The Family

Alright so I decided that I was being kind of selfish doing a blog about my running and not my family (Especially since they are more important). so I think I will include some details on them. The twins are 3. They are night and day in a lot of ways but are also very similar in others. People always look at me in wonder in elevators or in stores as I have two boys that look very close in age and a baby on my hip. They will ask "How far apart are they?" pointing to the twins. I think they ask it because there is a stark difference in height. Then of course sometimes I will say "three minutes" and other times I will say "they are twins" It just depends how tired I am and the humor of the other person.

For a long time the three have been in diapers. The baby (who is 11 months) and the twins all wear the same size. I had attempted several times to potty train but the twins banned together and decided to thwart all my efforts. I tried every trick in the conventional book of potty training. I finally got a tip from another twin mom to potty train them separately. To ignore one in that area only of course, and focus on the other. It worked like a charm at least with the one. We now officially have only two kids in diapers and I am filling up the mommy patience reservoir to get ready to train the other one. I think I am going to start training the baby while I am at it. Just kidding.

My husband is awesome. I wish every woman could have a man like him. He tells me I am beautiful everyday and does jobs around the house. He is a good daddy and the baby wants his attention almost more than he wants mine. My husband lets me have time for exercise . That is really something. He is just a nice guy and he keeps me laughing. He hates it when I brag about him so if he makes me erase this I hope you have already seen it.

I love running, and exercise of any type. I love being a mom. I love to watch my kids play together. I love little voices and morning kisses. I am not very good with late nights but I love the snuggles in the mornings. My kids are my life and though I had a good career at one time nothing compares to what I am doing now. I am changing the world, affecting future society to come. I guess you never know how your influence will influence others to change the world.
