keep rollin rollin rollin
Rachel can roll over now. I am sure she has been doing it at daycare all week, but they never tell you these things. They want you to think you saw it first. I would have rather known, though; because the first roll happened while she was in the crib with her sister. Anya started to scream and we came in to find Rachel on top of her. Poor Anya.
Archie is an alarm. He howls all the time now. Whenever a baby is in any distress, he stands near her and just roooos. Roooooooo! I think it is more for his sanity then theirs, though. I think he is saying, that crying baby is stressing me out! Poor Archie.
I saw a picture of Philip Seymour Hoffman in the new Entertainment Weekly. He looks remarkabley like Anya. This is funny because Jeff's mom's maidan name is Hoffman. I wonder if Anya and PSH are related. They are both fat cheeked and spikey reddish blond hair. He likes to play a creep, but really is kinda cute. Anya is never a creep, just always cute. I wonder how it feels to play a creep so much. Poor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I am bleaching my hair right now. It is burning. I hate it when you have weird hair and strangers think they can tell you they don't like it. I like it when they tell you they DO like it, but not the other way around. My physical therapist told me she didn't like my pink hair. That a mom shouldn't have pink hair. What if my girls' want pink hair? I said, they can do anything they want except tongue rings cause I don't dig those. Anya has a faux hawk right now. I can't wait til she is three and asks for a real one. That will kick ass. Jeff thinks Anya is going to be painfully normal, though. That will be a funny thing to deal with.
Thank you all for the worries about my accident. I am going to try and not talk about it anymore. I don't want to be one of those people who complain about pain and accidents and things. I don't want this to affect my life more than it has to. Jeff said there are some people that believe that when something like this happens to you, the timeline is changed. And that it splits somehow. That in an alternate reality, I died from being hit by the cab. And in another reality, I jumped out of the way. I don't know how I feel about this. I do like the idea of other worlds and other me(s), though. I wonder if the girls look more alike when they are older, if they will feel like they live with another them. Anyway, how many other timelines yous are there out there? How many alternate reality twins?
My head is burning and I just remembered that I haven't told you my storm a brewing news. Sorry for being so mysterious. I got a new job. I have worked at the same place for 10 years. I am making a serious change. More on that tomorrow.
Gonna go rinse the bleach. I will have a blank canvas.

Glad youre ok. Oh and Im making an obscene gesture toard the lady who doesnt like pink hair. A mother shouldnt have pink hair? "A professional medical person shouldnt be telling patients what to do with their lives." Ugh...

I have that exact same fear, that my daughter will be so normal and will forever be groaning and terribly embarrassed by her odd geek parents. We shall see though... I'm still holding out for a nerdy, bookish child. With my luck she will be a jock.
An old friend referred me to your blog since our babies are so close in age. I like it :D

freaky.... so glad you are OK, btw. i've always had the same theory about parallel realities... it's the only way i can explain still being here after years of near misses, not to mention it sightly diminishes my fear of death. i always get kicked to the reality where i survive and so far i've been lucky enough to be in one where most of the people i know have made it too.... but every now and then i think about some other reality where my family has been forever altered by my death and wish i could tell them that i am fine and alive with all of them in another reality. it's a funny thing to ponder.
anyways, glad you are still in this reality and i'm here too, happy that you are OK.

I was just reading about your accident...how terrible! you know you are a true mom when you get hit by a car and the first thing you think of is the kids...I am so glad you are ok. or pretty close to ok...you should do what you want with your hair. I have a tattoo on the back of my neck. I am older and have kids...but I still love my tattoo! wild hair is good. As a hairdresser all I can say is it is such a pain in the bum to keep primary colors from fading!

Hi Tina,
I'm the one with the 4 mo old twins. I tried to write you back but it wouldn't go through.
Glad to hear you are ok...I hope your new job has something to do with writing! You are so talented!
I've always wanted blue hair, never got to do it. I have to be 'responsible' people tell me...because you know, the color of your hair determines this!? ha. Maybe when I turn 50 I can dye it bright blue for my birthday. ;)
My boy is rolling over both ways. My girl demands to be picked up and moved for her...they are so different! Had their 4 mo immunizations today...not fun! Poor babies!
Take care!

Don't let ANYone tell you pink hair is inappropriate for a mom. we are all allowed to be individuals. after all- there is only ONE of you, and you get to be whoever you want to be. if you want to be a mom with the courage to have pink hair in a world full of boring blondes and brunettes, you SHOULD. and don't wait till you are 50- go for the blue now! ;)
