-=- I also think we
should have at least one room in the house where they can touch
anything they want and not be told 'no, that's an ouch' or something

CHILDPROOFING!
If you don't have a childproof house, you've made your life way more
difficult than it needs to be.
<<but my husband wants to move so badly he won't agree to totally
rearrange the house with me ;)>>
Do it without him. At least get a couple of rooms safe.
<< I had a wonderful lady while I was pregnant with Crispin but she
couldn't work for $5 an hour for ever. She was such a good cook too!
There aren't a lot of people who can work for what I can pay. >>
Young teenagers might might work for $3 or $4. Forget expecting them to
cook, but to carry toddlers and play with kids, maybe yes!
<<If I could have someone sitting on my shoulder all day to just whisper "
you're doing
fine" I think I could do it. >>
Find little ways to do fine and you'll feel better. Calming is crucial.
Do you have comforting movies/videos/music?
If so, put some on NOW, not tomorrow, but go get it. Music can calm your
children and it can calm you.

<< There are days Crispin just cries all day long and I
have no idea why, look at his mouth, his butt, feel his tummy, take him
to the Chiropractor, let him lay in the middle of the floor and scream
and feel like a failure. >>

Use the library resources. It's Free! Our library is online so I can
reserve and just go in to pick up. Five minutes tops. If not online, could
you call and get them to pull a couple tapes or CDs?
