A new perspective

So here I am on the verge of being a mom of preschoolers and I have had a change of perspective. Case in point, my twins are entering the dreaded first winter in a preschool ( a first timers nightmare) what this means for me is a winter full of runny noses and coughing. It also means that many of our social outlets are not going to be reliable sources of entertainment for my twins.  Don't get me wrong I don't want to send my kids out into the world and infect all their friends. But it does seem like cruel and unusual punishment to force my outgoing kids to stay indoors ( at home) for weeks on end because they have some boogers. So here is my thought isn't it better for kids to catch colds before they enter kindergarten ( where they would miss a lot of school because of there lack of immunity) so my new philosophy is that germs are good. ( my kids still wash there hands and bathe) But I am not going to freak out about a kid having a cough or booger nose playing with my kids. As a matter of fact what about cold play dates, all those kids who cant go infect other kids can play together. Because the Lord knows I'm not going to survive this winter if were cooped up inside all winter. So your kids have a cough or runny nose with no fever or vomiting ( there has to be a line somewhere) let me know because chances are my kids are in the same boat and waiting to play with friends.

finally remebered the password.

many things have happened since I last blogged. The biggest being my twins hitting their milestone 2nd birthday, they are now officially in the terrible twos and on some days giving mommy a run for her money. A good side to the twos is that my kids are much more capable now to do some things such as go on playground equipment without so much help which is good for me. They are also much more independent a favorite phrase being "me do it"  So now I hit the mommy hood of toddler hood. I am really going to try and get on here more. my goal for the rest of this year is to post every 2 weeks or milestone hits.

Craziness in the rain!

So it has been awhile since I posted life has been busy. Things that have changed since my last post. I think the biggest thing would be that I am car less. I never realized how much I depend on my own car until I don't have one, now my dad and I are car juggling with my moms car so we can both get the things we need to get done day to day done. It has been a challenge to say the least. Another thing that has changed is that my son all of a sudden thinks his umbilical cord has been reattached and cries all day for me to hold him etc. My girl still is the same clingy mamas girl so my arms are really tired. I have been surviving stroller free the last couple of days but I am hoping to bring it out tomorrow morning when I take my niece to school. I don't want to have to carry them both home.. that would cause some serious pain (from me) and tears ( from them when I force them to walk). So here's to hoping for no rain tomorrow. 

Our first milestone as a single parent family!

           This weekend I survived the major thing I have been dreading since the twins were born; whether or not I could handle being alone with them for a weekend or extended period of time. My parents went out of town for the weekend and I was worried. I very rarely do the night time routine alone (with out someone to help if things get out of control). So here I am 2 plus days later and you know what this was great! The twins seemed to cry less mostly because I could leave door open which did away with the where's my mommy gone freak outs! The night time routine went smoothly. And we really had fun. I think that my parents need to go on vacation more often!
          It is also refreshing to know that when I am able to move out that I will be able to handle it. Maybe I have more patience and strength to do this on my own then I thought I did. I was actually impressed with how much i got done this weekend too. So all in all a great weekend and experience. Maybe change is a good thing ( for someone who greatly fears it)
