Random Thoughts
Whoever came to this blog after a Google search on “redhead twins” was probably deeply disappointed.
And I thought I was a geek. Someone is writing a blog, in Middle English mind you, in the guise of Geoffrey Chaucer.
It took J. and F. less than 6 hours to each remove the “childproof” cord cover.
I used to think that Murphy’s Law of Cloth Diapers was “If you forget to include a flushable liner, the baby poops” but now I know that it really is “The week you cancel the diaper service and really commit to washing your own, the washer breaks.”
Stumble it!

And here I thought that semester spent studying both Chaucer AND linguistics was going to go to waste. Finally, someplace to put those skills to work!
Yuck on the washer. I think there is a sensor in them that detects the worst possible time to break, and trips at that moment. Kid has been at summer camp for three weeks and brings home a trunk full of clothes that smell like mildew? Washer will blow up, spraying oil all over the laundry room. Entire extended family coming for long stay over holiday and all the linens in the house need to be washed before they arrive? Washer will begin to smoke and smell like burning tires. Never fails.

Heh. People are going to probably freak when they go to my site and see stuff about poker and running.
BUT they will see stuff about twins, too, as they are fast approaching our lives!!!!
And yikes.

Poker — I am looking forward to watching you enter twin-shock; the first twelve weeks are the hardest but be sure to take a LOT of photos because you’ll forget just how tiny a newborn is.

I guess I forgot to mention we have a toddler as well.
He’ll be not yet 2 when the twins are born.
Yeah.
So I WILL take plenty of photos and shoot video and all that.
If I have time.

Oh. Wow. People with twins AND a toddler amaze me. At least I could stagger through those first mind-numbing weeks without having to care for another child.
