So J. called today and wanted to know if she could come by and drop something off. Sure, nothing's happening around here, it's pretty quiet, come on by. And then...
Molly started crying so I changed her diaper.
And Emily started crying.
Molly's clothes had poo on them so I have to find new ones.
But first I wrapped her up and went in to comfort Emily quickly.
Took Molly back to find clothes.
Someone besides me put up the baby clothes; can't find anything.
I hear Cooper fussing.
Go comfort him; Molly still naked.
Scott texts me.
Continue looking for clothes for Molly.
Dress Molly.
Emily is crying again.
Change her diaper.
Mom texts me.
Text Scott back.

Scott calls.
Answer door. It is J. She has paperwork.
Fill out paperwork.
Scott calls again (because I didn't answer).
Mom texts again.
Try to talk with J. over babies crying.
J. leaves.
Text Scott: "Can't talk now"
Text Mom.
Go back to bottle making.
Can of formula empty.
Open new can.
Slice finger open on rim of can.
Grab towel to soak up blood.
Scoop up powdered formula; try not to bleed into formula.

Run to living room and comfort them.
