Although I do not have twins I do have a 3 and 5 year old (boy and girl) that operate as the activated mighty twins. They are definitely the help me Jesus in everyone of my posts.
My little guy is more like momma---laid back, social, people person, my Princess, although she has my sensitive heart, is her father, thru and thru. That's not a bad thing, just different.
They are both string willed. Actually, she gives whole new meaning to strong willed---she is on the verge of expulsion from pre-K.
I received a call yesterday that went like this....Debra, the kids are good but do you have about 5 minutes ...Ok, I'm here to tell you "do you have about 5 minutes" is never an intro to a happy conversation. I am sure the actual conference will have it's own dedicated blog time. Until then I will move on.
As a 42 year old momma I am TIRED. Do you all hear what I am sayin?! My sisters, all of whom are older than me and my mother, all had babies in their 20's. No, not me, the good Lord decided that he was going to bless me with 3 boys (ages 5,6, and 9) when I married my husband (at age 30) and bring me my final two blessings when I was 38 and 40. I must say that the challenging times of being a step mother and helping to raise 3 boys was SO incredibly different than being a 24/7-can't-send-them-away-give-them-back-kind-of momma. When the boys were little, they shared time between their momma's house and our house, sometimes they lived with us full time and sometimes they didn't. It worked, for the most part. They are now 22, 20 and 19 well adjusted young Marines. OORAH!
I try to blog while I am on my phone so that I can keep an eye on the Mighty Twins, but my phone died and I wanted to finish this. So now they are unattended and in a totally separate part of the house--this is NOT good, and I know this, yet I continue to sit here and type. I figure, as long as I can hear their little voices and they are not whispering, then I am in, somewhat, good shape. It's the silence that sets off the inner mommy alarm that makes you jump up and shout profanities (either internally or audibly). Ok, folks, I hear water and laughter, that is a sign that I have to go....MIGHTY TWINS activate, in the form of ....hopefully they are going for track stars because they better run when I get down there.
Be good to yourself and always a blessing to others.
They used a half bottle of dish detergeant and decided to wash dishes. Needless to say there was water all over the floor, running over the sink and paper towels everywhere from them trying to clean up their mess. And yes...they activated as track stars because one look on my face must have said--YOU BETTER RUN. lol
