Just so there is no confusion while these posts may come across as though I'm very sarcastic and maybe just a touch crazy I do love my girls and my family very very much.
Why do I feel something wet?? Something you really want to ask yourself right? And really something you want ask yourself when you are trying to get just 10 more minutes of sleep in the morning. Potty training is a big task for anyone, if you haven't had the pleasure of doing it yet just trust me! Teaching your toddler how to make it through the night without wetting the bed is a whole other topic. But this is where I am going... For the most part the twins do really really well at bed without wetting. From time to time there is an accident which is to totally be expected and certainly understandable. I have developed the habit of "checking" the girls when they inevitable climb into bed with us each night. I am sure you don't need an explanation as to what "checking" means. Even after they are in bed I find myself waking up to "check" them again to make sure they are dry. And this past week I did just that... except.... one of them wasn't dry (insert appropriate emoji here). Now I was faced with any parent's dilemma ... do I wake her up and get her changed and remove my sheets and clean my bed? Or do I go with my gut and sleep my ten more minutes because hey the damage is already done right? Why deprive myself of sleep?? Never mind the fact that my 3 year old is sleeping in her own pee. Well of course we all woke up and did just want I knew was the right thing... but maybe just maybe next time I'll take those extra 10 minutes.
Mom, mom, mommy... Isn't it fun when all you hear all day is these same words repeated over and over again? I for one absolutely love it so much so that my husband and I made 5 kids just so I can hear it for the next rest of my life. In the busy moments of the day is when I like to hear it the most, especially when there are multiple variations of the word mom... for example mom, mommy, mother, mama and let's not forget when more than one kid is saying it at a time. It's at these moments I wonder if my kids really know they have a father. I feel very luck to have been given this designations and to be clear I would never change it ... ever.
Does my voice sound funny? I love social media, I really do. There are so many ways to connect and share with our family and friends that I often find myself overwhelmed with the number of choices I have. Ok, not really overwhelmed, I pretty much stick to my favorites, instagram and snapchat with a little Facebook thrown in there. Now once you choose the platform you want to share on you then have to decide if you are going to post a photo or video.. both are fun and completely acceptable, who doesn't love a cute photo or silly video of your kids?? But let's switch things up a bit what if you are the one doing the talking and posting the video of yourself? For me there are so many things that catch my eye AND my ears while I am recording a video of myself.. the most nerve racking for me is... the sound of my own voice! Seriously, how the heck do volgers and those that post videos get over the way their voice sounds? Ugh... I just think I sound so silly... which often leads to the question "Do I really sound like that?"
The diaper isle.. Am I the only one that feels overwhelmed in the diaper isle? It's either that feeling or a feeling of social anxiety, after 5 kids I am still next exactly sure which it is yet. Here is what's up... there are so many different brands to choose from and each brand has its benefits and yes some downfalls. We all pick the brands we love based on different factors but why oh why do I feel awkward when I am standing by the target brand (yes, target is my happy place) and the lady next to me is staring at the honest company brand? Let's be real sometimes I get the look of "are you really going to buy those?" and maybe I shoot the same look right back at that person. In all fairness does it really matter?? If I want to buy the target brand or huggies isn't that my choice? I consider myself an educated consumer of diapers (hello 5 kids) I mean even if you only have one kid that is a 5 day old newborn you could pretty much consider yourself an expert. So let's all just be nice to each other in the diaper isle, maybe we could give each other high fives for simply putting diapers on our babies!
