Setting Up a Twinge

in #family6 years ago (edited)

I have thought a lot about how I think a Twinge might work and what it will look like. It order to keep myself on track, here are some key rules and components. 

Twinge Jargon (made up by me)

  • Twinge- A Twin Challenge, meaning a challenge involving doing something or going somewhere with my twins (currently 3.5 months old). It spikes my anxiety for some reason and seems difficult. 
  • Reinforcements- People I involve in the Twinge.
  • Supplies/Resources- Things I will need to use or bring either for myself or for the babies.
  • Game Plan- The overall plan of attack for accomplishing the Twinge.
  • Win- Completed the Twinge successfully! Woohoo!
  • 50/50- Partial win, but had to retreat. Got close though. 
  • Fail- total destruction!  Okay, not entirely horrible, but now where close to completing the challenge.
  • ReTwinge- A repeated attempt on a failed Twinge. 
  • Twinge 2.0- A repeated Twinge with a twist. It will increase in difficulty for some reason. 

Rules:

  • A Twinge must be an activity that causes anxiety. It is something I have never before done with twins.
  • I must bring the twins... obviously!
  • If I fail, I have to repeat it until it becomes a win, but I can and should change the game plan. 
  • I cannot repeat the same Twinge once it is considered a Win, unless the difficulty level is increased somehow. I can repeat the activity over and over, but I won't write about it here.  
  • I can include supports however I see fit. 
  • Try to have fun even if I panic.
  • Never do anything that could be dangerous! Come on guys, it's not that kind of game. 

What to look Look For: Here's what I'll be posting!

Name the Twinge: I will tell you what the specific challenge is.

Reason: I will say why I want to accomplish the Twinge.

Why It's a Twinge: I will tell why I'm worried about it. My fears about what could go wrong.

Supplies/Resources: What tools, supplies, or reinforcements I plan to use.

Game Plan: The overall plan for how I will tackle it all.

Results:  The real deal! I will tell what went right and what went wrong. I plan not to sugar coat the situation at all. If it is a win, I'll celebrate. If it is a fail, I'll have fun explaining how horrible it was. It is was a 50/50, I'll sit somewhere in the middle. I also hope to post pics. Maybe you'll see something funny and can laugh about it together. 

Sort:  

Sounds fun. How long have you been at this?

I started about a month ago, but still need to post about our completed adventures. I had to wait to get set up on Steemit, but didn't want to wait to start. Thanks for reading. :)

They look like they have grown so much already!
