[quote=Anonymous]I had 2 under 2 and can completely relate.  I remember someone asking me what I my hobbies were and giving them a blank stare because I couldn't even remember what kinds of things I liked to do.  Things that helped me:
- finding a gym with childcare so I could get a little time for myself regularly with minimal planning and expense (compared to sitters)
- play dates with kids classmates --- you'll realize everyone is battling the same stuff and it makes it easier
- friends visiting me - ask your friends if they can come to you for coffee instead of you dragging two kids out for brunch.  Or meet at a park.  Have them meet you in the middle instead of trying to do what you did in your pre-kid life... it's just too stressful when kids are that young to drag them to restuarants

I will say it gets easier.  Mine are 2.5 and 4 now and the kids are in such a dad phase that it's much easier for me to sneak away for a break.  And they're more independent and everything is just so much easier than it was 2 years ago.  Hang in there.[/quote]
