A while ago I was forewarned by a fellow poster on Twinsclub that after the twins were born I should expect to have to leave my blog aside as life would be too busy. At the time I didn’t see the problem. Why would I? I already have a career and a family, I thought, what difference can two more babies make?

Ha ha ha, you idiot, I now think to myself. How I laugh at my naivety in the face of what would become an overwhelming and huge life adjustment. And I’m still not adjusted yet (I’m sure many family and friends will agree). I realise that underneath my apparently calm exterior I really haven’t a clue just how topsy turvy my life would become.

One day I will probably look back on these times and be amazed at how completely ignorant I was at what was going on all around me. But maybe I will also recognise that this oblivion to the surrounding chaos was essential for my survival.

Anyhow, this is why my blogging has been more intermittent lately. Nevertheless, I’ve managed to post a few up on here and I’ll keep on doing so as long as I can.

My way of coping at present is to just put one foot in front of the other and try to tick off as many of my daily to-do’s as possible and not be overly concerned where I fail or fall short. I know that this phase (and that’s surely all it is) won’t last more than maybe twenty or thirty years tops. All I have to do is keep facing forward and ticking off the to-do’s.

Have kids. Tick
Blog. Tick
Sleep. Tick.
Eat. Tick.
Work. Tick.
Retire. Tick.

Watch the children grow up, graduate, leave home and get married and have their own children….. (half a tick. Well. We have at least made a start, after all.)
