Hey Everyone! - A great big apology...
Heather wrote: Hi Guys! I know my posting here is so sporadic. I am sorry...I am still trying to adjust to 2 little ones. Alison is taking a nap with Daddy and Holly is napping as well, so I thought I would come on over to say hey! SO HEY!! I miss so much on here, I feel like an outsider. I am a moderator and I see I have been replaced...LOL  Just kidding.
We are doing well. I go back to work Sept. 3, I am dreading it BIG TIME! Jason and I have talked about me opening my own internet business so I can stay home more. Just got to figure out how to do at home work and be with my children. How do you Work-at-home-moms divide your time??
Holly is doing great. She goes for her 2 month next week. She will 2 months tomorrow. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Alison is getting right into the groove of being a big sister and I actually starting to get my own groove going...so things have gotten a little easier.
The sucky thing is my MIL and SIL are staying here...oh it is HELL On Earth!! They are rebuilding their house so they need a place to stay..TOTALLY mooching off us. It is driving me crazy. I can't stand it. I dont look at it as having at home child care becuase I do not trust them one bit. UGH...I don't like the situation at all.
So other than that...everything is going well. I never got the chance to show you Ali's birthday party pics either. We had a Dora the Explorer Fiesta. It turned out really well. We had a pinata and everything. Alison even pulled the right pinata string and won!! YAY!! So hard to believe she is 2 already.
I have tons of pics to show you all. I will be working on my website so I can show them all at once. I will be sure to post when I get them up!!
Okay I have gabbed way too much...

 Sorry to hear that your MIL & SIL are staying with you. I hate rude relatives like that! I hope your transition to work goes smoothly  !

In response to your WAHM question. Until K was 8 mos, I worked while she was nursing, sleeping and in the evenings and weekends when DH was home. When she started walking though, I ended up having to hire a sitter to come in and stay at the house with her so I could get stuff done.
She's now in a home daycare part time (3 days per week). I'm hoping that I'll be able to keep up the same schedule for work when the second baby comes. I'm guessing that I will be able too but I'm not deluding myself on the ease. LOL
I think the only way to WAH and have a toddler is to either have part time care or to never have any personal time and for your dh to be very involved and take over child care duties when he gets home so you can "go to work". I've done it both ways and I highly reccomend the part time care. :-)

coasterqueen replied: Hi Heather!!!! Glad to *see* you. Don't apologize . I have no idea how I'm going to handle two, lol. I just know I'll have to go to work so that will be the only time I will get to catch up, lol. I'm got Kylie dangling off my arm right now yelling "MOM". 
MommyToAshley replied: Hi Heather!
No need to apologize, I can imagine how hectic life gets with the two girls! And, no, you haven't been replaced as a mod, we just have double coverage in all the forums now.
The girls are beautiful... I love your siggy picture. I can't wait to see the rest of them.
Good luck with the WAH opportunity. I hope it works out for you. Cary pretty much summed it up. I work at night or during Ashley's naps, it's like having two full time job. I do answer the phone and emails during the day, and DH and I take turns watching Ashley depending who has the bigger work load.
So glad you checked in!

My thoughts exactally! Where do you have them done or do you do them yourself? They are absolutely gorgeous!
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Hi Heather! Glad you checked in! I'm not on here, much either. It is so much harder keeping up with two...I know exactly how you feel. The girls are gorgeous! Can't wait to see more pics. Check in when you can. I always like to hear how things are going.
