Screaming “YOU LITTLE SHITS” burns a lot of calories too

Off topic: guess who’s in Chicago now! I'm  trying to see if one day I can go by my uncle’s, probably on the weekend but if you’re down to meet up let me know.

False- as if a Parent has an hour long shower...

2 minutes into any shower the toilet has been flushed twice and the washing machine is running- a lso the dishwasher -a nd possibly a sprinkler or two..

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. It was Sicily, 1922.

There’s a better way to burn calories in the shower.

Shouting that i nternally does very little for me.

At a certain point,  you say F it and just enjoy the zen of a shower.  No screaming (that you can hear), no fighting (that you can see).  Its like one of those candy bar commercials from the 80s..

You don’t cry whenever you’re forced to exercise??

Just me huh; well at least now I can call it multitasking.

It really is the best of times, just overwhelming trying to still get work done during the day and juggling twins (2 years) and an infant (4 mos .).

Hey, congrats! And I’m sorry, I’m busy this weekend and possibly next. I’ll see though, a mini oppo meet would be fun!

Yikes. I was close, but our twins are the youngest.  We have 8 year old boys, then a 10 and 12 year old girl.  If we had twins first we would only have two kids.  Also, our marriage barely survived the first 8 months of the twins.

The first year is rough.

That’s my hope. I’m enough past what I wanna weigh that I’ll take any help I can get.

Once you realize that you won’t get work done while they are awake, it makes it a little easier.

I’m still able to get a fair amount done, but the Lion's share is definitely at night.

It will get better as they are able to help and actually help. But for now. Gotta role with it. Just have to enjoy them as they are. They can be so cool, and the next second it’s like “why did you do that?”

At least now my 3 boys are good enough I’m public that I can take them by myself.  Still can’t do all 4 though, but it gets easier, sometimes....

at one point i was getting Chinese for lunch twice a week and probably once for dinner. I limited the Chinese to once a week and started eating salads instead and running 3 times a week and dropped like 15 lbs in the first 2 weeks

try something like that. its gutta do something for you.

Running is out of the question due to knee and back issues. I do walk the dog when it’s not too hot for her.

I need to start swimming again, but the gym with a pool is the only one I don’t have access to at the base where I work. I need to start hitting the Y pool at some point.

Yeah - we have a 3 year old and a 2 month old. The first year is hell, after that it gets a lot better imho.
