"how do you do it?" (newborn twins and work)

Baby twins, a 6 year old, a husband away in the vineyards and a busy small business that can't wait.
This is how it runs...

I sleep half as much and move twice as fast as before the babies.

There is no time to procrastinate.

On the home front I live permanently at the edge of chaos; this is a great motivator ( I would liken it to being in charge of the fire fuelling a steam engine train going at full speed you cannot stop!).

I dream I'm sleeping.

Shopping at 9pm at the supermarket is a big night out.

I haven't checked my home letterbox for 4 days.

I go to the shops with dry baby vomit on my shoulder and odd shoes and I don't care.

There is no such things as 'just popping in' anywhere, any time.

I am seriously considering getting a headset so I can take calls hands free.

Its a good day if I manage to put earrings on.

I have been known to 'rock' on the spot even when I'm not holding a baby- tonight I realised I was soothingly rocking my shopping trolley!

Last night's dinner was one fish finger and a blob of milkless mashed potato each and nobody dared complain :-)

I compulsively buy notebooks because 'to do lists' symbolise order even if I have no time to write them.

All cups of coffee and tea go cold and I still drink them.

I can type an email, feed a baby, talk parentese, look at colour swatches, and rock a pram all at the same time.

Don't believe I'm really listening even if I'm nodding and making agreeing noises.

Don't believe I'm awake even though my eyes are open.

I'm wondering if you can get a haircut, a dental checkup, a leg wax and a pap smear at the same time and place.

My sense of humour is a badge of honour.

.. I'm doing way better than I thought I would, am grateful of the situation I find myself in; have only cried once; just don't ask me whats going on in politics/world news and don't be offended if I forget your birthday.

My cousin Stephanie sent me a link to these amazing mugshots of Australian lady crims circa 1910-1930 taken by the New South Wales Police and I am truly fascinated! The outfits, expressions and sad stories are haunting me, oh... and I like Fay Watson's pearls!  It must have been such a hard life back then for most. I wonder what these women would have thought if they knew they were being viewed all around the world in 2012.
