This was my unbelievable evening alone with the girls: I kept looking for the “candid camera!”

About 10 minutes after Mom and Dad left (they’ve been here a week-it was GREAT! and Richey was in class last night), BOTH girls started crying in unison wanting to eat.  We call that our chorus line.  So… I gave Riley her paci and started feeding Reese… then switched.  There was quite a bit of crying, but we made it thru and even managed to “fight off” nosy Cali dog who LOVES milk and LOVES the girls.  Literally an hour later the same thing happened– hungry again- both crying (they had their 2 month shots earlier and didn’t each much after- they were worn out!).  I finally fed, changed, and calmed both down (AGAIN) and warmed up some left over pizza for dinner.  I was sitting on the couch with the girls by me on their Boppy pillows when I bit into my crust and something HARD was in my mouth!  I thought my molar had fallen out!  This is SO RANDOM, but it was a BOLT (as in nut and bolt) that was IN my pizza crust!!  YUCK!   So that thru me for a loop!  The girls were still sleeping (a solid 20 minutes- whoo hoo!), so I decided I needed to pump. I brought the pump out into the living room since the girls were sleeping there in their bassinet.  As I was putting it on the end table, I knocked over my entire glass of water- all over my phone, remote, pump, the floor… you name it.  So after cleaning it up, just as I was “hooked up”  Riley was screaming… and all the way across the room in her bed.  I figured she was hungry again- growing girl!- so I “unscrewed” one of the bottles to give her.  Not to go into too many details… (probably TMI!)… I wasn’t paying attention, but dripped milk ALL over the pillow in my lap as well as ALL over my jeans!  I didn’t notice until Cali started licking it uncontrollably.  So- fed Riley, changed her, put her down, and changed all while Reese was screaming.  I picked Reese up and put her on the changing “table” which really is just a bassinet- she was surrounded by sides– couldn’t fall out of anything and she fell right asleep, so I sat by her, but hooked back up to finish pumping.  In the meantime, Cali noticed this blanket bundle (AKA Reese) moving and she’s scared of it.  She begins barking over and over and will not stop… which is now waking up the girls. Cali then needed to go outside, but it was storming- raining like crazy, which made her hesitant to go out, so I just cracked the back door for her.  When I went back to close it a few minutes later- it had rained IN my house a TON- duh!  Oh what a night- the girls then had been down for about 20 minutes and then Richey came home.  I told him of my evening and he told me I must post it for all to see… rather than get overwhelmed, God is teaching me to laugh!

On that note… here are a couple more laughs: a few things we’ve done is our lack of sleep delirium.

*I was trying to wake Richey up the other night to feed Reese since I was feeding Riley, and he was all confused looking around everywhere on the bed and under the blankets… for some (sleepy) reason, he thought I placed her on the bed by him- ha!  She was actually in HER bed.

*The other night, the girls were fussing in unison (again- chorus line), so I started to get up to check on them when Richey grabbed me quickly and scared me to death.  I said, “What are you doing?!”  and he said… quite slurred, “I thought you were falling!”  My hero…

* I got out the coffee creamer from the fridge this morning and was shaking it vigorously- because that’s what you do… however, the lid was not on… oops.  must have been left off when Richey sleepily made coffee this morning…

 Next post will have LOTS of pictures from our week with Nan and Pop!  Check back… and… pray for our delirium! ha!
