The Two-Brains

Two brains are def better and more challenging to deal with.

I know I have entered the terrible two’s, which really are not at all bad. I acutely love it. The tantrum stage we have sort out long ago. The tantrums they can do, they not allow to make any noise while busy tantrum. Which is funny to see. They look like worms lying on the floor. So you just step over them and go on as normal.

But the way they team-up and mostly it’s against poor me and the enormous plans this two brains can think of to do, is ageing me up with a speed of a flash.

If one don’t want to do it, they will stick together and the other way will not want to do it or eat it. Mostly the one will eat and loving it than the other one say no, don’t want to eat. It’s only then when the other twin brain, stop to think.... I also don’t want to eat!.

They get up on to things which let me gasp for air. And they encourage each other so together they think the world is theirs.

If the one don’t want to get dress in the morning you can just about leave it. And if we went for a stroll in the pram, to shop or grocery shopping. We need to take their favourite toys( which are sometimes allot) or they dress up. I think Nika have bunions problems , cause she wants her slippers on most of time. I bought her pink bunny slippers Tuesday and the next day she walk in them till 4 o clock that afternoon. I bribe her to get it off!

Everything needs to be open up, been cut or need to been drawn on, needs to be turn up side down.

To be at a coffee shop with play gim and they start killing each other and I need to go up these spaceship things with the whole of the place watch at this enormous noise that’s need to be sort out. Then I want to burst into tears.

It;s then  when I start to scream YES ON THEM!!! I think I sound most of time like a bitch!! And I wonder is this normal???? Do other moms, nanny’s or daycare aunty’s do this also the whole time? Is this supposed to be normal? Will I lose it one day. Will this pass?? Ever?

But I do think this is normal at this age! Thank goodness!! Otherwise I am just bullshitting myself!

 

But I do adore them 99.9%!!!!!

After 3 years we went to the KKNK festival again. We just love it always and to watch shows! But this year we just went to stroll around and have fun. NO SHOWS DUE TO BAGAGE...

Kids love the vibe and all that was going on. We meet up with friends and funny how quick time flies, some we have not seen in 2 years. So the coffee dates were marvellous!

It did take planning because the twin’s parents have no time and no routine, except for sleeping. Nice part was daily when they sleep in their pram for 2 hours.

Years before kids we always think kids will change it all, but we still just go with the flow and only got back late Sunday.

In an A.R.M.Y ambulance, glad he is not the medic!

Look how high we are!

 

 

The Cape Epic is now on  and I know it's n hectic race for riders.... I spot this team

                                      Sorry "Team Twin Maniac" maybe next year!

                                  Today 3 years ago we got the call...... its POSITIVE !!!!!

                             ..and boy! if we only knew what was about to come our way!!

                                                            The best blessings ever!!

We took a bit of a long weekend last week and went camping.  I pack the car and we wait or Luv to get home, when it start pouring rain. So what now???? Because we see so forward to it we decided.... come rain or not, but we are going!!

                                             Wium enjoy the coffee and cookies

The campsite was full due to pensioners on long holidays, but we get squeeze in between them. Long time ago we live in the town but now we are on semi-holiday and it was totally different....... it was the best ever time!!! We have had a ball of the time!!

                                                Just love my family

                                                        peaceful....

The Friday night there was a festival and the kids just love all the lights and people, they did not wanted to go home!!!

                                               Totally exhausted!

The rest of the time the weather was super! And most of our time we were on the rocks and beach and pools. We did loads of walks.

                                                       Bath time

                                    Early morning bird feeding

The older people love the twins and the twins love them too. I do think there was times when they quickly zip up the tents when the twins was on the way....

                              Mmmmmm,  nice supper, mommy

For long we did not do stuff we did BC kids. but more and more now things are happening at our house. One afternoon after work we took our canoe(covered in loads of dust) and try it out again with the kids on a farm dam. It was great and the kids, who look like Baby-Bob from the Barney stories with their lifejackets just love it. they even want to swim and jump out of the boat...

                                       Before we hit the dam.......

Little brother busy "body painting his sister!

 

 

                                       Just love the paint!!!but they don't get clean afterwards.

One of the things I hate most in life is “TO HAVE MY PERIODS” that bloody bitch is killing me and after all she just ruin my life with her appearance.

And with my non-working-uterus with her monthly party-trick of only shedding her lining I have had enough!!

I have had an operation 8 years ago to get rid of my endometrioses and it was heaven on earth afterwards but I think it’s back home again! So I talk to my gyni and about a month ago.....are you sitting down for this....

ME THE INFERTILE WENT ON CONTRACEPTION!!!  Yes it’s out!!!! Can you believe!! After all these years I settle for it. I’ve got the loop! The Mirena is my new friend.

 

I def not went on contraception because I was scared I got pregnant with twins without my tubes.

..  for the never bleed again ever!! I never want to see blood again!! That’s why I got it.

I t still feel like a joke to be on contraception.

The last month I was reading an article of Dynamic women. Because of my terrible monthly flowing this was an amazing story for me.

Most women don’t think about sanitary pads and tampons you just put them on your shopping list because you need them. If you think that the average women will use 16 800 pads or tampons( I think I have double that)  But there are people who is living on a extremely low budget or in very rural areas that can afford it. So what do they do ( I was always wonder about it)

 

Some kids are missing out on school when having their periods because of not having pads. Some girls using newspaper or share pads or using bags of sand in their panties. Which is terrible and cause infections.

Sue Barnes have start this project Subz ( Project Dignity) where they give out a girly hamper to these girl with panties and design pads which can be wash. This is just amazing!! You can just imagine what dignity it give this girls.

I am defiantly giving them some money for this project!! I know how bad this montly periods can be.

Go and have a look on her web site. www.subzpads.co.za
