Oops I Did it Again

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , on May 28, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Yah I’ve got a little secret. It’s the darnedest thing…
A few days ago, while Jungledad was away on the volcano and the twinnies were being awfully naughty… Just after I put them down for a nap and starting rubbing the bridge of my nose, wondering if Mumu had broken it when she clocked me with [...]

It’s Not You, It’s Me

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , , , on May 26, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I got into a bit of a pickle at the neighborhood Memorial Day BBQ. Jungledad was on the volcano (still is, grrrr), so I had to fly solo with the twin-os. I held my own on the parenting front, but wished he was there to save me on the awkward conversation front.
All and all, it [...]

Boundaries

There is a lush green park in front of my house, and this is a rarity in the jungle. The jungle isn’t known for its grass, its known for ….jungle. The town has to send people to mow the park every 10 minutes to avoid the jungle reclaiming it. This is awesome because we’re pretty [...]

Alpha Twin?

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , , , on May 20, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I’ve got a bee in my bonnet and its been there since my birthday. It’s a twin-centric bee. It started buzzing in my psyche when my husband and I returned from our delightful, lilikoi margarita saturated dinner out. We walked through the front door to find the girls on the couch (hours after bedtime) watching [...]

They are Different People

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , , , on May 17, 2009 | 8 Comments »

“They are different people.” That’s what the Pediatrician said to me when I asked why one of my daughters wasn’t able to do something the other could. This was the original Pediatrician; the awesome Pediatrician that ditched the jungle to go practice by a posh ski resort. I don’t blame her but I miss her. [...]

Behold: The Last Resort for Mothers of Multiples

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , , on May 13, 2009 | 12 Comments »

In the words of Bono, “desperation is a tender trap,” or harness, as the case may be. There you have it ladies. A little device to tell the world that you have given up trying to manage your multiples. Well if you’re going to go there, I say go whole hog. Hook those babies up [...]

Do You Bite Your Children?

Posted in The Joy of Twins on May 11, 2009 | 7 Comments »

My baby girls love many things. They love to dance to Raffi and Ralph and Billie Holiday. They love running in the park by my house. They love books, especially Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and banging kitchen implements together to make the loudest possible noise. What they love most, however, is being bitten.
When we nibble [...]

Green Card

Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged , , , , on May 7, 2009 | 7 Comments »

It’s not easy being green. In fact, its damned expensive.
I don’t mean tree-hugging green; that’s easy. Expensive, but easy. I mean alien green. Jungledad is in fact an alien. Astronomers often are.
Yesterday I (internally) wept bitter tears over the check I had to cut to homeland security. Honestly, I don’t know why there’s a [...]

Its Cinco de Mayo, and ya know what that means?
It means Jungle Mom turns 30!
Does this mean I have to start acting like an adult? I sure hope not!
Tonight I have a hot date con mi esposo. Sans twin-os. The Margaritas will be flowing, mis hermanas. I just hope they’ve stocked enough tequila on this [...]
