First of all, I don't think I've craved a drink more or used the Eff Word more until I had triplets.

No. I'm kidding! (Kinda) But, really. The days can be challenging and you know when they're extra challenging?

When the kids are bored.

There are days when my girls play like angels and I can go about my day knocking out some laundry and other chores.

And then there are those days when I'm constantly breaking up a fight, redirecting or making mac n cheese.

One thing that's helped: pre-school. And not for just the break it affords me, but rather they're ready for school; learning, being with other kids and other adults and enjoying other experiences.

And the other thing that's helped is if I take some time to sit on the floor and play with them, whether it's coloring, doing a puzzle, playing with their dollhouse or playing a v-tech game, this makes them happy and then I can slowly back away and leave them alone while I go back to my projects.

Lastly, it's not earth shattering advice, but the more positive I am, the nicer and more positive they are. If they see me going bonkers about something, they feed off of that and then I suddenly have 3 mini-mes going nuts.

Not sure I gave any great ideas, but wanted to let you know, you're not alone.
