Becca and I were out shopping tonight. While driving in the car, I heard her grunt. I said, “Becca, what are you doing?” “I pooty”(fart) hehe
For the past two weeks, the boys have been cat-napping. They take about three naps a day, of approx. 20 minutes each. I have tried putting them to sleep in the swings with the swings going. I have tried the swings not going. I have tried the bouncy seats. I have tried their cribs. I have tried lights off and quiet. I have tried white noise. I have tried leaving them alone when they wake...
I don’t know how it works for other people, but trying to feed cereal to twins at the same time is not a good idea for me. Seeing as how they have more than doubled their birth weight, and are now four months old, we have started the boys on rice cereal. Complete with prune juice. I remember how constipated the cereal made Becca and the boys are already every other or even third day...
For the first time in probably close to two years, I had ambulance tonight. That would be Ben’s term, I was calling it ambiance, but he got to me. I cleared the rest of the crud off the mantel, unpacked my candle-holders, and lit up. I am listening to Chant with the lights of and the candles on. Very nice. It would be even nicer if I didn’t have to line them all up on the mantel...
I need a dr. Ben and I don’t have one. Does anyone have any recommendations for a dr hopefully not too far from Ballwin? Just a regular adult dr.
I decided to be a ‘good mommy’ today. I made raisin bread for my daughter. Educational and fun. How often are you supposed to pound things? I put Magnus is a bouncy seat, Douglas on the floor on the butterfly play mat and Becca was watching Wiggles concert. I was in the very next room for two minutes doing the initial sticky knead. Dougie started fussing loudly. Not screaming,...

I was wondering why AV’s fur on his back looked so messed up. I noticed it last night and again this morning. So I pulled out his hairbrush, thinking maybe it was a lot of undercoat suddenly loosening up at once, which has happened before. No. It is all stiff fur. Apparently, while ‘painting’ with her milkshake on the table yesterday, Becca decided to paint AV as well.
I MOXI’d The Grudge the other day. I have a weakness for horror films, even though I am the biggest chicken-shit around. I’m not scared of someone breaking into my house or anything. I’m terrified of the boogeyman. Anyhow. I started watching this 1.5 hour movie. I had to stop after 50 minutes, right where Susan buzzes up her ‘brother’ and the doorbell rings. I...

The past few days, when I am sitting down, Becca will come up to me, sit down next to me, put her arm around my back or shoulders and say, “Two friends”.
Every once in a while, Douglas has an ‘episode’. They consist of him suddenly pulling off the bottle, arching his back and screaming for a period of time. He had one Friday night. He had one Tuesday. I called the drs office Tuesday about them. They said it sounded like acid reflux and to give him a tsp of Mylanta several times a day to prevent them. Wednesday, he had two doses of...
The Martha Stewart website no longer has the crafts shopping it used to. I haven’t checked it for about a year, so I don’t know when it left. It sucks, because last year they had a cool big spoon thatrrrrrr was supposed to do ae eeeegreat job scooping the qseeqdsqqqqqqqqq seeds out of pumpkins. It was somewhat serrated-edged. I didn’t eeeeeeeeeeeee purchase it before it sold...
