It's rare to come across friends that are that amazing!
Oh that is a very good question. I couldn't do it if it weren't for the huge support system I have. My husband, parents, and grandparents. They are always there to catch me when I fall. My husband helps out a ton when he is home, so I got very lucky in that department. My parents, grandparents, and in-laws help with the kids, too, when I need a break. Just making sure to set aside time to be something other than a mom is a huge deal! Making sure I take care of myself (which is so hard when you have so many others to take care of!) is also a must, because I can't take care of anyone or anything else if I'm not taken care of. It's hard, I won't lie. Even with all the help I have there are still days that I would give anything to just crawl in bed and never get up. There are a lot of days that the t.v. is my baby-sitter... and sometimes I feel guilty for that, but, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!!
