I need some answers
Little Dude, why have you suddenly decided that 6:30 is a great time to wake up? And why does that make you so cranky? We don't like being awakened in the pitch black early morning by shrieking. It's obviously not working for you either since you spend the rest of the morning whining and acting sleepy.
S-Boogie, why is going to the bathroom such a difficult thing to do? Why is it easier to just wait for hours and hours until you wet your pants? Why did I find the toilet full of pee this morning with no evidence of toilet paper? And why did you freak out when I asked you to go back and flush and wash your hands? I wasn't accusing you of a major crime, just a lack of basic hygiene.
Both of you, why does the fact that Mommy wants a little privacy in the bathroom or a few minutes to eat breakfast induce such angst? Why can't I just blow dry my hair or eat a bowl of cereal without two bawling children clinging to my leg?

Dear World,
One of the reasons that new moms can be a little, uhm, fluffy, is that sometimes you have to choose between exercising, or having your children SCREAM at you from beyond the gate while you're on the treadmill. So, I'm not sure when I'll drop those pounds, because 10 minutes of running through the screams isn't going to help anybody.
If it matters, I still love you! :-)
"Because Because Because"--it's the answer to all of life's questions. (I know this isn't any help at all. But it's the first thing that popped into my head when I read this plaintive post.)
If you have to ask, then you wouldn't understand even if I explained it.
Love,
S-Boogie
Upside: It takes about five minutes to read.
Downside: You might end up like me, wishing to share it with every mother in the world.
Look for it in the mail, direct from Amazon. :)
I've actually read that book and really like it. I was going to recommend it to you :) The kids actually do go to bed fairly early (between 7 and 7:30); I think the parents just need to go to bed earlier so we aren't so doggone tired every morning...
