This Tired Mom's Tip #187...
Multitask!
Talk on the phone while you're doing the dishes....
... or let the puppies out to pee while hanging out laundry...
... or give your daughter the wipey container to "bathe" herself while you're vacuuming the floor...
...or, one of my favorites - the 3 R's - accomplished in the "throne room"...
1. Reading - book, magazine, bible, newspaper
2. Relief - lock the kiddos out while you tend to private matters
2. Relaxation - the alone mommy time is so, so important.... don't worry, you'll get used to their knocking and incessant "MOM! MOM! MOOOM!"
(... either that, or they'll eventually give up and walk away.)
And, if you're like me, you detest bath time with 3 messy, noisy girls and do not thoroughly enjoy the whole hair-drying business. I, however, have come up with a perfectly perfect solution!!!
Dry your kids *with* their laundry! Go on! Just throw 'em in there! They come out so soft and smooth and they smell heavenly! Not to mention how much money you'll save by not having to run that pesky hair dryer!
