Boulderbabe I agree - you have to have friends. I have the best friends EVER and without them I wouldn't stay somewhat sane

. They are willing to have most of the parties at my house - which allows me to stay on schedule - and keep in touch.
I don't know anything different so the "How do you do it" is irrelevent. I have FD 7, FS 3 and twin 9 month FSs. I work fulltime and they go to daycare. I just finished my Master's Degree so I now have an extra open night

.
Suggestions: schedule

, routine, frineds, cleaning lady, routine, friends, schedule

, did I say schedule

?
I do shop on my lunch hour. In summer I bring a cooler and in winter, I cover anything I don't want to freeze in the trunk, with a blanket.
