Some days it feels like a job just to go anywhere. It takes me at least half an hour to get Drew and Gracie ready and out the door (on a good day). I think it is because I have to do everything three times ... once for myself, and once each for Drew and Gracie.
I am usually pretty good at getting them out of their PJs and dressed first thing in the morning (although Drew has been known to spend an entire day in his PJs on occasion if we're staying home), but I do have to make sure my hair has been combed before we go, and then work the tangles out of Gracie's hair. (Drew's hair is fairly short so I don't have to do anything there.) Then, I have to go to the bathroom. Then Gracie. Then Drew needs his diaper changed. Finally I put on my shoes and socks, Gracie's shoes and socks, and Drew's shoes and socks. I make sure Drew and Gracie have had last-minute drinks and that they won't get hungry while we're gone. I check Drew's diaper one last time, and make sure Gracie doesn't need to go potty again. Finally, feeling utterly exhausted, I am ready to buckle them in their carseats and go.
And I only have two children. How do moms with more than two do it? And how do they make it look so easy?
