    I know!
    And it will look so funny because I am only 5 feet tall with a small frame.

    But, I can definitely say that after this - we are done with kids!

    Yippee!
    My SIL made me the Aunt of twins, and she's 5 feet also.

    Blessed be, and I don't know if organization is an issue for you, but if I was expecting twins, I'd go straight to Flylady.net for steps to getting my life as organized and routineized as possible. Of course, I need that even with out twins!

    We talked about getting organized last night!

    So far our plan is to:

    1. Get one of those hanging sweater holder things and put out my son's clothing for the week every Sunday.
    2. Doing a weekly menu - that way I only have to go to the store once a week and will know exactly what I need to get.
    3. Get an organizer for our mail (paper is our big problem)

    Next, its nanny hunting!!
    Hopefully I will be able to work from home full time - at least for a while, and be here with the nanny. It definitely helps with our decision to homeschool though smile

    I am doing the weekly menus, and it has really eliminated my last minute before dinner runs to the local grocer for things like sour cream or chives. Still can't handle the paper though...

    LOL and congrats!

    I love the idea of getting your son's clothing picked out on Sunday - LOL - you could do the same for yourself!

    Weekly Menus are terrific -
    I also do a lot of "bag and season the meat" and into the freezer on shopping day.

    Crock Pot cooking is fun if you are around "enough." Is your son a picky eater? I never "forced" mine to "try bites" of stuff - mostly because I wasn't cooking "real meals" at the time. I kind of wish I had. I think that "You will eat what is on your plate" sends a basic "The adults are the ones in charge here" message that is worth sending. OTOH I think it depends on the child - that approach is way too much for some. Best thing is to try your best and then reproach yourself later - ((wink - joking about the reproach later))
