3 + 5 = 8 (two year olds) + another 2 + 2 = 12 or (CRAZY!)

There really are times that I feel like I'm done, that's it I'm out of here.  Then I will think about my awesome friend Rachelle.  From the time we were in jr. high & highschcool I always looked up to her.  We were both on bed rest @ the same time. Sometimes I would talk to her on the phone to see how her contraction monitering was going as we used to have these moniters that had to hook up to us twice daily for an hour.  After the hour was up we would fax the results to the Matria nurses who were there 24 hours a day.  If we contracted more than 6 times we had to re-test for another hour.  If the contractions still persisted then to the hospital we went.  Good times!  Anyway Rachelle always had the best attitute and I thank her for all of her positive energy.  If only that came in a bottle.

Well Rachelle came to visit Arizona so we got all of the kids together.  Rachelle + Christina = octomom.  I know not really something I would like to be compared to but one must keep things light when you have lots of 2 year olds.  We went to Chick-fil-A for our little field trip.  I think the other moms there were bitter because we monopolized all of the highchairs.  I will never forget all of the looks we got.  I over heard somebody say that they thought we were on a daycare field trip, and I guess we kind of were.  I learned that Rachelle really is very organized, structured & is always prepared.  She busted out some shears to cut up the chicken into tiny pieces for all of the babes.  With the help of Mandy (my old nanny), our Moms & Jason (Rachelle's husband) I think it went off as a hit.
