I have a lot of skills that I have acquired since becoming a parent. As a parent of twins I have become a master of doing two things at once. I have become ambidextrous. I can multi-task like nobody's business. In fact, right now I am blogging, feeding kids breakfast and watching "Blue's Clues".

When I was pregnant with the Goon Squad I was huge. Once I hit about 20 weeks I was unable to bend over at all. This made simple tasks like doing laundry very difficult. I learned how to pick things up with my bare feet. This aptitude came in very handy when the kids were little. You never know when you might be holding two kids at once and somebody might drop a teddy bear.
