It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

With a little help, I could be super mom!

This week is interesting for me. For the first time since becoming a mom, I have actually blocks of time every day to myself. Also, we have a teen girl helping us out with some baby sitting.

It is weird what a little extra alone time has done. My home in neater. My meals are planned. Groceries are purchased fresh daily. A few more days like this, and I may even be on top of my laundry!

It is odd because I can't actually point out what I am doing differently, and between drop offs and pick ups I really only have an hour or two to myself. In that time I am reading, eating breakfast, showering, and getting groceries.

The teen babysitter is a help. She picks up Daughter from her dance camp (since it ends at the same time as the boys' ROM camp downtown, and I haven't figured out how to be two places at once), and walks her home. She then entertains the kids for an hour or so while I clean up after lunch. That's it! And yet my home is neater, meals are homemade and healthy...

I guess all I really need is an hour or two extra each day and I could be super mom!
