Life’s been stressful and hectic, to say the least.
It’s getting hot which means time for swimming, which is great, but swimming with a 5 year old and twin 20 month-olds is not an easy feat. We’re working on mastering that one. Yesterday, I took them with their little baby boats to ride in, but Nate hated his. He kept signing “done” and when I finally took him out, Ace decided he needed out, too (even though he’d been having a grand old time until that point). Then I was stuck trying to hold both of them and of course Nate ended up going under… Read the rest of this entry »
Last weekend, the boys were up unacceptably early, so like any good parents would do, we gave them milk, turned on the TV, shut the doors and let them wander around our bedroom while we tried to sleep some more.
“Uh-oh!” says Nate. “Uh-oh! Uh-oooooooooooh!”
The next thing I hear is Sip telling me Nate has just handed him my glasses… with the left earpiece snapped clean off at the hinge. Uh-oh. Read the rest of this entry »
Ever have one of those days when the universe is trying to tell you not to proceed, but you disregard the warning signs and go ahead anyhow?

I would do the walk myself, but unfortunately, there isn’t one within 2 hours of my home. A big thank you to my mom and Patience, who walk in honor of our little guys. :)
I got this e-card today from Patience as part of her fundraising, and it was too stinkin’ funny to not post here.
Last time I posted, I was looking for my mojo. I think it ended up in my toilet around 3 AM along with my stomach contents. After posting, I called K who was kind enough to go to the grocery store with me. I kept feeling worse and shopping was horrible, as looking at the food just made me want to vomit. I even considered making myself barf just to feel better, but figured that wasn’t exactly when I wanted to do at Safeway at 10 PM.
I also remembered during that time why I quite possibly never want to be pregnant again. Because that is how I feel just about every second of my pregnancy. On the verge of barfing. Not cool. Read the rest of this entry »
