I’m still crazy sick. Like “NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD” kind of sick. I’m in gross sweats, I have the remnants of sticky infant Tylenol matted in my hair and a red chapped nose. I’m the opposite of fabulous. Jocelyn is super sick as well, so over the past week, when all we felt like doing was just hold each other while goo runs from our faces, we’ve sat at the computer while I chipped away at a blog post. Five days later, here it is. Enjoy.

John and I are on Twitter and we really enjoy it. (Ok, I enjoy it a lot more than John does.) For people who work from home, or are stay at home parents, it’s like a virtual water cooler to chat, share or even vent. (It’s a happier place than Facebook where the crowd is so big there that feelings tend to get hurt.) Yea, Twitter can be a place to express your thoughts every second of the day, if you wish, but it’s also something you can use to archive certain thoughts. I have a friend who is doing a weight loss challenge on her blog and she is using twitter account as a place for everyone in the group to motivate each other. Genius, huh?

Well, other than our personal twitter accounts, John and I are using twitter to archive all the funny, interesting and sometimes surprisingly deep things that Miles says. Life moves so quickly that if we don’t stop and write things down, they will escape our brain forever. (I feel like Ferris Bueller said something very similar to that…) So we opened a twitter account called Milessaid to keep his quotes in our brains forever.

We don’t add to it often, sometimes weeks will go by without anything added, but we LOVE to go back and read them. Even Miles enjoys hearing the cute and funny things he says. My rule, when posting Miles’ tweets, is that I don’t change what he says. I try not to post conversations between the two of us either. I don’t want to clutter up the feed with lots of explaining. My hope is to make this into a book someday for all of us to look back on. We haven’t even been doing this for a year now and we are already so thankful to have such a cute archive of his thoughts. Yay for the internet!

Here are some of my favorite “Milessaid” tweets:

So that’s how we are trying to bottle up a little bit of our guy Miles before we blink our eyes and he’s off to college.
