This past week has been so freaking tiring and I get to work and leave the chaos behind for a bit. The other night M and I went to bed at 7:55 pm (scary i know). Then from around 9-1 am it was feeding time and they took turns being fussy. I told M that they shouldn't call it having Twins. We need to think of another name. Twins conjures up the t.v. ad of the double mint girls on their bikes, or "oh hey the twins are here" or cute little matching outfits. I think maybe people think Twins will eat, sleep, poop, be fussy, want to be held and cute at the same time. So, I mumbled to M that they really should call it "Having 2 new borns at the same time" and we need to think of some cute other term. She said what about "2 n.a.s.t?" No- that sounds too close to nasty. And it ain't nasty it's wonderful, beautiful, and scary. Sometimes I feel bad that I am not on cloud 9. I might be on 8. (note: that reminds of what a therapist once told me - You can have conflicting and different emotions about the same issue or person. I always remember that life tip).
One of M's sisters said to her "why is it hard? There are 2 of you and 2 of them." Gee thanks Mother Theresa for that wisdom.
I don't want to complain. It took us 3 years plus to get here. And we are here. When you are here do you know where you are going next?
I wonder if you can get post pardum hormone transference? I feel a little more emotional lately. I just played my voice mail at work and my younger brother left a message on it. It just hit me how much I miss him. He lives in Charlotte, like in North Carolina. He and his wife are about to have their second baby. Any day now.
Pictured above is mairin and Bruce. I wonder if she will like him. I know many people think he stinks. Personally, I love the man and Tunnel of Love I submit is one of the best albums. I met him once back in uh 1996 after a show in D.C. He was hot and suprisingly reallly short.
Maybe mairin will like Akon(?) or some other crap my adorable nieces listen to. I asked my older brother- "hey have you checked out your girl's ipod play list- cause there are a lot of songs about bitches and hos?" He did not seem to know that fact. And he is the Republican of the family (a good guy otherwise). Go figure.

I so enjoy your blog. Mairin (and her name) BEAUTIFUL! Maybe you SIL Mother Theresa could come for a few days. She could alternately let M or you sleep while she and the other one take night duty --- needs to be several days in a row though for her to get the full effect. heh heh. Hang in there -- Cloud 8 sounds like you're doing well.
