Family Ties

This past week my in-laws have been in town visiting. No one really understands the work involved in hosting your family, especially one that is still new to you and is very different then your own. I want to feel like a family member but somehow I still feel like an outsider. Kinda weird. But the girls have adjusted to their relatives very quickly and laugh it up and play and play. Oh to be so innocent and not jaded. Happy Week all....

Cleaning Closets

Today the girls and I cleaned their closet. When I say we I really mean just me. Although the girls do a great job of taking everything out of their closet and strewing them about their room. This is quite a challenge but I found a new/old toy in their closet that they had not played with yet. It was a tea set and let me tell you they loved it. Although it came with spoons and yes my child Emma tried to choke herself with them. UGH! Why do we still put everything in our mouths......Happy Thursday y'all.

Flu shot

So yesterday I stopped by my local Solantic for an annual flu shot. Do you know it took me longer to be official admitted then it took for me to get the shot and pay. SO crazy. AND the nurse did a super sucky job. Not only did it hurt like crazy she also put the band-aid on the wrong spot and had to pull it off and restick it. Can I say ouch! PLUS my arm still hurts more then 24 hours later. Someone needs a refresher course at nursing school. HA!

Fun idea

*Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

19 Months

Today my twins are 19 months old. I can't believe how time has flown. They no longer look like babies, but are really looking like little toddler girls. They have unique personalities and lots of independence. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes it is not a good thing. Independence often comes with a price. I miss my total independence and know someday probably too soon it will come back again. Until then call me stuck at home and hoping we win the lottery. Happy Wednesday!
