The under rated list

The “under” rated List

1. Diet coke for breakfast everyday

2. Stretchy maternity pants & shirts long after babies are out (never going back to button ups)

3. Letting your toddler stay home from one of his two days a week from preschool (that I look forward to)

4. Packing all three kids up in a car to go to Target for 3 things. (Load stroller, toddler & babies, pick up 1 infant, put in carrier, hold other infant while toddler pushes stroller, buy toddler present to keep him occupied and behaving well, bribe toddler with juice and popcorn to keep him happy while you feed both babies in car, let toddler pee beside car in public to avoid unloading car again, step in pee when strapping in infant in car seat, listen to infants cry the whole way home)

5. Sanity break as described in # 4 (Wait, that was the sanity break?)

6. Sending 82 year old great grandma home after her being here for over three months, even though she has two hands (I must be crazy)

7. Staying in pajamas all day, sometimes the same ones for two days

8. Clean (smelling) hair

9. When the whole house is silent at 3am & I can have some alone time, mostly asleep in comfy rocking chair waiting to feed a baby.

10. Having to rock both babies longer than usual to keep upright for reflux issues

11. The winner- when your babies purposefully smile at you, or make the most content sigh you have ever heard while they are in your arms.

Any more to add? I could use a good laugh?
