Dear Readers,
Today so far has been a smooth day. McKenzie stayed home from school sick while Marie headed off to school. I can't even put into words the world of difference it makes to just have one child at home at a time. There was NO screaming, NO fighting, or crying! McKenzie watched some cartoons while I exercised. then she played ever so nicely with her ponies while I wrote a little and picked up the house. She was a perfect angel!
However, now that Marie is home...the calmness is ending. It must be just as hard to be a twin as it is to be a mother of twins.
P.S I've officially started sewing! Already made two dresses (jumpers) for the girls! Having a sewing machine is so fun! Project Runway here I come!! :)

Ever think "This is just crazy?"
Dear Readers,
Ever have one of those days where the kids are going wild, you stub your toe for the "hundredth" time that day, the dishes seem never to get done, the laundry looks like a monster trying to claw it's way out of the laundry room??? Do you ever just think "this whole motherhood deal is...well...just crazy?"
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it baffles my mind how i can love something so much that gives me anxiety, sleepless nights, migraines, weight gain,etc? How can I love something that just 'hurts' so bad sometimes? This was my thought today as I drove my screaming, crying, never seem to be happy in the car, children to the park for a play date.
As their screams got louder, I wondered why I wasn't just staying at home in my P.J's and having them watch movie after movie??
The answer is...I love them! I love this never ending , joyous, exhausting job of mine! Though there are day's i can't even see straight, and I feel like 'vomiting' from the stress of raising twin girls...i wouldn't have it any other way. REALLY, i wouldn't. I'd be missing out on so much joy if I didn't have my children, sure I'd have my hair and nails done all the time, and ever dime would go to my clothing but really... nail polish chips, clothing gets old and my hair...well that's another topic.
Motherhood is IT for me. Nothing will ever compare!
(just don't ask me how I feel about it around 7pm at night, my answer may be very, very different) :)
