So, every night before I go to bed, I tell their Daddy to whisper in their bitty ears to Let.Mommy.Sleep. Sometimes it works. Sometimes, not so much.
Last night the little darlings slept until almost 3! Not bad considering Daddy had to feed them at 9, instead of the 10:30 they were scheduled for (oh, how I'm loving that funny little word schedule). I'll barely touch on the fact that that "sleeping" involved rotating holding Molly and then Emily while I slept in the chair, because, hey, sleep is sleep.
So they all started stirring a little and I got them up to feed them at 3. They sucked those ba-ba's right down and we were all back in bed by 4. But, first we struck up a little deal. They agreed to STAY asleep until 8. That seemed a reasonable compromise. Honestly, I figured I'd get 7 or 7:30 out of that deal and we'd be right on schedule for today. And they would get a sane, happy, well-rested Mommy out of the deal.
Well! The slimey little snakes reneged on me! They started in at 5:30 and we went round and round with diapers and unsuccessful nursing until I finally made bottles at 7ish. Do you think any of them TOOK those bottles?? No, they did not. Barely a drop between the 3 of them. What are the chances they stay on schedule for an 11 o'clock feeding??
The moral of this story is not to sign any contracts while hopped up on pain meds and lack of good sleep.

Hey Christy, so glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you are feeling better....well besides pain and lack of sleep. TeeHeeHee
Don't you know better than to make a deal with a lawyer, much less 3 lawyers. hahahaha I think your right, you are under duress (sp).
Can't wait to see the pictures. Give EVERYONE a kiss from us. We love you bunches.
Hey Christy, it is good to see you back. I am glad that you are feeling better. I think the world scheduled when related to kids should be banned from the english language. How is Jamie and the twins with the trips? Do they help a lot? I take it that you are not going to go back to work
