Anya is in the hospital ...
Jeff here with some news.
Anya has pnemonia and is in the hospital. Tina is staying with her. It's not that bad, though -- she should be coming home soon. They're just keeping her for observation and respiratory therapy to help her get rid of her cough.
I'm at home taking care of Rachel and our Boston Terrier Archie, which is a full time job. I come home and I spend the whole evening managing both of them -- even with twins, Tina and I trade off on responsibilities, and the nights get easier. But alone, it's just me. No trade-off's.
Anyone who says single moms are asking for it, or have it easy should go ahead and piss off. I'd love to see those big, red-blooded manly men who are so critical of single mothers take care of twins, much less a single baby.
I've finally figured out how to get Rachel to give me an hour or so to wash her bottles and eat dinner -- I put her in her car seat with a choice of toys. She switches between the two choices and is relatively content. That's a trick I learned tonight -- it probably won't work tomorrow.
Okay, off to bed. Tina should be back soon ...

I hope she gets well soon!!

Glad it's not serious! I bet the girls miss each other like mad, without really knowing what that is. You know I don't envy single moms or dads. Warm thoughts to you and yours!
