Lists

For those of you who know me, you know that I cope with adversity, complex situations and almost every other part of everyday life by writing lists. On the news that Sandie was pregnant with twins yesterday, I wrote a list of all the major things that need to be sorted out before the birth e.g. what are we going to do about our Super Nanny from the Congo - will she be able to look after all 3 of them when Sandie gets back from maternity leave in May 2011, what about our car - will it need to be changed etc. There were in fact 11 items that Sandie and I will need to agree on a solution for, once she has stopped vomitting.

I have also decided that I am going to write another list....this time it will be a list of people whose immediate reaction is to think that having twins is a fantastic idea and that it's really "cooooooool" and "gen-ni-al". So at 2AM on a cold December night when I have 3 crying infants all waking each other up, this will also be the list of people that I will ring to ask to pop over to give me a hand.
