I'm Such A Liar!!

Said I'd be here yesterday and I lied! Well, didn't really lie....circumstances and complications were such that I didn't actually end up coming to work yesterday. Bureaucratic red tape concerning a doctor's note clearing me to come back to work. My departure from work was such a mess, why should my return be any neater??!!

So I had planned to do some great, return post.....not sure about what. I could write a novel about the past 3 months of my life, but I was going to try to do something interesting. But if I have learned nothing else lately, it is that plans are pointless. Especially when you have four kids ages 5 and under----two of which are completely dependant and NOISY and DEMANDING (albeit adorable.)

Anyway, since I made the grand announcement that I would be back, I thought I should at least come back and say "hello" and "I've missed you" and one of these days I'll try to really be back.

I know my Mom has been doing regular twin updates so you shouldn't be completely in the dark about what's been going on in my world lately. Just tell me one thing: Are those twin baby girls not the most adorable little things in the world?!!? (I may be a little biased, but come on!! )

I write this at work while I sit eating a Chipotle burrito (my favorite thing in the world to eat which I was denied my entire pregnancy because of what it did to my digestive system), and drinking coffee and diet Pepsi in a desperate attempt to keep myself awake (which I have found is much more difficult to do while staring at a computer rather than running around like some wild crazy lady at home).

I'm hoping one of these days soon life will feel "normal" and "controlled" again. But probably not. In the meantime, I hope there are some people who still check on me now and then. I promise I will try to be here on a more regular basis from here on out. (Providing I have no more 3 month absences from the outside world!)

It's good to be back in the land of the living--so to speak!!

We love seeing the photos of your family on Grandma Dawns.....those little girls are so precious and such gifts!

Hope your Easter Weekend was blessed....and you kissed those little miracles all over! What amazing resurrection power God extended to your little ones! Still praising God for their perfect little bodies and birth!

Hi Kristen! Even if you only have time for a few lines it's nice to hear from you anytime.

Congratulations (I think?!?) on being back at work again, and have a great week.

Love and hugs,

Great to hear from you again! And yes -- those little girls are completely adorable!!

ps: I know you've been busy lately (ahem -- that's an understatement!), so you may not know that I am privatizing my blog as of April 1st. Let me know if you want to be included in my 'invite' list.

Welcome back! I'm glad things got straightened out so you could get back to work (that is a good thing, right?). I'm sure the money and the break are needed! Enjoy your "quiet" time at work and your burrito indulges again. :-) We have missed you, too! Oh and yes, your twin girls ARE adorable! I'm glad your mom has kept us up to date with pictures. You do have such cute kids!

I wanted to say hello. I am a new reader to your mom's blog. She is a sweetheart.

I have twin daughters as well. Mine are now 25 years old but it seems like yesterday that they were little babies.

Have a blessed and quiet evening!

Welcome back from maternity leave. I see that you have your hands full with the children and working. I would be falling asleep at my desk.

Nice to hear from you once again. Take care and try to take some time for YOU.
