you sound like you got it down girl! Is it easier with two kids to distract each other? Its hard to make dinner when my husband is not home cause my kid is clinging ti my leg or crying from the gate if I gate the kitchen.

  Goofing around with my babies - Big and Lil

I'm almost in the same boat as yours Kelmcmom. But,I would say you at least have the luxury of sleeping till 8am. In my case my son is early to rise and is up usually by 5.30am or 6am in the morning. Even if I sleep at 1am or 2am, I have to still wake up by 6am. He wouldn't bother his father...only me:(
