By the way, how do you manage your three when your husband is away? Mine
is
leaving tomorrow for three days for a conference and I am afraid I am
going
to go stark, staring mad. Any advice?


Narcotics? For you or for them... either way you want to do it *grin*

ROFL!

Like Brigitte, I think I dread bedtime the most. I *so* rely on my husband
to read the older two their bedtime story while I put the 2yo down. When I
have to do it all myself, it is hell. Narcotics is not a bad idea, actually.
Maybe they'd skip the bedtime story if they were sufficiently drugged...

You know, we gave up bedtime stories. They just
complicated the bedtime process too much. I figure there
are many times of the day to read to children, most of
which work out better for us than bedtime ;-) Putting
the kids down now is just tell them to brush their teeth
and get their pjs on, hop in bed, kiss them goodnight
(and then I go nurse the baby and she's down).

Best wishes,
