Anyone who knew me before I had children knows that I wasn’t the most…flexible person in the world. I like to have a plan, know what’s happening, and be prepared.
Anyone who has children—and particularly twin boys—knows that it’s next to impossible to be totally prepared for anything.
My husband and I had hoped for a relaxing Christmas holiday, but when both of our boys came down with pink eye the week before Christmas, it was a little tough. We powered through—even when one of our boys had an awful reaction to his antibiotics during Christmas dinner. I won’t get into the gory details—trust me when I say it was bad. Really bad.
We adapted to our tumultuous holiday, and decided that we would enter the New Year a healthier, calm family. The boys were feeling better, Christmas was behind us—and I came down with a terrible cold.
And just as I was feeling better, my poor husband lost his footing on the ice and is now trying to wrangle our boys on crutches.
Like I said in the title of this blog, it always gets better and sometimes it gets worse. But one thing is for sure: I am never bored!
