These are a Few of my Favorite Things…

I’m not admitting to anything, but it may have transpired that around my 120th straight hour of solo twin wrangling, when I started to feel overwhelmed and isolated on my little island, I may have turned to an old friend, Julie Andrews, for a bit of guidance. Without further ado, here are a few of [...]

Drowning My Sorrows in Mini-Snickers

I’m on my 50th straight hour of solo twin duty and if it weren’t for the bag and a half of Halloween candy I’ve eaten I’d really have lost my shiz by now. I’m just 2 mini musketeers, 4 mini milky ways, and 7 mini snickers away from my pre-pregnancy weight, I can feel it! [...]

When Twin Worship Goes too Far…

Okay, so living on a remote tropical island where my twins are the only twins I’ve seen means the little ladies get a lot of attention when out in public. That’s fine. Overwhelmingly it is good attention, interspersed with a little weird attention, and every once in a while a bit of bad attention Crazy [...]

First Word?

Jungledad and I disagree on the twins first words in every capacity: whether they were words, whether they were intentional, and whether, if they were intentional, were they used with understanding as to their meaning.
For example, I have cinematic evidence of Mumu saying Mama, but Jungledad disputes she knew what she was saying. If I’m [...]

I Freakin’ Love David Sedaris

Here’s a Sedaris quote about undecided voters I stole from Perez Hilton. Yea, that’s right, I read Perez Hilton. No remorse.
“I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I [...]

Enough With the Self Pity, Junglemom

Whenever I’ve had a night like I had last night, or a week like I had last week, when the twins’ massive cold and my massive cold cause us all to be less charming and well-rested than normal, and I start feeling sorry for myself and throwing stones I shouldn’t be throwing at singleton parents [...]

What’s it Like to Have Only One Baby?

Yesterday Lulu was going to town on her Johnny Jump-Up and I didn’t want to mess with a good thing, so I decided to feed them individually. As I fed Lulu her purple sweet potato (side note- all the root vegetables on this island seem to be purple or hot pink, no joke) I was [...]

Is McCain Hiding Something with all that Scribbling?

Okay normally I don’t get all blogopolitic, but I have bee in my bonnet. A Republican bee. I will preface this by saying I am not normally prone to conspiracy theory or reading too much into things. Maybe being up all night for a week straight with the twins and their cold has driven [...]

Sex and Ailments

Our voices are changing, and it ain’t puberty. Jungledad has developed a deep, gravelly, I’m-the-Sheriff-around-here baritone while my vocal offerings have morphed into a throaty, hard-livin,’ warm-lovin,’ dirty tight t-shirt in a dusty town purr, and all of this would be very, very sexy if we weren’t incredibly ill. We can [...]

Known Gnomes and Unknown Gnomes

The Matag Man is here seeing to the gnome situation, and I’m hiding in the living room. I don’t like to disturb people when they’re working, especially where gnomes are involved.
The gnome that he’s here about is particularly disruptive. Around 1am Sunday morning, right around the time Lulu finally went to sleep after screaming bloody [...]
