Here's a mini science lesson for you: sleep deprivation causes memory loss. Also- stress has been proven to negatively affect spatial memory. So, that explains why I honest to goodness can not tell you what I ate for breakfast this morning (did I even eat breakfast??), and why my car keys are most likely in the freezer. With the constant "You'll miss these days!"s and the "It goes by SO FAST"s, I'm really feeling the pressure to "cherish every moment."
And to who do I credit the state of my rapidly deteriorating mind? Why, my adorable little stress-inducing sleep stealers themselves:
Jonah and Noah
My 3 year old identical twin boys. My wrecking crew. My demolition team. The reason I have such a strong desire to remember these days, yet also the reason I probably won't. They leech energy and sanity from me like it is their oxygen. Which is appropriate because I often feel like I am drowning.
I have been told on multiple occasions that my boys' "adventures" (isn't that a nice way of putting it?) should be documented in a book or blog. I have also been wanting to record precious (and sometimes not-so-precious) memories with our little family- as well as recipes, projects, parties, and other boring stuff that married people with kids do. And so you have... my blog (ta-da!). Just a quick disclaimer: This is basically my personal journal. It will not be inventive, revolutionary, or hip. You will not look cool reading it at Starbucks. It may involve poop and/or pee. It may not even be interesting at all. However- it WILL be (and this is a money-back guarantee) a very reliable form of birth control. Just- whatever you do, don't look into their eyes. They're cute, yes (oh they are SO. DANG. CUTE.), but remember that evil comes in many forms. In this case, it has sparkling blue eyes and an identical twin (and he's evil too).
