A week with Grandma


My mom went home to Seattle today after a week of helping me chase after my children. It's amazing how an extra set of hands can make all the difference. Whether she was hauling one or another of them to and from the car, or catching Jordan unrolling an entire roll of toilet paper, or just holding the baby so I could have a shower, she was exactly what I needed! As we were getting ready to head to the airport, both Jordan and Josh decided to have simulaneous meltdowns. I looked at mom with tears in my eyes and exclaimed, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" I was only joking a little.... Fortunately, Darrin managed to come home early from a basketball event and he became my extra set of hands as we wrangled them all into bed!
