Holy crap sarah! 3 toddlers???? No WONDER you need to vent. They'd drive a saint to drink! I know what you mean, it hurts your heart when the little poops get your goat. Take heart, and find rooms with doors that close. That might not be easy sometimes, but give it a go. I also found (if you have a high tolerance for mess) that some of the simplest things will help everyone get along.
1. Make cookies together. Give everyone hunk of sugar cookie dough to cut shapes out of.
2. Make playdough and give everyone some cookie cutters to play with.
3. Try funky stuff like sucking jello up through a straw
3. Make finger paint with liquid dish soap and tempra paint and let them paint a window with it. BONUS: When you finally wash off their artwork all you need is water! Soap is already there!
4. And finally, come visit often! There's lots of us Mom's who've been exactly where you are and will offer you virtual hugs when you need them. Many is the time I've come here for comfort when I felt like the meanest mom in history. This place is family, and we're here to be your sanity break. {{{{{{sarah}}}}}}
