Chaos. This is my life now. Sometimes it's a good chaos with my toddler laughing loudly and the twins being alert but happy. However it's not usually that sweet. Here's a quick example from Monday morning. I woke up right before my husband was leaving for work (he usually gets up with the toddler so I can grab an extra half hour of sleep since I'm up more frequently at night with the twins)... and the rush was on! I had to get my toddler fed and dressed and get the twins fed in time before I had to get everone loaded up in the van to take the Bean to preschool. I was pumping breastmilk for the twins while feeding my toddler cereal all while trying to keep one of the twins from screaming her head off while the other twin slept peacefully in the swing. I don't just have 2 or 3 things happening at once. I have 47 things happening at once.
I don't think this is anything extraordinary. It's just the life of any mother. Every mother. It just seems magnified or multiplied exponentially right now because I'm dealing with 3 kids under the age of 3. Things will settle down. Eventually. Right?
