Exhausted

1/21/2015

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

The theme of today is exhaustion. Total, utter, complete exhaustion. Getting home after midnight last night because of the show meant that I got a little over six hours of sleep last night before getting up for student teaching today. Being in a zombie-like state all day has reminded me of what life was like for my mom when my twin sisters were infants.


Having raised fifteen children prior to the girls coming to live with us, you would have thought that my parents (and the rest of us) were prepared for anything and everything. But having twins is completely different from anything you could ever experience. When the girls were infants, suddenly my mom had to figure out how to do everything double the amount of times. While a parent of a singleton would wake up every few hours throughout the night to feed their baby, a parent of twins has to be up almost the entire night straight. My mom would feed, burp, change, and then lay back down one baby, then feed, burp, change, and lay back down the second baby. By the time she was done with the second girl, it was just about time to start all over again with the first one! It was crazy!

Life with twins is certainly different than everything else we’ve dealt with. We’ve learned so much, and I feel like everything that we experience is now twice as rewarding. Then again, it can also be twice as annoying if they’re in whiny moods! But I really love having twin sisters, even if it’s exhausting for everyone at times.

Do you know any twins? What’s your experience with twins growing up?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
