:-) Just give me some time and I'll send you a long mail and tell you about our educational system. I try to prepare all next week's lessons today, so that I have a little more time for my things the next afternoons. I really need to do some mails, I just wish I had more time.

As to heat and pregnancy, I can't imagine what it's like if those two things go together. But I'm sure both will be over soon. And then you're going to be one of the coolest mom's on earth ;-) Just think about your first christmas with your little family and you forget all the hard stuff you're facing now.
Have a relaxing Sunday, speak to you soon, Doro

School is really good. I even manage to have free-time after I've done my work. I tend to turn into a workaholic and I must make sure it never ever happens again. It's just - sometimes, when I love what I'm doing, I just can't stop. At the moment I just love all the new excitement and topics, I could prepare lessons all day - but that's a sign for madness, isn't it? I thank God I have about 10 puppets to finish and send over to cheeto, so that there's natural distraction at the moment.

How are you? September draws near...You know what I thought? It would be pretty cool if your twins were born on Sept 14th. That's my birthday and this year it's on a Sunday again - like back then when I was born. If life has to do with the date/day of birth, they won't have it easy all the time, but their life will never get boring. There's nothing worse than being stuck in average life. :-)
Hope you have a good weekend, speak to you soon. Doro

Tennyson got his first collar today. He takes it very well. And I had to put the hatches of the cat toilets back in, because he was spreading the litter all over the place. He found having a hatch on the toilet that exciting that he used the toilet 3 times within the next half an hour. I just wonder if my cats all get mad or if I have a talent picking the mad cats.
Apart from that he's a little troublemaker. Managed to break our best bottle of wine and otehr stuff and made me really angry. He's learning, that's good, but still, he is pretty naughty.

How are you? I saw the pics on MySpace. How amazing! You must be really excited. It can happen any moment now ;-)

For me cats are a lot like children. Doesn't mean I treat cats like human beings, but sometimes I just can't help it. And I still don't know if I will ever have own kids with my husband.

I'm not sure, 13 is pretty old compared to 3 months and it could be that the activity of a kitten is a bit too much for an old lady. And an older cat would probably result in fights your cat doesn't deserve. If I were you I would wait till your babies are a bit older and then consider having a new cat, so that you have a little more time and patience for it. The changes caused by the loss of Ringo is already a blow for your other cat, I'm sure you both need a lot of time to get used to it.

Are you sure your twins are going to be libras? Twins often arrive earlier than they were expected, I'm sure the two are already bored to death in your belly ;-)
I wish you a nice afternoon. I'll finish my set of dolls now, only some small adjustments and they're are ready for shipping :-)
Speak to you soon...

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I miss Mini. I don't know what happened to her, so I keep hoping she still comes back, but deep inside I know she has left me. The little one is cute and sweet, but he gives me little comfort when I think of Mini. Still, life goes on and distracts me, keeps me busy.

September - so the<'re going to be Virgos, like me. Could be worse ;-) Be prepared for some headstrong, but probably pretty creative girls who will strive for indipendance sooner than you wish .

Hi Nan!

Those are lovely names! The reason twins are only 20% more work is you don't have to duplicate efforts very much. If you're changing one.. you just do two. If you're feeding one.. you just feed two... etc. We had the twins sleep together in the same bed for the first year or so. They slept on each other like puppies... like they're doing right now in you!

In case you haven't purchased a stroller yet, I suggest a Graco two seat stroller with each child sitting in front and back, not side by side. The front/back stroller is much easier to maneuver through doors and such when it's not double wide, just double long. Also, the Graco strollers have car seats that lift out and into your vehicle very easily. I hope you can benefit from our experiences with your double gifts from God!

Hi Nancy! Nice to see you around! How are you? It's not too long now, is it? When is your husband going to be back? Hope everything goes well. Take care! Doro

God Bless You on the twin girls!!

What a joy!! Mine are named Isobel & Brigitte, exotic, soft, feminine names without being too weird! Twins are only about 20% more work than a single child at first and later they are less work overall since they keep other company. I'd rather have twins than have to raise two individual children at different times. When are they due? Pick names yet?

Hi Nancy Louis!

My web link is my original profile. I was away on business for several months and lost my forum login information.

When I thought of 1990's fashion style, I immediately thought of grunge... plaid flannel oversize, shirts, baseball caps... for the boys anyways... and some girls. Of course we also had the hip hop look, baggy jeans, running pants, black narrow jeans, Lycra, fleece, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Donna Karan. Ohh.... and beanies!!!
