Tired

Posted by Mimi on 6 July 2009

Weddings. Who knew they can be so exhausting to attend?

Especially when you have these two as companions…

twins running

…who either tug on your skirt the whole time, run around — or hide under — the tables… or simply shoot off into the open field, with one twin going off in one direction, the other twin into the opposite direction.

(It’s a wonder why I’m still not losing weight despite looking after such active boys! I’m so tempted to try weight loss supplements this time…)

So if you are wishing to have twins of your own, all I can say to you is: be careful what you wish for! They’re double the joy but also double the exhaustion :)

    ouch, the double joy will mean double exhaustion so no twins for me, good thing both parties don’t have twins in the families too.

    I don’t think I can handle twins on my own. But still, having twins sounds fun! Hahaha!!

    Despite the “exhaustion”, I still wish to have a twin. :)

    Meanwhile, I have a new article about the ATMOSTFEAR. Visit my page if you have time. Thanks. :)

    Yes, it’s tiring to take care of twins. But I believe the happiness and laughter that they bring far outweighs all the exhaustion. I feel blessed and am truly grateful for having been blessed with them, even though there is no history of twins on my side of the family :)

    And when my patience runs thin, I just remind myself that God won’t give me a burden that I cannot bear!

    Yes, taking care of twins is very tiring, watching my brother and sis-in-law taking care of their twins :). However sometimes i still wish i can have a twin because you make it sounds relatively easy and so much fun raising the twin of yours ;)

    Salfa: You are right. Twins *are* such a blessing and are so much fun. Never mind that it takes twice the effort to raise them.
