Today was just another day. Usual stuff, we had a great doctors appt w/good stuff to report (if I have time I will share it tonight, otherwise I will share it tomorrow) but other than that really it was just plain Jane day.
At 3:00 I realized Callum is still asleep, Rachel is getting tired, and Harmon will also be going down for his nap. If I timed it all masterfully I might have 15 minutes to myself until a 4:00 appt came to the house.
3:05 Cally woke up at but that was doable, 2 were going down, all was not lost!
3:10 or so I was rocking Rachel when Cally started SCREAMING bloody murder (he was constipated again). This woke up Rachel. She was wired... so now I have an upset kid and wide awake kid. So I put her in her crib hoping she would just fall asleep.
3:25 After getting nowhere comforting Cally and having the lovely pleasure of putting in a suppository. It was time to put Harm down. He was excited. He went right to bed, kissed me good nap, and said "night night".
3:30 After still getting nowhere comforting Cally, Rachel began to scream. Now I started to worry b/c I was suddenly outnumbered but at least Harm was down.
3:45 Harm began to scream and of course I had gotten no where comforting two twins who were each PO'd for different reasons so I go and check on Harmon... THIS IS WHEN I ALMOST DIED... the boy was covered in poop. He had for the first time ever taken his diaper off and decided to play in a poopy diaper rather than tell me he had pooped. The good thing is that he hated this feeling and was deeply disturbed.
Just a recap... so now I have a tot covered in poop, another child who can't poop and is beyond comfort, and an overtired little princess, w/a 4 o'clock coming in about 10 mins. So when my 4:00 came I had Harmon in the tub, Cally just had a 2nd suppository, and Rachel was still PO'd.
It all worked out. I got the room cleaned, Harmo dressed and ready for night night, Cally did poop, but there was one last piece of drama... I had accidently put Rach in Cally's crib and Cally in her crib which is bad b/c Cally's crib hasn't been lowered... right when I was picking up a fallen pacifier under the crib I saw Rachel falling out... but I got her before anything happend!!!! So alas, all is well that ends well.
No I didn't get 10 mins to myself this afternoon (which I rarely do) but I did have a good appt. once it got started. Days like this though make me think maybe I should have my nanny a little later in the day, b/c man when you are outnumbered by 3 in 2 yrs, THEY CAN REALLY KICK YOUR BOOTY!!!!

Joy in the journey. Just keep telling yourself that. You will read this blog one day far in the future and marvel at your skills, and long for it all back. And good catch, Momma! So glad no one was hurt, and all survived, and I think you have the rights to all poop stories this week! As I said before, just move closer and we can go to the park for sanity with our little ones.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Good thing they are so cute! My twins never nap at the same time! I always have one up, and usually PO'd! We'll miss this some day!
