I don't ask for things often, but my family really needs a new car. Our car was inspected only to find that the 11 year old clunker has over $1K in repairs and is a ticking time bomb. I have entered to win a car for a deserving family, so I hope that anyone who comes across this will take the time to vote. Only takes a few seconds of your time.

Migraine, migraine go away...
Molars, molars, molars. Tormenting my poor little guys. They each have 3-4 of them coming up at once, only 2 have broken the gums so far.
They scream, and throw tantrums and we cuddle, soothe, give pain relievers and Orajel. It's horrible to watch them to go through this, and there is nothing more I can do for them.
It's also giving me terrible migraines to deal with the high pitched screams and tantrums... I am hoping this phase passes soon.

September already?
I am a little happy and a little sad that September is here already. While I will miss the summery beach walks and the swimming, I will NOT miss the tourists. Plain and simple, they are irritating. Traffic, beach crowding, jacked up summer prices in stores, not a fan.
Yesterday my husband and I got an iced apple cider from Dunkin' Donuts, man that thing was tasty! I love the taste and smells of fall- cool crisp air, apples, cinnamon, pumpkin- sensory heaven. I also am excited to get the boys' Halloween costumes this year. As cute as they were last year, at a few months old we certainly weren't out trick or treating.
We're back on track cloth diapering-wise, and that is awesome. My grandmother and aunt got to see what a modern cloth diaper looks like (compared to what they used) and they were amazed. My grandmother was impressed with how functional and attractive they are. Cloth diapers FTW, lol. I love the boys in cloth, and we plan on CDing our third and possibly fourth child as well.
Anyways, that was a quick update, I'm sure there will be more at some point later on.

Annoyed today.
I feel really, really stressed out and upset lately. I'm annoyed with myself, because I ran out of the proper detergent for my cloth diapers (mail ordered because it's cheaper) my boys have had to endure disposables (and some rashes) for 2 days. I feel like I failed.
I also have a lot to do with my Mothers of Multiples group, and I have a sad feeling people will bail on me that were supposed to help.
Our landlords dropped off our new lease which I am quite annoyed with, and because of my failure to save money over the past several months we are unable to leave, instead having to sign on for another year.
On a brighter note, my husband is pretty much a shoo in for a new promotion, which will more than DOUBLE his pay. So, we can pay our debt down to nothing in this next year we are stuck here, and save money to put down on a house. I am tired of pouring $1K every month down the drain on renting a place simply because it's convenient to my husband's work.
I'm stressed, I'm tired, I'm a mom tired TWIN mom. Hopefully things will look up some more SOON, I'm not sure I can handle financial, teething, and general stress much longer.

I am bad at this!
I almost never update, so I'm thinking I'm not really a super blogger. I've been keeping busy this summer taking care of my toddler twins who turned 1 in July. I can't even believe how big they have gotten!
We're still cloth diapering, which was one of the best decisions we ever made. I've gotten really into it, and now love the cuter diapers! We now have MORE than enough diapers, and are doing it full time. Yay!
I've picked up my crocheting again, and I am considering making some cute items. Slippers, bags, baby items, etc. I love crocheting and knitting. I also picked up sewing, and constructed my first pocket diaper! It works SO well, and I am going to make a 2nd diaper.
I have also embarked on a weight-loss journey with my best friend... I would like to be seen in a bikini next summer! Let's hope we don't let each other fail.
