Drowning My Sorrows in Mini-Snickers

Posted in Woe is Me, tagged , , , , , , , on October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

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! [...]

Trying to Impress Other Moms

Posted in 1, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Hi, I’m Jungle Mom. I live in a jungle on the side of a volcano in the middle of the Pacific ocean, with Jungle Twins, Jungle Husband, Jungle Cat, and a fascinating collection of uninvited arthropods. Which island?
