Wish me luck...

I am taking the boys to a Birthday party for the first time all by myself. I have to admit, I am a little nervous. Yes, there are people that I know, but they are not family.

So, this will be interesting. I will update everyone when I get back this evening.

good luck! I bet you'll have lots of willing arms to help!

 

Have fun

Have fun!

 

How did it go? Hope everything went well, but I'm sure you're tired!

How did it go?? There's always willing arms at birthday parties, first party I took the kids to myself I had someone I don't know (my best friend's preacher's wife), holding my daughter. Then my daughter puked on her (stupid reflux), so she switched to my son! :lol:

I hope it went great! It gets easier the more you do it! :hug:

 

How did it go?

 

Well, we got there and Jonathan waited a half hour before he had a complete meltdown. Thankfully, the hostess offered one of her bedrooms for me to lay the boys down. It was time for their third nap. I will be happy when they do not need 3 naps any more, but for now....it is fine. A poor lady who I have seen a few times asked to help me feed them. So, during burping, David had a wet burp right on her shoulder. I was so embarrased, but she said it was okay. I offered her Jonathan, but she wanted to keep going with David.

It was not bad and I am sure that it will get better the more I do it. So, I am thinking that I should leave the house every Saturday. DH is gone and it is not good for my soul or sanity to be cooped up in the house for 4 days.

Thank you for all the great karma.

congrats!!!! that's really great!

its always an adventure with twinfants!

 

Good job getting out! It really does get easier, even just go to the mall or walmart or something and go for a walk, it's the in/out of carseat/stroller that's the pain, everything else gets easier and easier!

 

Aw congratulations! There will be no stopping you now. I have been very slack on leaving the house alone this last month but like you say i must force myself out to help keep me sane.

 

I have just started getting out with just the kiddos. I have only gone to church functions or friends houses where I know people who can help me with the babies if they are both crying. Unfortunately they have started to get clingy and want only me.
