is hard. I've had the kids for brief stints on my own, to sort of test the waters. But today is my first almost full day (hubby left 2 hrs late for work to help w/Breakfast)...and it's going FINE. BUT it is a lot of work!
BabyT wants to lay in the pack&play w/the baby, so I'm forever having to chase him out of it. When I feed the baby, he's usually pretty good, but occaisionally gets into something (like the wipes container) and makes a small mess. Also, they both seem to get hungry at the same time, which presents a problem as I only have 2 hands (and each child takes 2 hands to feed, unless I allow BabyT free reign of his lunch, which = MESS!)....
But it's going...they're both napping right now, and instead of napping myself (I KNOW) I need to go fold laundry!

I know this is a little late...my 2 kids kept me away from reading blogs all week. But I completely understand what you're going through. My oldest just turned 2 late last month and my youngest is 4 months today. For the last 4 months, I've been "zombie mommy", using sheer will (and lots of coffee) to face each morning of whining tantruming toddler and always hungry babe. Thankfully, W stays out of trouble while I nurse, though she does have this annoying habit of whining at me for a drink the moment J latches on. *sigh* I've gotten in the habit of putting a sippy and a snack on her table near my rocking chair, so when she starts, I can point them out to her. Good luck...just remember...you're not alone!
