Wonder Woman
I have superpowers.
Yes, more than one.
But I'd like to demonstrate one for you right now.
I can *magically* make all of you say the same thing at once.
Ready?
I am exhausted from lack of sleep.
~and the people said~
WELL DUH.
See? You all said it.
Here's the rub, the babies, for the most part, sleep very well. I, for the most part, do not.
SO. DUMB.
I was going to bed later than them, waking to pump during the night and also waking with them. Not to mention for some reason when I would wake it would take me at least an hour to fall back asleep.
So.
First I quit staying up (hence, no blogging), then I quit the midnight pumping session. Then Maggie quit sleeping through the night.
Sigh.
A twin mom once told me that there is an extra measure of grace for twin moms which includes relatively easy babies who sleep pretty well. The Peppers really do, I cannot complain. Maggie is just in a growth spurt or something. She is also very inquisitive and afraid to miss ANYTHING. Especially a meal.
But I digress.
Van is afraid to miss a nap. He is slightly more laid back than her. (understatement) He is not "easier" though, just more laid back. Somehow he is also infinitely more sensitive. Don't ask me how those qualities go together, I don't know, they just do. But you should meet him, his smile will change your life.
Maggie's bright eyes will change your life. She's been like that since birth. Amazing.
Wait, where was I? (See? I get nowhere even when I can)
Today they are taking their first nap. We like naps, wow.
Anyway.
Problem number two with blogging is that I had it in my head that to come here I needed to write something stunning, or bring adorable pictures of my munchkins. I know these two things are fun, I love sharing them both, but I really need this blog. I needed to remember that for as much as I truly adore all of you and am grateful you show up here and for me in so many places (love you) (love you) (love you) that this is my space. This is my place to reflect however and whenever I need to. So you may begin seeing a new or different kind of post from me. I even wrote some I didn't publish because I thought you'd wonder what happened to me.
Three kids in 14 months happened.
Joel happened.
Twins happened.
Deployment happened.
So ummm, if you don't like some of what you see here in the future, can you just not tell me? Because I need to write what I write and how I write and it just is what it is. But dear heavens I can't wait for the time to wade through the words and emotions around this new life. Somehow I doubt a different kind of post will do it.
But it is a start. And I have to start somewhere.
And naptime is apparently over, bye!

I can not imagine anyone would fault you for your posts. You are amazing JUST the way you are! And, you are right those babies are adorable, how could they not be with you and Leo as parents!

I am no expert, but I find that people find a variety of kinds of posts refreshing. You're multi-faceted and so is life. Write whatever you'd like, yo.

OH YES, sweet girl, we are here for you, write about whatever you need to write about! We were all here for you when you were writing about the loss of dear Joel, OF COURSE we will be here when you write about how exhausted you are, how much it SUCKS that their daddy is deployed, how much you love them and how much that makes you miss Joel even more because now you know better all the moments that you never got with him.
We are here, and we love you so. very. MUCH. Thinking of & praying for you always, Wonder Woman.

You days ( and nights) are so busy. But I know we all wait and long for a post or a pic of those little beauties, and to hear how YOU are doing. So much on your plate. God is with you and so are we.

Hi!
Do you not think about the environment? Let's work on renewable energy?
What can you offer in terms of advertising?

It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.

I recently watched some videos related to this issue. In fact, we think it is possible in several different ways and a more natural look.
