Answer #1

do what I do. right after they are asleep. take a magazine or book and fill up the tub. soak and read for about and hour. it will calm you down a lot. and keep in mind, two more years and they will all be in school!

Answer #2

Find some nearby moms that would do the same favor so you can take turns babysitting the kids.

Answer #3

They are 5 years 4 years and 2 are 3 years they are twins

Answer #4

how old are your children?

Answer #5

Check craigslist for a babysitter or someone who wants to do a nanny share or something. In this economy, there are a lot of people without jobs who would give anything to give your children some loving attention while you take a break. Even if that means you have to pay a little bit. For that many children and based on their ages, you are looking at a minimum of 10/hr. But if you are only looking for a few hours say once a week or so, 30/week isn’t so bad to have some time to yourself, is it?
