I took the Twitter plunge over 2 years ago and let me tell you, it was love at first tweet.

As a wife and mother of 4, I find it nearly impossible to carve time out during my day to sit down and have quiet telephone conversations with my girl friends. At any given moment in our house someone’s screaming, talking loudly, tattle-tailing or singing off-key. So instead of dealing with the noise, I take to Twitter instead.

And talk to myself. Or anyone that will listen.

Here’s a run-down of a few of my recent tweets and the mayhem that ensued.

I really didn’t want another award, but my hilarious friend Pamela at 2 Much Testosterone made one for me anyway. Folks, you’re looking at the first-ever Spermie Soldier of the Week.

According to Pamela, my duties include wearing a fabulous tiara and “kissing the sperm”. I can work with the tiara, but the sperm? Uh, no.

And speaking of sperm…

OH NO HE DIDN’T! (Oh yes he did.)

Have I mentioned that men say stupid stuff sometimes?

And finally, one of the funniest things I’ve had happen to me on Twitter unfolded earlier this evening. It all started with this harmless tweet from @Tzenaki81:

I jokingly responded by saying…

Guess what…It was me! I was taken aback at first, but only for a brief second.

The conversation that followed and the folks who weighed in on whether or not I looked like Nadya Suleman certainly made me laugh. Some thought I bared a resemblance to her when viewing my mini Twitter profile photo on their cell phones, while others couldn’t see the similarities. No matter. It was funny and entertaining nonetheless.

And here’s the thing… That’s the the beauty of Twitter! I’m 2 years in and still amazed by the diverse group of people I’ve met, the unexpected friendships I’ve made and the laughs I’ve had along the way.

The marriage advice, cheesy blog awards and creepy comparisons to OctoMom are just icing on the cake.

*Psst! I’m reliving my first Christmas away from home over at Our Mommyhood. It began with name calling, attempted murder and ended with tears. Do stop on by and be sure to say hi!
