Junglemom escaped the jungle! About frikin time, yo. I’ve been having daily meltdowns over the monsoon rains and needed relief in the form of a long weekend, or “mini-break” on the warm sunny dry beachy side of the island. As Bridget Jones would say, “A mini-break means true love!”
But is a mini-break possible [...]

Twins Make You Smarter
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged babies and time managment, babies change the way you think, babies rewire their parents brains, twins make you smarter, twins= no lingering over coffee on March 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »
I’ve been thinking a lot about brain cells lately because a team of scientists has contacted Jungledad via email, wanting to scan his brain. Its not as flattering as you’d think. Actually, its down-right insulting. They want to scan his brain because they think or hope its been damaged… by the volcano.
Did you know that [...]
The Gnomes are Back!
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged appliances malfuctioning for mysterious causes, gnomes causing trouble, gnomes seeking revenge, why me? on March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Had a hot date with the Maytag Man yesterday, who was here again about the gnome situation. Different problem, same gnome. No flowers, no chocolates, just a stern suggestion that we extend our warranty. Those gnomes aren’t going anywhere apparently. Grrrrr.
The carburetor gnome is back as well. Despite the fact we have a brand [...]
Here Comes the Story of the Hurricane
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged annoyances of living on an island, how do you disciplane a 1 year old?, hurricane insurance, mortgage companies bleeding me, natural disasters on March 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Ahh, Dylan. Great song. Class.
But this post isn’t about that. Its about real hurricanes, or rather, lack there of. Absentee hurricanes cost a fortune, let me tell ya.
For once, we did our taxes early and got our refunds back early, and now their all spent…..on hurricanes that don’t exist. Our mortgage company mandates that we [...]
Smackdown at the Organic Market
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged babies breaking up tension, getting entertainment where you can, island life, life is often boring without cable, living in the tropics, organic supermarkets, the dream is always better than the reality on March 11, 2009 | 5 Comments »
There was trouble in the air at the organic market, and this was unusual. I go there fairly frequently for organic milk. There are no dairy cows on the island, so milk must be flown in from thousands of miles away and it costs as much per once as platinum. But you drink it. [...]
My 100th Post!
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged back issues of the New Yorker piling up, blogging and free speech, eating toast while giving birth, free speech, free speech and blogging, I don't understand home births, If you say what you really mean people won't love you, Mark Twain, talking smack in blogs, The New Yorker, The Privilege of the Grave on March 7, 2009 | 5 Comments »
It’s my 100th post boys and girls, and this one’s going out to Mark Twain. In a roundabout way, I have the twinnies to thank for that. They’ve been keeping us so dang busy we haven’t had time to read all the New Yorkers that have been piling up on our bookshelves- until now. We [...]
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged deciding where to have a family, Do I stay or do I go?, figuring out where we belong, moving with twins, the problems with too many choices on March 2, 2009 | 5 Comments »
There are too many choices nowadays. That’s the problem. That, and the fact that I am too easily seduced. Not by people, by places. Its time we started looking to our next adventure, and we’re torn as to where it will be.
We’ve never feared starting over. And over. And over. But at some point, [...]
