I’m starting to think there’s something about me that makes people want to say insane, illogical things to me.
Exhibit A was that nutjob I talked smack about last week. Exhibit B is my neighbor. The other day she started talking some serious smack about the East Coast. “I can’t stand the East Coast. I can’t [...]

It’s true, I don’t speak of them often, but I love them just the same. It’s a distant, convenient love. A smile here and there. A few whispered words of encouragement.
“Grow, babies, grow!”
And grow they have. Give it up for Momma’s banana trees- they have made me proud. A bumper crop this season, no doubt [...]

I had a lot of interesting encounters with strangers on my last mini-vacay, from the wonderful to the whack. I’ll start with the wonderful.
That first day at the beach we spent a great deal of time in the ocean. Who wouldn’t? It’s so warm and wavy and fun. At one point, Mumu and I were [...]

It all started with a comment on my last post. Carrie, intuitive goddess that she is, read my resignation from motherhood and suggested that maybe, just maybe, it was time for another vacay. Girlfriend was preaching to the choir yo. I pricelined as fast as my fingers would carry me to the 4 star resort [...]

Aggghhhhhh! That’s it, I quit! I resign as a twin Mommy. It’s over. They have only themselves to blame. They have brought this on their naughty little twinnie selves.
It’s 10am, and I am ready to throw in the towel. The girls are napping, I am venting. Big time. The morning started out okay. Lulu and [...]

I guess I’m completely clueless, but I thought my girls would be at least 4 before they started criticizing my fashion sense. Boy was I wrong!
