By way of Ann's Rants.

"Either way, I'm too busy fishing poop out of the bathtub" - hilarious. You're right, kids are a crazy, loveable entourage. Great post.

This is a really good essay. Funny, so so true and sweet.

Surely there must be some guidelines? Don't get them wet? Don't keep them up past midnight? Something? Because 8 months is awfully close to walking and I could use some help.

Just stopping by from Ann's Rants Motherhood link up - this is such a lovely post and you are so right, I look at my three year old daughter and every day marvel at how quickly time goes by, knowing all too soon she will be grown and I will be wishing for these days where I am her world and she regards me as the perfect play mate to come back again.

Why there are not three million mothers nodding in dumbfounded comment agreement on this post???

Ha ha ha. This post rings true for me :O) I so love my darling demon spawn, too.

How did I miss this? Hilarious. So true and the way you write just makes it all that much better.

I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. So, so true!! I have a 3 y/o, a 2 y/o, and an 8 month old. So, I hear ya! The car situation is probably my least favorite, until they are all buckled, and then I can just drive and answer questions,(oh my gosh the questions) and they can't get into anything or cause any real trouble because they are strapped in. :) But it does take me 10 minutes to get all 3 of them into the car to go somewhere.

Phew...I have read your article all the way down and I found my self really enjoying your article.

I guess you are a real writer...?

Happy blogging,

Ahh, fishing poop out of the bathtub...glad it's not just me.

This was so beautiful, and I couldn't agree more. Wouldn't trade this moment of motherhood for anything in the world.

When you kids were little, we saw a bumper sticker "Insanity is contagious. You get it from your kids"
Seriously, Kate, you are an incredible writer and an incredible Mom. I'm so glad you have the ability to defuse anything with humour and that you are savoring and carrying every moment in your heart. Love you.

Beautiful, Kate. And so true.

To me there is nothing like freshly washed children and clean jammies and a snuggle before bed. And then after a day of crazy to see them sleeping so peacefully in their beds - that still gets me every time.

YOU. ARE. MY. HERO. Thank you for this post!!!!!!!

Seriously, are we the same person?? Are you spying on my household??? It's as if you wrote this about my life, except for the fact that I don't have twins, by my son is 3 and my daughter will be 2 next week....

I'm so glad to know someone else who goes through this as well... helps me feel a little less psycho! =)

With five kids all age 10 and under, I so feel this post. I, too, am always cold. What's up with that?
I think much of it depends on your kids. Like I said, I have five-four of them are boys-but none have been as "destructive" as my youngest. He's a beast, but man, I am here to be a mother, and I want to cherish every moment. I know when they're grown and gone I'll be so sad. I do want "me time" sometimes, but all day, every day? I'll take my little kids back, anytime!

I don't really want to tell ou this but just wait until those hormone years hit - yours and theirs. It is amazing how many times I will be sitting here perplexed by what is occurring and then that light bulb will go on over my head and I will think "Right. Teenage hormones."

2009-01-09T08:49:00.000-05:00

Kate, you're amazing. This is my life with 2 and I can't believe I'm about to go to 3. But you're right... it's SOOOOO worth it.

Dear Kate,

You are such an amazing writer and your blog never ceases to amaze me/crack me the hell up.

Love,

Lovely and perfect and true. It's such a reminder to take a deep breath and a minute. But, oh, the actual alone time shower. I miss that.

Fabulous post!

Luckily...I enjoy picking up toys and organizing them and I am teaching my daughter to do it too.

I'm truly living the dream!

Loved this post! I am going to print this and put it on my fridge (well, some place where I can see it since my fridge isn't magnetic, lol).

When I scrolled down and saw that 2nd picture, I seriously busted a gut laughing. That was SO great. Such a resemblance to the cute creature, yet so... scary... so, so, demonic. It was perfect.

2009-01-08T22:27:00.000-05:00

Crazy gremlins that they are I too wouldn't trade mine for anything in the world.

I can't even imagine what its like with three, one can push me over the edge at any time. You truly deserve a medal.

2009-01-08T22:23:00.000-05:00

I agree 100%. I sometimes feel sorry for myself but I realize once again that I love being a mother, I love this fleeting time, and I wouldn't trade it for so many things that I am sacrificing!

2009-01-08T22:07:00.000-05:00

I was just telling my mother the other day that I feel like I live with three crazy people. She told me she doesn't remember my sister and I ever acting like that. So I guess we remember the good and not the bad.

:-)

I try to remind myself how much I already miss the little babies that kept me up all night. I know I will miss the crazy people one day too. At least I have adolescence to look forward to.

Great post!
