Losing My MIND!!!

My 4 yr old twin daughters just scribbled all over my computer screen! What am I supposed to do with them? I was getting ready to go the park with them when they went and scribbled with a pen on the screen.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
I dont know if mommy camp is for me!!! At wits end

I have almost 4 year old twins and sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind too. but I love their connection and how for a few minutes, (before it turns into a fight), they do place nicely together and love eachother Wink

I was in your place exactly 20 years ago, except we didn't have a computer for them to scribble on.
Hang in there. This stage goes by fast.
You're building bragging rights.
When your pals or sibs or future dds or dils with one baby moan and groan about how hard it is and they're going out of their mind, you'll be able to look at them and say "don't kvetch to me, I had two at once and we all survived."

My twins are 15, ka"h, and don't get into that kind of trouble anymore. Honestly? I miss those crazy double trouble years! It was tough as nails then, of course, but writing their zany and crazy antics down in a notebook helped me keep it in perspective and we all treasure those stories now.
Hang in there!

Thanks for all your replies. I know that I should be happy to be able to deal with this aggravation. My neighbor walked by my house this morning - she is my age (same class in school) and she isn't yet married and here I am sitting outside with all my kids waiting for the camp bus to come. Sad

I explained to them what they did wrong - how 1st of all they are NOT allowed to use pens ever (this they know but forget bec. they write on my walls and its so hard to get pen off walls) and now the screen is ruined and how they know the rule is that we ONLY color on PAPER with crayon/pencil but NEVER pen!
I put them in them room and told that they have to apologize for what they did.

Within 2 min. 1 dd came out and apologized and a few minutes later the other dd came out and whispered in my ear "I'm sorry".

So in the end we were able to go out to the park and get their free slurpees from 7-11!
