My kids are out of control and I need your help. A couple weeks ago, we were cruising, life was smooth, I had control. Something has happened because what little control I thought I had is officially gone. I don't know how or where it went but it is gone. Let's take Taylor for example. I think something happens to a child's ears when they turn 4. They plug up or get filled with frosting from the birthday cake because I could tell Taylor that a monkey (1st thing that popped into my mind) was coming after her and was going to attack her and she needs to come to me NOW, and the minute that command would be issued, her ears would literally stop functioning. It would be as if I was talking to myself and I know I'm not that old. What age do they do hearing tests because I think that might be in order here. And then there are the twins, oh the joy of twins, everything comes times 2. They cry, scream, and throw tantrums ALL DAY. Sometimes Taylor thinks I really wanted triplets so she chimes into their crying nonsense. Seriously how much crying am I supposed to be able to listen to in one day??? I want to find a hole, bury myself inside, and come out when they are 18. On a positive note, they are cute and in between tantrums, they say and do cute things but seriously I must be doing something wrong because HOLY COW! So here is my proposition Super Nanny, we have a spare bedroom, I promise to make lots of chocolate cupcakes, PLEASE come to our home and help us rise out of this chaotic mess.
Thanks,
A worn out mother of 3
P.S. If anyone makes reference to the Don't Blink or You're Gonna Miss This songs, I may have to scream at you. =)

Tanya I feel your pain. I don't have 3 but the one 2 yr old who talks and thinks like she's 13 is enough for me right now. I've had very violent thoughts lately. Should I be committed? we could go together, one of those rich people places where it's like a vacation.
If I was there I would be your super nanny. I mean come on I would LOVE the proposition of chocolate cupcakes :)
I've been there...it will get better...you just have to hang in there! I watch the super nanny when I feel like I'm losing my grasp on things, and it helps me to refocus my discipline techniques--I've found that consistency is usually the key to success! Another important key is time away from them! Want to go to Hawaii in 4 months? ;)
On the plus side...all these "wonderful" things they do are part of their growing and learning to become responsible, independent adults...some day. In the meantime.. I will be there Monday to give you a break! Hang in my girl!
when all else fails...just get pregnant again! That is what I did...boy it works like a charm!!!!
HAHAHAHA
I am living the crazy and wonderful life right along with you!
Hope you get a break to refresh you!

They are too cute! Its just nice to know other peoples kids have hard times too- we love you guys!
Hey T,
Yes, it's hard. Kids these age sure have a mind of their own. They are these full-grown spirits in these teeny, tiny bodies. And here we are, supposed to have all the answers!
Super Nanny has some AMAZING ideas!! Stay strong, you're doing great.
There have been many times when I've called Randy and told him that he'd better get home quick or I'm going to beat his children...you're a good mom, hang in there!
Hi Jorgenson Clan! Tyler- this is Lindsay Snead- I've been meaning to take a trip over to your blog and check out you and your family- they couldn't be any cuter!!- wife included! SO fun to find your blog- I'll be checking in!! Tell your mom and dad hello from me!!
I'm actually really glad to hear that your twins are driving you crazy because my twins are so, so, SOOOOOO going to end up commiting me to a house for loonies! Just like yours, mine are cute in between the tantrums, but oh-golly-heaven-help-me when the crying starts! Oh boy, I'm heading off to bed...
