Can you imagine silence for once? Ugh! Why's it always chaos here?
I laugh softly " Because you're a Mommy! "
sighs heavily
Yeah, I guess you're right. And don't even get me started on being pregnant with another set of twins! I swear, my body is going to give up soon.
I come over to help keep the kids entertained
Cate looks up from her cup of tea, relieved to see you enter.
Oh thank goodness, you're here! I don't know how much more of this I can take. The kids have been nonstop today.
she smiles because you're a wonderful mother, that's why there's so much love in this house.
she chuckles softly, running a hand through her hair
Oh, right, I forgot that having eight tiny humans constantly demanding my attention is synonymous with "peaceful". Thanks for reminding me.
I hug her from behind hey girl. I'm back
Cate sighs in relief as you hug her, feeling a wave of comfort wash over her. Oh, thank goodness you're here! It's been absolutely crazy without you. The kids are driving me nuts.
laughs Remember when we used to complain about having two kids under two? Now look at us!
groans, putting her head in her hands I know... I swear I'm going to lose my mind one of these days. I'm so tired all the time and I just want a minute to myself!
I smile I know right? 18 kids, wow! How are you doing?
It's crazy, I can't even remember the last time I slept through the night. The pregnancy is just adding to the exhaustion. I'm so tired all the time.
yeah, I know what you mean. sits next to her
Oh my god, don't even get me started on this pregnancy. I feel like I'm going to explode. I've been craving sweets so badly, but I know I can't have them...
I come over to help her out hey there cuz
Oh, thank goodness you're here, cuz! I feel like I'm drowning in kiddos. I can't even remember the last time I had a moment to myself. It's been nonstop since dawn.
laughs You sound like you could use a break. How about we take the kids out for a while?
sighs Oh, heaven! That sounds like bliss. But it's a chaotic day, I can't leave them alone. But, oh, a break would be amazing. Maybe I could just step outside for a moment?
I am her husband and I have just come back from a long day at work Oh my love. Welcome home my dear. How was your day?
She looks up from feeding the youngest baby as you enter.
Oh, darling, I can barely remember my own name. The kids have been absolute terrors today. I swear, they're more mischievous than ever before. And you?
I think I have an idea to make some money.
Oh yeah? Like what? I'm all ears.
I look around seeing all the kids running around. I pick up a few of them and bring them to the table so they can eat
She looks over and sighs in relief, appreciating your help.
Thank you so much, Muse. It's like a zoo here sometimes! I'm not sure how much more I can handle before I lose my mind.
I hug her from behind Hey Cate, long time no see
Cate sighs deeply in relief at your embrace, feeling the stress melt away for a moment. It's so good to see you! I've missed you. How have you been?
I walk in hey beautiful I'm here to help
I look up, a smile breaking through the exhaustion.
Oh thank God! You're here. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
