I'm scared. I don't reallllly miss the rat race. Bigger problem with analyzing and grappling over: Would I rather care for my babies 24-7 vs. or am I just a work slacker????....is M wants to leave the work force and stay at home too.
That won't work. Let's do the math: 2sahm+2babies+1mortgage+lifeexpenses=nofuckinway.
So uh we got so more talking to do. M loves it when I hash everything over and over to death. This should be fun.
Our drive to Charlotte was not as tortuous as we expected. Since the little guy screams when he's in the car seat- we decided to feed, change and put them in bed in their car seats and leave NYC at 8:30 p.m. After 80 cups of coffee you too can drive thru to Texas or something. There was one strange coffee/bathroom break at 4 am in the middle of North Carolina. Some scary peeps gambling and bugs flying around. Whatever. We did not stop there on our way back in the middle of the freaking night.
I have failed to get these children on a real schedule. If they nap at the same time it's a lucky accident. Gotta work on that...stat.

It's hard when you both want to stay home.I'm sure lots of lesbian couples battle with that one.
Maybe you could make up for your partner not being there by video taping or taking lots of photos.
oh my gosh, they are gorgeous children! Aren't those smiles worth all the moments of frustration. I wish you had more time to process your dilemmas in your blog. More on the trip! The real stuff.

PS Do you miss work at all?
They are getting so big! And believe me they WILL get on a schedule. It just takes time. It will happen.
But the stay at home vs. work thing is huge. For s it was a practical decision: Nicole makes a lot more$ than me s she works and I stay here. But that doesn't mean we both don't have our moments of wanting to change roles. Life can never be simple.
I want to pinch those chubby cheeks. In a good way!
Your children are really beautiful. And take it from this twin mom who felt like a schedule would never come also...one day it just will. Good luck!
