If you look closely at my way-too-over-ambitious summer goal list, you will notice that I have "Organize my room" on there.  Ever since the twins were born, and probably before, my cleaning tactic has been to take everything that is in the way and put it in a box to sort through later.  As we all well know, later usually doesn't come.  I can't just throw the boxes out because there are important things in them, along with a lot of trash, and lots of info identity thieves could make much use of.  So they must be sorted through piece of paper by piece of stupid paper.

Tonight I found some notes I made after the twins were born, written on the back of an unopened piece of mail (where else would I write them?).  If I had been writing a blog then, I would have made the notes into a blog post.  So here you go, nearly three years later.

When a Homeschooling Mother has Twins

A wise homeschooling mom can provide hours of school lessons from just having twins.  I suggest giving these lessons when you used to be sleeping, because sleep will become but a distant memory.

Math

Here's an equation for you:

epidural wearing off plus 2 posterior babies vying to be firstborn equals PAIN

And a word problem:

If a new mom of twins is in a hospital room for only 40 hours, how many different people can find a reason to enter her room?

Science

How can identical twins look completely different to their mother and completely identical to everyone else?

Grammar

Which sentence is the best?

I am seriously never doing this again.

Seriously, I am never doing this again.

I am never doing this again...SERIOUSLY!

Religion

Using the cable channels available at the hospital, compare and contrast all the televangelists that are on TV at 3 AM.  (We're sending Bibles to El Salvador, right, Cathy? ;-)

I hope that was even slightly amusing.  Remember that I was seriously sleep-deprived when I wrote it.  And when I said I was never doing it again, well, I meant, having twins in a hospital.  Having this baby in a birth center is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.  Right?
