There's some internal mechanism that feels that things are a little too put together so they subconsciously stir things up at just that PRECISE moment.<br /><br />And the dog.

And that's all it is. Chaotic sometimes, but at the end of the day, everybody's fine (mostly.) <br /><br />I'm sorry I haven't made time to comment lately; I am amazed that you are finding time to still blog. (!) But I have been keeping an eye on you, and am glad you are doing so well.

We get that with just the one child. <br /><br />It may help a little, but I found that our evenings are a lot smoother when I lock up the dogs before Matt gets home. I let them out again when everything calms down, but that way Matt can put his full attention on Elizabeth and there aren't two barking, excited dogs running around. It made the evenings MUCH calmer. The dogs didn't like it though. (They are used to it now.)HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.com
