Thanks so much for all the messages. It is so nice to talk to adults. I guess after two and a half years of lost sleep, dirty diapers and a messy house everything is just getting to me. I'm so exhausted the past two weeks, i can barely function. I guess what gets to me most is everytime I try to do anything ( post, balance the checkbook, relax) the kids are under my feet screaming for attention. Does anyone else feel the same way? When does it get easier? How much attention for my kids is enough?

Yes, I feel the same way most days, I was doing SOO god with cleaning and organizing and now i'm in the first trimester of my pregnancy and really don't have the energy anymore to do all that! O well.... It got easier for me just recently, my son will play a lot by himself, and doesn't bother me too much. He's 2 and a half. i'm not too sure about the attention thing, If I'm cleaning or cooking or something, I will keep checking up on him and sit with him and read a book or play with his blocks with him for a few minutes, then get back to work. Hope this helps!
