Two Against One

My life has changed so much in the last ten years. I was a happy go lucky twenty something not too long ago. Now I’m a mom with two kids to take care of. They are a joy. They have also changed my life permanently.

I now have to worry about mundane things like vaccinations. Do I want the kids to be vaccinated? Do I want to wait? Are their shoes tied? Where is the other girl?

I also have to worry about things like private medical insurance. After I figure out who put the peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the VCR, I’m going to get some medical insurance quotes.

One thing I don’t have to worry about any more is health insurance plans with maternity in New Mexico. I love my girls, but I don’t want any more. Yes, you can have too much joy and happiness. You can certainly have too many PB and J in the wrong places!

My girls are eighteen months now. They get along as well as sisters can at that age. That is a blessing. Unfortunately when one throws a tantrum the other wants to help out her sister.

It’s not fair. There are two of them and only one of me.

Like I said, we’re done with the making baby phase. The next time I see a toddler in my house I hope to be researching a Tucson Medicare supplemental policy. My husband is an Arizonian and he’s talked about retiring to Arizona. Although that is really a long way off. We’ve got to go through the diaper stage first and then the braces stage and then the college tuition phase and then after a brief lull the grand baby stage.
