I have been for the most part since my youngest was born, without help. I say most because I do have some help in the form of my MIL. But she doesn’t live with me. So, what happens is that every morning, on his way to work, Gnat will drop Ash off at his mom’s and Ash will spend the day with them. I’ll wait till Gnat comes home, and the 3 of us will go have dinner and pick Ash up.

I agree, it’s not the brightest solution because we are all exhausted from this back and forth game. It was the only solution for us. ANd probably still is until the time…I don’t know when but just when it reaches a point where I feel I am strong enough both mentally and physically yo handle both. I honestly feel terrible for Ash and Em, they’ve had to endure all these traveling and unsettled routine for the past couple of months. Not to mention, poorly regulated diet.

However, all is about to change. We’ve finally succumbed and went looking for hired help. True, I am elated. But, that’s only partial because I’ve heard too many unwanted stories about these helpers and the fact that we will have a stranger living with us. The good thing is that we will be able to try her out for a month before deciding on a permanent employment and get all the paper work done up. Right now, she’s contracted to us by the agent. Plus, we met her last weekend, she seems pleasant. So, I’m hoping that with this arrangement, we’ll get temporary help around the house like someone to make sure our laundry gets done, the kitchen sinksare cleaned..etc..till the girls are a little older.

Lets see…
