OK as my previous post read, I have been continuously interrupted by the babies and unable to workout longer than 15 minutes when the workout time I need is 35 for just the start up DVD for power 90 (it will soon add 10 more minutes on the next phase) and then another 10 for the ab work out...I feel like I will be a blubbery heifer for the rest of time at this rate...:(
In desperation I texted Neil to see when he would be home and he said he was on his way....I don't know what "broke the camels back" but of course both babies were losin it...Taiven was helping quiet Sawyer and I set Skye up in the highchair...(thank god for Taiven) i had a sink full of dishes I had to get done before they crusted over from dinner before I could work out, and I just started to sobb, uncontrollably...like snot and tears dripping from my face and wouldn't you know it...Neil walks in and I couldn't stop...he desperately kept asking what is wrong...I couldn't speak...after I gained some ability to talk I just started spilling "I never have a effin minute to myself, I can't get anything done, and they won't stop crying for more than five seconds!" he quickly packs up the kids and takes them all on a walk (mind you it is nearing 9pm) but he saw how desperate I was for a break...he asked if an hour was enough time for me to have some time...and that seems like a whole day at this point so I gratfully said yes...
I am sure many more of these are to come, but it happens to the best of us :bag

thanks ladies, what would I do without your support:) I was able to actually finish my workout in peace!...and the best part is Neil and Taiven both got to exercise by walking the babies for an hour...then I had some time on SCM with NAKing!!!!!!! and I feel so much better...and next I get to take a shower!!! I needs to rinse off all the sweat from the workout, after he gets out it's my turn hehehe

Oh no reply is an automatic green light in my house!!
Seasyn, I am glad you are feeling better. I have been there, crying uncontrollably so much that dh thinks something HORRIBLE has happened, but not being able to explain... gawd I am glad that is in the past. And that was just with 1 crying baby. You are doing great, and it will get easier!!!

thanks gals...I think Neil now knows that this needs to be a more regular thing...and I hope he takes the initative (sp?) and makes it a habbit if he wants me to have time to work out...
and Venessa you are too funny with your super hero talk hehe

I am so happy you got a much needed break.. I'm impressed at Neil's quick intuition. I probably would end up turning into a lion, having to spell it out that I need a break. The other day I kept texting that I needed a "private" bathroom break.. I got so mad when he didn't respond (DH is often in the crevaces if our garage working).. I ended up taking Sophia attached to the boob into the bathroom.. DH shows up 10 min. later.. wondering why I've got the evil attitude going... he had no idea as he left the phone outside by the grill... grrr
