Desperately Seeking....a vaca

I don't know what it is about when I come home but honestly all hell breaks loose and I find myself in the pantry whimpering..."I can't take it anymore"...is this normal? Lol...I'm thinking not?

Lucas is screaming from his crib because the 'opening of the door creak' wakes him...and he knows I'm home, so he screams bloody murder. Brooke runs straight for the pantry in hope that the next person on shift doesn't talk to the previous person on shift to find out if she already had 16 snacks! Then when I take Lucas down he wants a snack...and fast...and YOU HAVE TO READ HIS MIND! You pick something out and all he can say is "no"...he will honestly leave the room to find a corner, throw himself down, scream and cry...until he comes back,sees the next snack choice and then repeat -corner, throw down, cry-...

This is about the point I go and whimper....advice please?

I got nothing. I don't know how you do it. When I come home from work, I just want to sit in my quiet apartment.
Maybe just come home with two treats every day?

OMG, that is hysterical!!! I mean, I know it must be fraying your last nerve when you come home, but when you describe it, its really freaking funny.

This is why blogging is great -- you have to print this out and preserve it so the kids can know how FREAKING INSANE they were and how what SAINTS their parents are!!!

Re: Lukey, can you present like 3 snacks and let him pick one? Or maybe is it time for "time-outs" already so he learns not to throw a tantrum? Or is it too early?

Or maybe just bring him into the pantry and let him pick something off the shelf? No, wait. Inexperienced Mom speaking here. If you do that, he will pick the one thing he's not supposed to eat and then you will have to take it away and then TANTRUM........ see? I'm learning! :)

Ummm.....yeah, I came home early yesterday and it's exactly how Annette describes it. Lukey Duke's came down from his nap and immediately started looking up at the counters to see what kind of food was up there. Luckily Brooke and I decided on a couple tangerines, so he joined us. But he is definitely one funny little kid.....
Oh, in regards to advice - how about Turks & Caicos???? LOL
