I'm officially a suburban mom...

So this week came and went in a flash. Being back to work full time and running a home-based business (www.cayennepaper.com) is tough. As soon as I pick the babies up from daycare, it's off to the high chair for dinner, then bath, then bed. Only to wake up the next morning and do it all over again. The good thing is that the weeks fly by. The bad thing is that I can't remember if I stopped at that stoplight I went through earlier that day! Not really, but sometimes I wonder what it will be like not to be sleep deprived and running on "automatic" during the day.

Darrell started a new job at BAE Systems on Oct. 1st. So far, he's liking the change. He is going to be in New Hampshire all week for a training of some kind, so Nana came up (after I basically begged her) to help me this week. It's been so nice having her already, plus the babies laugh more at her than at me. What's the deal with that?

And I'm officially a suburban mom-- no turning back now. It's not because I now have 2 kids and really DO live in the burbs. No, it's because we traded in my Camry today for a MINI VAN. GASP! I know--- the horror of it all! But it's really nice and full of things we needed-- like SPACE for 2 babies, a huge stroller, groceries, my work stuff, and whatever else. It was quite comical if you ever saw me in the parking lot of Target alone with the babies. I'd have to put them in the car, then put the stroller in the trunk (pushing and shoving until it fit), then strategically place shopping bags all around and pray they fit. Now shopping will be much easier. Yay for that-- boo for the new budget we have after having twins, though. We save every last cent for diapers, wipes, formula, clothes, and so on and so on and so on. I hear it only gets worse once they go to school. There are field trips, ballet/soccer classes, and so on and so on...
