What a morning

I started a post about 3 hours ago which was erased when our electricity suddenly went out.  

While I wasn’t happy about losing my post (and spending about 2 hours without AC), this will be a much better post than the first one was going to be anyway.

The morning was pretty rough for a variety of reasons I won’t share.  But things are looking much better now.  Talking to my mom and sister helped a ton.  Falling on my face before Jesus was also key.  And having the electricity turn back on before we died in the heat/humidity was icing on the cake. 

So here’s where things stand:

• The twins pulled open my file drawer when I was in the other room and started pulling out my files.  They’ve never done that before.  They had thrown an entire pile of my papers in a mess on the floor.  They were thrilled…me…not so much. 
• A nearby neighbor had twins recently (7 weeks ago), so I emailed her.  The email conversation prompted me to go back and re-read my blogs from the first couple of months after the twins were born.  It’s crazy how much I’d forgotten about.  I’m SO glad I bother to type all this stuff out.  Sometimes it doesn’t seem worth it.  But then, on mornings like today…it’s incredible to read what I’d recorded about our lives back then.  
• Eric and I froze corn and canned peaches last night.  It was fun to do that with him.  We have about 2 canners worth of peaches to go.  Hope my back and hips are up to the task.
• There was a HUGE thunderstorm here last night.  Bigger than I remember in a long, long time.  Thankfully, the twins slept through the entire thing.  Unfortunately, we did not. 
• At least twice in this post, I’ve had to delete all or part of the phrase “the babies” to put in “the twins” instead.  I mean, they are totally toddlers now.  But it’s a hard habit to break, apparently!
• Today, I really need to go to the grocery store at some point.  And I need to iron a bit.  And I could can some peaches or do some laundry or hang some pictures or exercise or shower or do a couple of other projects around the house.  
• At the rate I’m going, absolutely none of those will get done.  Oh well!

Happy Wednesday!
