    I'm feeling aweful today! I woke up with a sore throat, I'm stuffed up, and I have the chills. Taking care of twins non-stop while feeling this way is SO hard. I don't have family nearby to help me. Any tips on how to survive this time? Thanks

    Feed them, change their diapers... and if they like it, put them in the swing and go lie down.

    Do what you can, leave the house be, order take-out for dinner, and when they sleep, you sleep. Feel better!! :hug:

    Drink as much water as you can. Put them down as much as they will let you so you get a sort of break. Swings, bouncies, play mats, whatever you have that will keep them happy while you get a moment or two of peace and quiet.

    I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

    Tylenol, tea, lots of fluids in general. Try to sleep, a joke I realize. We have all been there and you WILL survive! (Wait until you are puking at the same time as your kids, ugh...) :hug:

    If they are wanting attention put a big pillow on the floor and just lie by them - that way you're not exerting as much energy but still playing with them.

    :hug: I hope you feel better soon.
