They Like To....

I realize it's time I start keeping better track of what these two tiny human beings are up to. For starters, I'll catch up by saying that they are officially 20 months and 3 days old.
Where did the time go? Don't answer that...

And anyway... let's move on.

Miss Natalia and Mr. Noah are very much into dancing. But they cannot dance alone, noooooo... they must get everyone on the dance floor. They pull your toes or your hands and say "Up, up, UUUUUUPPPP" until you get your lazy butt up and shake it.

Noah calls Natalia "Baby."
Never mind the fact that she is two minutes older than him or about 2-3 inches taller than him, nope. She is the baby and that is that.

They love to kiss and hug each other... but only when they want to. Don't you dare try to sneak up on them with a camera or ask them to do it, they just wont. Period.

Noah loves Basketball. He calls it "Basket basket basketball."
And he can dunk the ball in his little basket like Michael Jordan. Ok, well almost.

Natalia is an organizer. She is always setting things in order, she arranges
and rearranges things until they are just perfect.

Noah loves to make the cat's "meow" sound and the dog's "woof, woof."
Natalia loves to make the monkey's "ooo, aaah" and the duck's "quack, quack"

If something bothers Noah or if he does something wrong he blames the baby.

Natalia loves to imitate me when I'm yelling at them. She will start talking gibberish and start pointing her little fingers and saying no and shakes her head and says bad. She especially likes to do this to her grandpa, my Dad.

Noah loves to have "Man time" when his father gets home.
He anxiously waits to go into our bedroom with his Dada to get changed and
Natalia cannot dare look their way. She belongs in the kitchen with her Mama, of course.

The baby, a.k.a. Natalia likes to put her babies (bears) in little baskets
and sets her water bottles in their laps.

They love to call each other out when they are being naughty. They point to the other one and say "Baaaaaad!" And same goes for us, if I deny them something that I'm putting into my mouth and they want oh so badly (like my coffee), they will point to me and say: "Mama baaaad!"

They like saying "My Mama"
I love it.

Also, they best:
They sometimes fight over me, they will both try to climb and sit on me and try to
push each other off while screaming "My mamamama, mine!", "Noo, mine!"
And they kinda try to hit each other (air fight)... and I let them.
I figure, if there is something worth fighting over... it's me.

My Little People

Oh.. Hi =)

I know, I know....
I've been a bad bloggy friend....
BUT
I've been busy being a great Mommy.
You don't believe me?
Just ask my kids...
(They are perfectly brainwashed to give you MY desired answer)
So, you would think that me being jobless would allow me more time to come
here and blog away to my heart's desire, well you would be correct.
The thing is
I've been ABSOLUTELY enjoying the twins so much that I haven't
made my around here. Well, that and... umm, watching TV, some other
personal projects... and practically being glued to my Kindle Fire.
Let me tell you, it's been fantastic.
But I realized that time is passing by way too quickly.
The twins are doing so many amazing things
and I haven't been keeping up with the memories.
For now,
here are some pics of Natalia and Noah at 19 months:

Jobless and Mega winner... all in one day!

I'm officially jobless now.

My last day at work was Friday. It was very sad saying goodbye to all of my co-workers and friends after seven years together. I'm still sad. It feels surreal. Now, I'm back to having to start from scratch and look for a new job. No, I haven't even started.... I was secretly hoping they would change their minds and not lay off all the peeps in my position... well, more like I was in denial. Actually, I'm still in denial and in an obvious rambling mode. I was offered a position to stay but it was part time and it was taking a step backwards. Taking a part time position and staying with the people I love wouldn't help me pay the mortgage so I had to turn down that offer. Bummer.

On the other hand, I get to spend some amazing quality time with the kiddos, this I'm happy about.They are full of personalities and constantly have me laughing. As they say, its a blessing in disguise, the twins will never be this little again so I'm just going to enjoy them as much as I can.

Oh, and before I forget. You know this huge Mega Millions that just passed? I said I would win, and I did... $10..... guess I should have been a little more specific with my wishes, huh? o.O.

Sex, Sex, Sex!!!!

Raunchy title?
Let's get a bit raunchier...

That's what my two little darlings like to yell every so often.
Why that word? Well, because they see it every day. And I do mean every single day. These kids are actually very aware of it and can start calling 'sex' out as soon as they see it. I'm so proud of them!

Now, I know they are only one year old but they have to start learning things. And if they mispronounce things like... umm.. SOCKS... and call it SEX... at least they are close enough, no? And if they think that's the one word they should repeat over and over, even if its in public, the least I can do is support them while hanging my head in shame, right? Right!

Best Fitness Advice Ever

It's quite simple really. Are you ready for it? Ok, here goes:

Don't take any fitness advice from me.

I've been pretty consistent with my routine for a few months now. And oddly enough it's not working. Perhaps you'll help me figure it out? I do weights and cardio. I watch what I eat. I log what I eat. And I feel fantastic doing it. I've putting the kids to bed and running down to my cold basement to do my thing at night. One problem? It leaves me energized so I don't sleep right away and so I'm tired the next day.

No, I can't work out in the mornings. The glue from my sheets is set to release me *just* in time to get myself and the kids ready in the mornings before leaving for work. No deviations from the plan. Getting up at 5:30 in the morning is just ridiculous. At one point I fooled myself into believing that I would get up and start my day right. I did it a handful of times and that was it. Nigh time works better for actually having a routine.

But really... it hasn't been working lately. (Here comes the problem you were supposed to help me solve) I mean what's wrong with working out one full week, and taking two off, back on for one more week and then two off again, and so on and so forth? A routine, is a routine, is a routine... why does it matter that its not often? No need to answer, really. I know its bad. I wish it was easier. I was doing good (3 weeks straight) until I found out about losing my job, and that was.... umm... a lil over 3 weeks ago. My inspiration is gone and I'm oh so sad. And not happy. Boo. =(

It's Not You, It's Me....

I have recently been given this line.
Well, not in those exact words but let's no get technical, kay?

The company I work for has decided to brake up with me.
Well kind of. The big people decided that my position is no longer necessary to help them with their business. They are WRONG and they will find out soon enough. And no it's not bitterness talking it's just the truth. I work for a huge company- very well known- so for legal reasons I will not be getting into details. Hundreds of us across the country are going to be out of a job so don't go thinking that I'm not a hard worker. If you think that low of me then you think that low of all those other people that none of us know, so behave. We are just victims of this horrible economy.

I've known for a couple of weeks but I suppose that I have been living in denial. They are offering some of us the opportunity to stay for different positions but that's no good. I worked hard to get where I am and I don't want to step down, I simply don't think it makes any sense for me. Besides, the working hours are in no way family friendly so I decided to take whatever pay off they are giving me, spend some quality time with the kids and win the lotto. OK, so that last part was just wishful thinking, in reality I'm considering going back to school. I'm not sure if its a possibility yet since I have the twins and a mortgage to worry about but we shall see. In a way I feel that this is a push from the man above and if I don't take a leap of faith now, then when?

I have until the end of March. At that point I will be joining all of my unemployed peeps and I'm very nervous. I am also very very sad. I cannot believe that I have to say good bye to all of my co-workers and friends. I've worked with them for many years and having to leave is heartbreaking. My life is about to take another big change, am I ready? Nope. Oh Boy.

Knock, Knock...

Who is there?

Apparently not me...
Maybe I'll go to bed...


Did that even rhyme? Did it make sense? I dunno...
This right here is just a test to see if anyone in the web world remembers me. I think I died but came back to life. If you watch TV or read silly books then you'll know that it is entirely possible that what I'm saying is true. How else do you explain me writing now after so long? Exactly. And we all know its not a ghost writing cause that's not possible, so there. That's what happened, I died... but I'm back =)
