby you have no idea how the first squeal can send you into a full-on panic attack. Now double the squeals and realize that you're going to be absolutely alone with these two cranky pants' for the next ten hours.
I really don't want to be that whiny "oh, my life is so hard" mom. But if there are any other stay at home moms, moms of twins, or anyone in general who can give me some solid tips on how to maintain my composure (not to mention my sanity) when I feel my resolve crumbling this early in a very, very long week, I'd appreciate it so much.
