Keeping it simple...and easy!

Wow...
I actually feel refreshed, energised and dare I say less burned out???
Yesterday I got to hang out with one of the twins while daddy took the other one out for some errands...
No fighting.
No bitting.
No scratching.
No yelling.
No whinning.
No tantrums.
Pure bliss!
My son and I watched some old school sesame street togethor, folded some laundry and just spent some time togethor.
A couple of things popped up in my head;
The first; I did not feel guilty for not "doing" something with my son. I just enjoyed the moment. We cuddled, we watched a dvd togethor, we shared a simple task of folding laundry (well he kinda just watched...!) side by side.
The second;
The kids need a break from each other...regurlarly.
My husband and I have always tried to do individual activities on the week-ends...we have done it 3 times.
Our next family goal is to keep it simple on week-ends and go our seperate ways.
We need it.the boys need it.IT IS NEEDED ASAP!!!
As a mother of twins I am so used to being with both of them all the time that I actually experience anxiety when they are not both with me...
What I came to realize this week-end is that when we are all togethor I experienced anxiety anyway as the boys fight, the stress levels rise and BAM! Everyone is miserable and fighting anyway!
Keeping it simple=Keeping sane!!!
