Karma's a fickle thing, isn't it? I can't even remember what hubby and I used to do with the free time we had years ago. Even the phrase "years ago" makes me feel old but that's the truth. We started dating in 1999. I just randomly bring that up as both of us would probably forget the fact our marriage anniversary is next week amidst trying to plan a birthday party for twins.
Okay back to the boredom subject. I see now, for whenever I thought I was bored or just had nothing to do, yup, game over on that one. We figured to have one baby and go from there. Ease into the parenting role right? Not so much. I''m figuring my inability to sleep is halfway due to just not being able to turn my brain off - constantly going over what must be done at work, at the house, the girls, etc................. Then again, one baby or not, are you ever 100% prepared for becoming a parent? Earlier tonight Audrey, now stuck with the cold her sister had, threw up all over hubby. I'm sure he was just thrilled but he worked to calm her down, get her changed and ready for bed even before worrying about the fact he was covered in regurgitated gerber tomato puffs.
Not sure exactly what's fueling my motivation, but I want to have a really fun, full of people party for their birthday. Waiting until the final two weeks to put a bathroom in the basement and clean every inch of the house now seems a slighly bad decision. Procrasitination is not a good thing! Duh................I knew that, didn't I? Of course that also meant the girls finally got sick (Augh!! We were two weeks from having a year of sick-free babies!) Odd enough, Allie was a very happy sick baby. True she just had a small cold that lasted a few days, but didn't seem to bother her much at all. Somehow I'm going to get everything done. I may be a walking zombie by next Saturday, but it'll happen. Obviously this is why coffee was inventd. (Yes for those who know I'm trying to cut the caffiene, we may have to resume that after the party.)
Enough rambling............ nevermind learning to walk, read ,what have you. This week's accomplishment - ask Audrey what does a tiger say and you'll get the best "roar" an 11 month old can come up with.
What, our anniversary is next week. Holy crap. Seriously, how did that happen? How do you plan something for you as a couple to do when you are planning 1st birthday parties. Jesse and I are going to Texas to meet Trinity this weekend so any plans for an anniversary have been forgotten. LOL
ReplyDeleteLife has really changed hasn't it? Last year at this time we were on bed rest praying to be paroled and here we are wishing for time to veg on the couch. Cruel twist of fate.
Hey, at least a roar does not cause you to have to chase after anyone.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the party pics and hear all about it! Maybe Audrey can roar at all the guests as they arrive :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! The party will be great, and you'll have fun. I hope you figure out how to turn your brain off and start sleeping better. I wonder if trying some meditation techniques would help? - Tkeys
