thanks, ladies.

no, no babysitter, other than my MIL occasionally. but I do go to the gym during the week and the kids go to the playroom there, and then greg comes during the week 1x or 2x, then takes them on the weekends, don't forget. and now that the twins are in preschool 2 mornings a week, I have 2 hours 2x a week on my own as well. one I use for therapy, one I use for my own free time....usually something useful. think I need to schedule something a little decadent this week, maybe splurge for a facial. maybe that will help my out of my frumpy funk. but the point is, I get plenty of me time, without a sitter.

today my MIL and her boyfriend are coming over. we're going to a farm to pick pumpkins. will probably have them stay with the kids while I do some errands on my own...just a little space for myself. will be useful, probably the grocery store...but that's pretty decadent, going on my own, instead of with 3 kids. lol

off to make some apple bread. we picked a ton of apples yesterday, far more than we'll ever be able to eat, so think I'm going to bake up some bread, some muffins (those will be good to send in S5's snack bag for school snacks, might make a ton and freeze them so they'll keep), and the kids are voting for more apple crisp.
