SuperMom status is not worth the trouble to reach, but I am enjoying my Mom-jobs and we have a super-sized schedule... I have learned several things in the past month: 1. Homeschooling is a job. 2.

Yep. It was indeed the twins' 1000th day of school. They exercised for 100 seconds x 10 different exercises. (1000 seconds of exercise). After school homework time (in the car rider line) story: Alee needed a sentence with "babies" so I asked her, "What do twins mean to a mom?" (I expected an answer including the word babies.) Alee correctly said, "They mean more work." Alee is never dull! Sometimes I would appreciate a little less drama from her. Alee has a new infatu...
