The cardboard box in the foreground gets more action than ANY toy in our house.
Also popular are big empty plastic OJ containers and any random piece of paper.

Post-Partum Depression for Mothers of Twins
Posted in SAHM, miscarriage, parenting, post-partum depression, raising twins, twins on February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I experienced some post-partum depression after the girls were born — almost a YEAR after they were born. That’s right. I don’t believe I had one free second with which to feel anything but exhaustion for the first non-stop eight or so months of their lives. I’m not complaining (not this second, anyway). This past [...]
Has it Really Come to This?

Dirty stove top, golden dinner. Endless winter, nuggets and taters.

Reviewing some of the posts from this past week, I notice ubiquitous foul mouthedness. Stress does not bring out the best in people.
It’s really low-class to curse all the time, isn’t it? You know what will be even lower class? When I hear the same shit coming out of my still innocent daughters’ mouths one [...]
Holy Crap!

(this is my silver fox, nice parking job, eh?)
Wow. I could not have predicted the events of today.
Around 10 a.m. I had the passing thought that I couldn’t take another day cooped up in the house with the girls. I looked at the clock, noted to myself this thought, then continued playing with Beenie and [...]
Welcome New Tab: “Playlist”
Posted in music, music for kids, parenting on February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Something I’ve been thinking about lately is the constant soundtrack that is woven into each and every day here in our little twinsies paradise/insane asylum. Mimi and Beenie LOVE music. Mimi stands in front of the stereo and demands for me to put something on for her to dance to. Both dance and both have [...]
Today is Challenging

I want to get this down while I’m in the midst of a difficult day with the girls. It’s not entirely them, either. Part of it is I took what will be my last teaspoon of my special cough medicine last night. In a way it was good that I did, because when I slept, [...]
Mossymore, Mossyland

Yesterday I took A&B for a stroll around the neighborhood, despite the chilly weather. We all needed to get the heck out of our little rowhouse cage. On our previous stroll the random spring day a week or so ago, we encountered some great moss and wanted to go back and take some pics. My [...]
Beaches

Sounds like a Bette Midler movie, right? Is that who it was? I’m sure it had something to do with cancer, so I did not watch it. I don’t like moves about people dying from horrible diseases.
Beaches are the subject matter of my most recent series of paintings. It sounds SO FREAKING CHEESY, but I [...]

I have little detailed recollection of this past week. Nothing really stands out about it, other than the fact that it was week #2 of being sick. It’s 2:44 a.m. EST, and though I started out sleeping in my bed, I find myself once again on the couch because I woke up coughing so much [...]
