00:00day two of surviving taking care of my two-year-old quadruplets and five-year-old son while my husband
00:05is away on a work trip fortunately baby girl took a little tumble because she wanted to be her
00:08brothers when racing to the car which i appreciate because we were running a little late for their
00:13follow-up doctor's appointment and i would like to take a moment to complain and confess i am not
00:17the same mother who likes to make these early ass doctor's appointment from the one who has to wake
00:21up at the crack of dawn and get everything done all by herself to then get everybody to their
00:25appointment now after all the chaos and running around and having no one to help me other than
00:29me myself and my will to live i have to let you guys know i was only nine minutes late
00:34which in
00:34motherhood time that means i was early as fuck so while we waited for the doctor i pulled out my
00:38charcuterie board snack tray which literally saves my life and then i got started on signing my life
00:43away because the amount of paperwork i have to do on these doctor's appointments just makes me want to
00:47start drinking again but since drinking on the job is frowned upon i decided to just take this wet
00:51stale cheeto then sale was offering so while we continued to wait for the doctor the baby started
00:56to get a little impatient so i had to get creative and do a little game of arriba abajo arriba
01:01abajo
01:01which means up down up down let me confess this is all the dancing i also get to do because
01:06taking
01:07kids to the club is also frowned upon once we finally saw the doctor and got referred to even
01:11more specialists so i can then schedule even more doctor's appointments it was time to wrap it up so
01:15we can get ready to go back home and let me just tell you this is about the point where
01:19i start
01:19to get physically mentally emotionally spiritually drained they are tired i am tired we are all tired
01:25we have bryson kicking denzel crying and amaya having a full-blown temper tantrum meltdown and all
01:31i keep telling myself is you cannot break down you cannot break down whatever you do you cannot afford
01:36to break down so i pause take a deep breath wipe my sweat away regroup and keep moving forward so
01:42after
01:42getting everybody situated it was time to do the drive back home although i very much contemplated driving
01:47straight to the bar but i have to tell myself out loud don't do it raquel don't do it once
01:52i was done
01:52being an uber driver it was time to score all of my pissed off customers out of the car who
01:57will most
01:57likely be giving me a zero star because i took too damn long in getting them home all jokes aside
02:02you
02:02guys are always asking me how do you do it and honestly some days i don't know how i do
02:06it i don't
02:07even think i recognize my own strength until i look back at these videos that i make but i just
02:11keep
02:11showing up for the job and doing the best that i can just say a little prayer for me that
02:15i can survive
02:16the rest of the days that my husband will be away
