Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Having toddlers, teens, and a twenty-something sister puts me through an interesting wringer, so to speak. My sister, who lives in Taiwan, was visiting for a few weeks recently. We stayed up to 1:00 am (on average) each evening. However, I had to get up and resume normal motherhood and wife duties each subsequent morning. This is in the midst of reading to and bathing toddlers, while watching favorite movies with my teenage sons and giving needed attention to those of age in between toddlerhood and twenty-something. Certainly dh was sitting on the couch with that trademark "twinkle" (kwim?) in his eyes...LOL! I wonder if Elasti-Girl, from the Disney movie The Incredibles, ever got tired. Grin. My hat goes off to you all who are living similar circumstances :o) Blessings, Camy (who prays that I will get a bit more flexible and not break in the process of this rich and blessed life) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 LOL! I'm sure she did get tired! Once your sister goes home you deserve a bubble bath and a chance to go to bed early or to sleep in late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 ITA, Jean! LOL! Actually, I have that backwards....I am staying up late and getting up early. Someday this will all be a science, I hope :o). Blessings, Camy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Certainly dh was sitting on the couch with that trademark "twinkle" (kwim?) in his eyes...LOL! Heehee. Your "twinkle" made me smile. When my brothers and I were little, and asked our dad where we (babies) came from, he'd answer that we "came from a twinkle in our mother's eye." Or, he'd say that such-and-such happened before I "was even a twinkle in my mother's eye." I kwym about the elasti-girl feeling. I love that scene in the movie when they're sitting at the kitchen table, and she has one kid in each hand, under the table, and she yells something like, "Bob! I think we need some intervention here!" :D I feel like that frequently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 That notorious twinkle...LOL...thanks for sharing, Suzanne :o) I think The Incredibles is one of my very favorite movies. Funny that you could actually quote it. Blessings, Camy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
