It only took 16 months for me to do it on my own!

Today I dropped off Wilson (our 9lb Poodle-****zu mix) at the groomers with both girls in tow. I know a lot of you are brave twin mommies who go out all the time with your twins by yourself, but I'm not normally that way. He goes every 6 weeks and this is the 1st time since the twins were born that I wasn't able to work out a sitter to watch the girls so I could take him and then run errands. Anyway, we made it and it wasn't so bad. I think we were in and out in 20 minutes. Isn't it funny how 2 little beings can cause their own mother to be so nervous?? Just wanted to share my "accomplishment." Thanks for listening!

Marcy- it gets easier once you get a routine down! You should do it more often! Way to go though!

 

It does get easier. Congrats on your first time!

 

YAYYYYYY!! Like the Previos post said it does get easier and soon you will be a PRO at it.

 

Glad to hear you survived Now you're going to get brave!!!

I too am nervous about taking them out. I will often dream of fun great things that we can do alone, however, when it comes down to it, I'm either exhausted just thinking about getting to and from, or, I come up with reasons to stay home. I keep telling myself that when they are potty trained, I will do it! I often feel stuck at home!

 

Just for that reason, we started using a grooming service that comes to your house. They are double what we'd pay bringing our dog to a groomer, but it was worth it (we have a 100lb rottweiler and I think I'd have a hard time bringing him dragging his paws and the girls into the groomer). I just cancelled our service (part of my crack down on expenses now that I went part time) and we are going to start taking him again.

 

Yeah Don't feel alone! I'm still scared to take the boys out by myself too!

 

Marcy GO GIRL!! You are now free to move about the City!!! Keep it up and you'll get the hang of it!!

(FWIW - I hate taking my kids with me to drop the dog off. He's SO stressed that it makes it harder on me and to have them there just compounds the problem!)
