Re: Coby's surgery & Moms' whinning

March 8, 2005

le,

Boy, I can understand that feeling of drowning, as most of us can.

You have every right to whine. These things are very tough to deal

with, and it's not fair! Even though n is 4 1/2 now, I still

look around sometimes at other kids with that hint of jealousy

because their parents just have it so easy.

I know this is too late for you since surgery is tomorrow, but what

my doctors have done is combine surgeries whenever possible. n

had ear tubes done the same time as hypospadius surgery.]

something to think about, especially with these surgeries that

aren't urgent.

Good luck tomorrow and take care. We're all here to lift you up to

get a little air, and some sleep would help too!

le,

Go ahead and whine - this is the place to do it. I understand what

you are going through, we all do (although not everyone gets the

twin thing lol).

It is perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed. Is there any way you

can get someone to help you? Maybe someone to watch Carlee while

you take Coby to the appointments? Then when you come back, do

something with Carlee and leave Coby with a sitter?

Also, can you find a little while to pamper yourself? Leave the

kids (and the husband) home and go for a massage or get your nails

done or (and I hate to admmit having done this ), but I

occassionaly go to the local ice cream place without the kids. I

bring a good book and actually get to enjoy a small ice cream by

myself! Of course, I am supposed to be on a diet so that one isn't

the greatest of ideas, but what can you do.

Hang in there,

Judith, Steve, (RSS) and (non RSS) 5 year old twins

BTW, the twin thing does get easier when they get bigger
