Shortly after the twins were born I want to stupid Kohls to purchase a giant pair of pants to fit my giant post twin pregnancy belly.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what happened but I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs at the store clerk. Something about the price. I could feel the scream starting and was powerless...I could hear myself but since I had already started I didn't see a reason to stop. There was some shoving of items and some hand shooing as well.<BR/><BR/>I was *hoarse* on my way to the car.<BR/><BR/>Possibly my "attack" was a "cry for help". But really -- I think it was PP hormones, breastfeeding twins hormones, and a lack of sleep. <BR/><BR/>It. Is. Hard. I get it.<BR/><BR/>Someday go back to COSTCO and leave something nice (a doller, a flower, a prayer...umm NOT a child) in the parking lot. The "Spirit" will forgive you.<BR/><BR/>N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-25575470554070537232007-09-25T12:51:00.000-05:002007-09-25T12:51:00.000-05:00There is something about the way a child's screams...There is something about the way a child's screams echo in a closed car.

I must admit that I was relieved to see Henry can be a normal screaming child too, in stead this unreal sweet baby.<BR/><BR/>I almost feel sorry for his bigger siblings who are acting the way they should at their age, but compared to Henry are not very loveable at the moment :-)<BR/><BR/>My brother and I have a five years younger sister who was the cutest en sweetest baby ever and my parents and everyone else never refrained from telling her so.<BR/><BR/>But Holy Holly (as we called her between us) changed into Hellish Holly a few years later. Me and my brother were secretly relieved, because we would always feel so bad compared to her...<BR/><BR/>Now we're all adults and (still) love each other to bits, so it all turned out fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-50879058782672509422007-09-24T15:29:00.000-05:002007-09-24T15:29:00.000-05:00Be careful with Zicam.
