Long LOng Week

Well here we are, spring is in full gear along with the lovely allergies and all I can think about is COME ON SUMMER!!!! There are so many things that have happened in the last little bit that I can't keep things straight anymore.The babies are really getting big. it is very depressing. They babble and climb and fight. I finally feel comfortable enough to take the gate down from in front of the stairs. (But the one blocking the bathroom is staying right where it is!!!) They both do very well on the stairs. Noah received his first time out and boy was he pissed!! He didn't understand that concept at all. Ball season is in full gear and I must say that the boys are making their parents very proud. Kayla is finally making strides in math. Freshman is a hard time but I think she may be getting it.I am ready to start ripping out walls and making this very small house fit us better. I can just hear Sharon telling me to just jump in!! She would never have batted an eye at a remodel job, heck she usually did one every couple of years. unfortunately she had more of that talent in her small toe than I have in my whole body and she is no longer just a call away.We are trying to emotionally get ready for Roy and Jan's wedding. I don't have a problem with it, just hard to see Roy with someone that's not Sharon. Bridget is also getting married this summer. It has been two years since Allen died, but it seems like yesterday. Megan lost her baby this week. I keep thinking about when Little David died and how hard it was even though he was barely 28 wks. I can't imagine trying to cope with 34 wks. and knowing the baby is gone. I have been truly blessed with very rotten but healthy children.. Thank you Lord!!!! Babies are fussing so I better close....Later.....Polly

I'M BAAACK!

I can’t believe it has been this long since I have set down and poured out my thoughts to a computer. Things are very hectic these days and they have the potential of only getting worse. Ball season has started and there will be a lot of days spent chasing babies and cheering for my boys. Now that spring is in the air I am anxious to get out and about. The babies are a lot harder to tend to now than they use to be. They are into everything and should have tails and hands like monkeys as much as they climb. Claire is a lot like me I think. She is easy going and takes most things in stride but at the same time has an attitude that will knock you backwards. Noah can be so sweet and loving, he is also easy going most days. He loves to dance and watch noggin. Just when you think that he is so sweet and cute he screams at the top of his lungs ”STOP IT”. They are both still totally different and look absolutely nothing alike. People still ask if they are twins all the time. They were so cute in their Easter outfits. It was way too cold for them to hunt eggs, but oh well, not that they will remember anyway. Just about everybody came to moms on Sunday. It was good to see everyone. All Sharon’s kids came. I was so glad, Roy stayed for quite awhile and Jan came in later(his fiancé). Some days that is very hard to take and some days I deal fine with it. Jacinta and Tracy are thinking of moving to North Carolina. I am glad for them if it will better their situation, but the selfish side of me is wrenching in horror at the thought of “losing” another sister. I have started my Divine Mercy Novena for them and that’s all I can do about the situation. I get too depressed when I think about it so I try hard not to. Well my babies just broke into my room and they love to punch buttons on the computer so I’ll close. Later……..Polly

Time passes by even though....

My how time has flown. I sat down at this computer to check out Busters blog and realize that I haven't written for quite some time. I would love to be able to set and really write but I can never find the time to enter into my own little world. It seems crazy to think that it has been a year already. It makes me feel ashamed that besides my constant thoughts of Sharon,my life is pretty much the same. I miss her like crazy, but my morning routine is still the same and my day is still hectic as heck. My life has gone on. I can't image how Roy and the kids are taking day to day, I don't want to even think of it. The season is going to be hard. I can't hardly get into the spirit, but at the same time I envy Sharon's opportunity of experiencing Christmas first hand. Some days it is hard to get out of bed but I guess everyone has days like that. Thank God for my husband and kids. Even though I would love to get away sometimes, I also miss them like crazy when I am away from them for even a couple of hours. I also have days when I wonder exactly who I am and what in the heck am I doing with my life. I am sure of my spirituallity, but I know that it needs help to grow and learn. Some days I am lacking horribly and some days I do nothing but pray. I hope the Blessed Mother doesn't mind my bellyaching, because Lord knows she hears it alot. I don't mean to, but I need to vent alot and she listens so..........
God Bless You! later........Polly

HAPPY 1 BIRTHDAY!!!

Well as I sit here and look back on the day, I am very tired. Just as the twins birthday dinner had begun, Noah smashed his hand in the toy box and we were off to the hospital. Thank goodness they glued instead of stitched it. By the time we got home he was too tired to even look at his toys. Claire on the other hand had a ball. I can't believe how big they are. All the babbles and coos are turning into partly recognizable words. They both have developed quite a temper and do not care at all to let it show. I was told that the first year with multiples is all about survival. We not only survived, we have treasured it as well...........later...Polly

New experiences!!

well the last time I wrote, I was getting ready for the next day thinking same ole'-same ole'. Things were not the same. Somewhere we have picked up a stomach bug. First Bryan had an attack of the chucks and runs then Claire vomited for 24 hours straight only to pass it on to Noah and now Sam is making his stomach home to this bug. I am trying desperately hard to ignore the cramping going on in my own tummy, and praying that I did not unknowingly hand it off to the next unsuspecting family. We have stayed well away from the new baby in our family for fear of an unwelcome visitor in their house.I know how I feel with a sick 1 year old, I can't image doing this with a 2 wk old. Hopefully my major problem is lack of sleep and exhaustion from holding 2 at once. Thank God for good husbands, because I have no doubt that I would be in a lot worse shape if not for him..... Later... Polly

Long time -no write

My how time flies! The twins will turn 1 in 2 wks, and my they are getting so big. There are so many times that I think i need to write down what they are doing but I never do. They love the cabinets. I let them have 1 so they can climb into it and I find them hiding there all the time. Claire is such a character. She dearly loves her daddy. Noah dearly loves Wheel of Fortune. He will watch it for hours. They are still totally opposite and thank God for that because I don't think I could handle them if they were in to the same things at the same time. Now I just run from one thing to the other. Looking back, I can't image having just 1 of them. There have been a few times when things got crazy, but those smiles and kisses somehow make the wild days disappear!!! Later.....Polly

Early morning misery

Well as I sit here the clock hits 4:33 am and my little son is playing in the toy box! I held him in bed for about 1 hour, but he would have no more of it. So while he wears himself out again I will type.
It has been quite a while since I sat down to ponder things and alot of milestones have past. Both babies are toddling EVERYWHERE. They both have teeth and they both love to climb. Noah loves baseballs and trucks, Claire has her first babydoll that she drags around. They are 10 months old and I can't stand to think of them growing up and leaving this age. I think the twin thing is harder now because its hard to hold, nurse and comfort 2 crying toddlers. They are starting to play with each other more, but they are totally different from each other. I am mentally and physically wearing out. I need a solid nights sleep and adult conversation without fighting children and wailing babies. I was told about a job offer the other day, and missed the freedom that comes with that, until I saw my babies smile. Then I was ready to do it all over. Later......Polly
