And I am off to bed. I cannot remember the last time I went to bed this early. But babies seem down for it. MoJo is down. F is at the airport. I am so tiiired. Walked 7.9 miles with my mother this am. Walked about 3/4 of a mile home from brunch and then about a mile out and back to the playground. I got a great mother's day gift (besides the twins I mean). A hefty gift certificate to Silver Moon so I can sustain my almond croissant passion. F is the best and knows just how to show me his love, right through my eating frenzy disorder:) I also got a lovely card and flowers. We celebrated today since he will be gone tomorrow. We all 6 ate out for lunch and had to field constant questions and comments (Yes they are twins, yes they are all mine). One nice lady, upon confirming that I was indeed the mother, said "much respect." I liked that. Simple. Sincere. I am lucky to have as much help and as many resources as I do as surely there are tons of other mothers with more kids, less help, less funds. Much respect to the women of the world on this mother's day eve. We may not rule the world, but we are clearly the superior sex. I would not give up the ability to carry, deliver, and nurture a child for any of the advantages that males have. Rambling. Off to bed. Stay asleep AleVit. I implore you!
