I believe will become a “living post” as in a “living document” – continually updated.
1. I really don’t need to shampoo my hair everyday.
I have gone many a day (I’d rather not say how many days) in between hair washes. It turned into one of those non-priority/luxury activities after a while. I’ll admit that there were occasions when I took my kids to the gym daycare for the sole purpose of taking a shower at the gym and sitting down in the cafe with a coffee after I had removed “the funk” that surrounded me. Now that was living!
My poor hygiene habits while the twins were young actually brought this fact to life. My hair looks better and styles better with a every other day washing. So there you go. Live and learn. Now a shower – yes I SHOULD really take one of those every day.
2. It is possible to hear “you’re so lucky” too many times.
I love, love, love, love my girls! Did I mention that I love them? Best darn tooting things to come into my life – besides my husband of course. I wouldn’t trade them for anything (well maybe a full nights sleep – where I get to sleep in until noon). But if ONE MORE PERSON COMES UP TO ME AND TELLS ME HOW LUCKY I AM AND THEY WISHED THEY HAD TWINS I AM GOING TO RING THEIR NECK! Ok I probably won’t, but I may give them the shut the you know what up look depending on how my day with “luck” is going. Anyone who wishes they had twins hath not a clue. The last thing I would ever say is “oh I wish I had triplets or quadruplets” – yes that would indicate how mentally unstable I really am.

The I wish I had twins cracks me up. Because while I was pregnant and puking daily and on bedrest and two different days of labor. . .not feeling so lucky. Now. 18 months in . . .luckiest woman in the world.
I feel like I am missing an arm when I only have one of them around – just doesn’t feel normal – no doubt beyond lucky and blessed to have them! Thanks for the comments Dakota Pam! Will check you out on Mondays!
