• About:

    I swore I would never drive a minivan, so I went through a bit of an identity crisis when we finally broke down and bought one. But now I've decided to get over myself, and fully embrace my life as a suburban, minivan-driving, Mommy Blogger. Since my family rocks, and my family and the minivan are a package deal, I am hereby declaring that My Minivan Rocks!

    This blog is about so much more than my minivan; It's about the three beautiful kids who fill the carseats in my minivan. Christian and I were married in May 2003. After fertility treatments, our son Noah was born to us in January 2006. Our daughter Zoe was born in November 2006 in Phu Tho, Vietnam, and came home when she was four-months-old. Colin is our baby boy. He was born in July 2008 and came home when he was two-days-old through domestic adoption.

    We never planned to have our children THIS close together (we are probably the only people on the planet who can say they had two adoptions happen more quickly than expected), but we are enjoying our crazy new life!

Mommy drinks because you cry

Posted on July 6, 2009 by Tracy @ My Minivan Rocks!

I’ve tried to explain to my children that they are only allowed to cry one at a time, but they just don’t seem to understand.

This is what happens when they miss their naps.

      Oh you have to watch the video for the full effect. I was laughing while I was filming it. I figured I had to find the humor in the situation or I would end up crying too!

        Ok, I watched. I feared flashback horrors, but was laughing too hard to even work up a good shudder. Tell Noah his anguish would be much more believable if he didn’t stop to mug for the camera. LOL

    I watched the video (I have no idea why, since I have similar situations in my home almost daily..) but it made me smile b/c I can sooo relate. I had to laugh when Noah completely stopped at the beginning to look at the camera for a minute! Now if you could only get the dogs to howl along like mine sometimes do at my house…

    I’m with Bev- think I need a drink after watching that video. I just had to laugh- Noah sounded like he had been possessed. Yikes! I did have to give it a 5 star rating- it’s a classic already.

    I should send you a case of wine. Or at least lots of chocolate….just for surviving this.

    Watched the video. Sounds like they are being tortured, but I guess YOU are the only one that is truly being tortured.

    If you ever figure out how to get that point across let me know….I have tried to tell them one at a time as well and NO luck.

    And I thought my kids were the only ones who did that, naps or no naps! Both of our kids are watching this video. Logan said, “Wow they are loud!” And Ava said, “She crying?”.
    Too funny! I agree, you need a “mommy drink”!
