Simple Thursday
The girls have the flu. So sleep has not been going so well this week. But let me tell you, give me the flu any day over Strep! They are clingy and needy, but still feel like playing and going about life as usual. The biggest change we have seen is their energy level. They go, go, go then they come and collapse on us to rest for a little bit then they are off again. So I made this simple tip pretty short since we are doing lots of cuddling here today. I would love to hear how other Moms and women have made life more simple!
My simple tip today is pretty simple in itself. When the girls were younger they HATED to have their faces wiped after a meal. I was tired of fighting them every day so we started a new trend. We would carry them (away from us so we would not get dirty as well) to the sink. I would get a handful of water and rub around on their faces. They LOVED it, especially if a tapped on their mouths for a bit and let them make the "Bwahbwah" sound. Then I would rinse off their hands and dry them off. It was a perfect solution for us and it made our lives so much easier there for awhile. They don't mind their mouths getting wiped these days, but oh! How they would fight us when they were younger!
I have so many ideas about simplifying life I want to share. I have found them all over! I would love to hear how other Moms and women make their lives a little more simple. It can be anything at all! I know my previous 2 how focused on my kids, but if you have a great tip about cleaning out your car (I have one of these too!) or how not to let the mail clutter the counter up, share away!

AT&T
As in...always talking and talking.
Zachary certainly got his motor mouth from me, according to my mom. I have been waiting to see if the girl's follow in our voice steps.
And by the way...do anyone else's toddlers speak Japanese? I swear that is what it sounds like they are speaking. We do a lot of "Oh yeah?" "Oh, that is great!" "Really?" as they babble to us. Olivia babbles a whole lot. Abby says more actual words. They both can get their point across by pointing and babbling. I can usually figure out what they want even if they aren't saying actual words.
They have the cutest way of saying yes. Abby says, "aHem". It started out as a little laugh that evolved into this. I actually got it on video along with her saying "OOoo" at the end.
Yeah, thanks for starting her on Jelly Bellys, Daddy. She has SUCH a sweet tooth.
Lately their little words have blown up!
Abby says:

Grandad
No (she has this one down to a Science!)

"I did it"

You can hear her say it towards the end of this video of
Gary reading to them both

And sometimes she says "Yeah."
Which she says really quickly right at the first in this one,

Answering Your Questions - 2
When I asked people to de-lurk last week, I got a great response! Thank you so much! Part 1 Q&A can be found here.
#4 from real life friend and former teaching co-worker, Rachel of The Bug's Life.
~Do you miss teaching?
I miss teaching; the kids, the creative lesson planning, the poster and big book making, the songs, the dances, calendar time, the connections, Writer's Workshop, Reader's Workshop, reading groups, handing out Cowboy Cash, making butter, green eggs and ham, center time, reading books, Name of the Day...I miss all aspects of the teaching process. I miss being part of a group of adults, being part of a team.
What I don't miss are the forms, the tests, the TPRI, the DRA, the IEPs, the stress, the silly co-worker fights, the pee smell, the being stuck in one room for 8+ hours a day without the option of using the bathroom at any point. I do not miss my bosses, but I miss my co-workers more than I can ever say. :-)
#5 from Lisa at Sophie and Hannah's Big Adventure. I swear our girls are exactly alike. Sophie is SO much like Abby and Hannah has a lot of Olivia's qualities. I find myself nodding along to most of her posts, thinking "Yes! Mine do that too!"
~Do you take your girls to story time or group activities?
Oh, I am so bad. I don't. I know I should. This is one of my goals this year. We need to get out of the house more. Honestly, I am a little terrified at the idea of me handling them on my own in public, especially when they are not contained in a stroller or basket. BUT, like I said, I will be working on this. I would like to do more playgroups and other things like this.
#6 from Monica at The Jonas Family - Life with twin boys.
~How did you do with the big list that you wanted to do in 2009? I think it was on the side of your blog for a while...did you get any of it accomplished and are you still working on it 2010?
I am still working on it this year. In fact, I only got 13 crossed off. Ugh! You can see which ones on the left there. I am re-writing those goals for this year and hope to get more than that crossed off. It did help me to have that list reminding me what needed to be done. I think 1-50 should have been survive.
#7 from my cousin, Brook at The Life of Little Lady England!
~When are you coming to OK for a visit?
Ha ha! Soon, I hope. I miss seeing you all very much. I wish we lived closer so that we could hang out more often. My question to you? When are YOU coming down for a visit?? ;-)
My last question came from Heather at 3 under 3.
~I am amazed by your ability to NOT be 100% crazy with all the strep issues. Did you have the appt with the ENT doctor yet?
I answered this a little when I talked about our sleep issues in the first Q&A post, but I update. We are still Strep free!! YAY! If we think they are getting it, we will go straight to the ENT for a more thorough culture. If it continues to be a problem, then we will be taking out tonsils. I am hoping we have knocked it out for good! Sleep is also going SO much better. Bless Gary's tough heart! Olivia is now sleeping through the night about 5 nights out of the week. Abby will sleep through about 3 nights a week, but she only wakes up once and just needs us to cover her back up and sit there with her a few minutes until she is back to sleep. Halleluiah! (Spell check went crazy with that word. Is that right?? It looks right??)
Also, thanks to the following people who either de-lurked or posted a sweet comment:
Cheryl of Twinfatuation
Sara, who reads at night
Kelly of Catching Up With Cooper, another real life friend and fellow teacher co-worker
Nikki, who I have known for about 20+ years
and to Anonymous, who just confused the crap out of me.

Simplify Your Life
A favorite blog of mine, Your Home Based Mom, does a word of the year. She did one last year and I thought about joining in. All I could think of was “survive”, so that was my secret word for myself last year. And survive I did. But this year I felt a lot of things come together to play along with her, openly with accountability. Her word last year was Joy. Lovely word…one of my favorites, but it was not to be mine.
My word has literally been popping up everywhere I go. There have been signs, literal wooden signs, with my word on them, ad campaigns, books, store windows, t-shirts, magazine articles, blog posts, the list goes on and on; each one with words of wisdom that center around my word. Last Fall I went to a craft fair with all kinds of merchants and vendors. There was a Vinyl Wall Decals vendor there and I stopped to talk, because you KNOW how much I love the wall words. After sifting through the sales items and the catalog, I knew I wouldn't be buying anything that night. She mentioned a free sample and I gladly accepted.
I almost laughed out loud. I knew then that Someone was trying to get my attention and get my attention He did. I mentally threw in the towel. I started this post that same night. I have worked on it on and off for months now. I knew it needed to be posted, to be shared. I think one of the very best things we can do for each other as women*, whether you are a mom or not, is to share what we have, what we know, our knowledge of how we can help each other. So with this in mind...
Simplify Your Life is born.
So here's what I am thinking. We all need a little simplicity in our lives. It looks different for everyone. To me, simplicity is a lack of chaos. One of my goals this year is to simplify things in my life and I need your help. I need ideas and I am sure I am not the only one out there. I figured Thursdays are the best day to do this since it is the least used day for a meme. It doesn't have a cute little rhyme to it, does it? But that's ok! Share away! It can be anything at all. Leave it in the comments or post it in your blog. Let's have fun with it! I even made this nifty little button for you to grab.
Ok, here's mine for this week. One of the ways I simplify my life is by sorting and rotating toys. We have a small toy store here in the house and for many months I picked up a ton of toys every day (or not, whatever). I knew something had to give.
*Dudes, if there are any of you reading, feel free to get in on this. It's not just for us girls.

We already had this storage shelf and the colored tubs.
I put anywhere from 5-6 toys in each tub. I made sure there was a stacking toy, a sorting toy, a musical toy, all different types of toys in each tub. I brought just that 1 tub down from the shelf every day. They get rotated each day so the toys are always moving. I also get one big toy down a day, like their ball popper or animal train. So, for the most part, I only have to pick up 1 tub of toys a day. Unless you count the 1000s of books they get out a day, but that is for another post. It has definitely made my life a little more simple.
Your turn! I am going to try to get a Mr Linky up with this post but if it's not there, you know I ran out of time.

Vacation
I am in Tenn with my BFF, Farrell and her husband for the long weekend. I am hoping to get a little blog time in. Maybe so. All I know is I am going to sleep all night and eat food while it is still warm. I might even shower ever day. We are set up for massages. Ahhhh!
See you soon...

Answering your questions - 1
Thank you SO much for everyone who de-lurked this week! Now on to the questions - Fun fun!
Question #1 from Jennifer from The Foster Family
Who is your blog crush?
Oh crap! Like I said in my comments I should have seen this coming from a mile away. And...how can I answer without hurting feelings? Because you know who you are, really you do. I know...you're thinking, me? Yes, you. I love your blog. I love your attitude and your sense of humor. Love love love love you!!
Question #2 from Soliloquy from She Just Had To Say It
What one thing could your husband do for you that would fully communicate his deep and undying affection for you? (I hope he's reading.) ((You're welcome.))
Ah yes, Gary does read and if he truly loved me, he would get contacts. For reals...
In all seriousness, (and turn away if you are squeamish) Gary shows me deep and undying affection in so many little ways everyday. There is not a day that goes by when I don't feel completely loved by him. He is the best thing that has ever come my way and I am blessed beyond measure. And Thank You...for reals...
Question #3 from Linda from Twice The Love
How are the girls sleeping these days???
Even though you caught up on some previous posts I am going to answer this. We have felt like we shouldn't let the girls cry a whole lot at nap or bed time because of their sore throats...since last March. They have been sick off and on since then. Their throat cultures came back negative on Friday (whoo-hoo!). The specialist said for us to come back there to get a thorough culture the next time we think they have it. If they continue to get it, we will go ahead with tonsil removal. I am really really hoping it is gone for good. I think the Penicillin shots they got last week knocked it out.
OK, on to the sleep issues. Gary got tough with them this week. With the last round of Strep came stuffy noses, coughing, and misery all around. In order for any of us to get any kind of rest we started getting them out of their cribs to sleep with us in our bed or sitting up sleeping in the recliner. They had started getting up 4-5 times a night again. This went on for weeks and we were exhausted! And I don't do well on no sleep. I cannot function. Things were heading South fast. Hence the getting tough on Gary's part. Starting this last Monday night we are not getting them out of their cribs at night anymore. We do go in and comfort them, but do not take them out. It has been a rough few nights, but we are staying strong. If they had their own rooms, it would be SO much easier because just when one is settling down the other will wake up, only to settle down just as the other gets a fresh wind. It has gone on for HOURS at night. We know it will get better, we know this. We know it will take time and we believe with all of our poor little hearts that sleep is in our near future. So keep us in your prayers. I would have already given in (I know!! BAD SARA!!) but Gary is tough as nails about this and I know he is right. (See? One more thing he does that shows his devotion to my and our family)
And I am going to stop here for now. I will answer the rest of the questions in the next post. If you have any more just leave them here or in the de-lurking post and I will answer them. Even if you don't have a Blogger account, you can comment as Anonymous and ask me anything. And you feel like it, you can actually put your own name so I know who is de-lurking.

De-Lurk Here
Guess what?? It's that time again...
Last year I had several readers who came out and showed me some love. Some were new and some were regulars. Some have become regulars blogs that I read :-) Some of them, I am not even sure still read. And one of them? I have a secret blog crush on.
This year I have decided to combine this post with a answering question session. I have never done this before so I know you all have those burning questions you want to ask.
Like: How are you not completely insane? Heehee, how do you know I am not?
Anything is up for discussion. Weeell...you know, within the PG-13 rating at the most.
So come on! De-lurk! Say hi! Ask me anything! 'Cuz seriously...

Sickies
Abby tested positive AGAIN for Strep on Christmas Eve (yeah, that's not a place you wanna be an a holiday) The pedi put them both on antibiotics just to be on the safe side. On Monday, two days after finishing a heavy duty antibiotic, Olivia is now testing positive and Abby is negative. Both girl's throats are fire engine red and they are miserable. They each got 2 shots of Penicillin, but are not on any antibiotics. On top of that they have coughs, yucky coughs that end in throwing up. We are so tired. This is the reason I have been absent. I hope they bounce back soon and I can get back into the swing of things.
We are going to an ENT dr on Friday to see what can be done for them. They have been fighting Strep on and off since last March. We are tired, so so very tired of it. And sleep?? Fo-getaboutit...only a few hours at a time then one or both of them are with one of us in bed and the other in the recliner. Infancy, anyone?? I took those 4-5 hours we were getting for granted that is for sure.
I just wanted to check in really quick. I will be back soon with some cutey pictures.
Oh, and terrible twos have hit Abby like a Mack truck. Holy Moly!!
