What I have done/ or what has been done in this household:
* Jazz pooped on dad's side of the bed (okay with me) but peed on my side (sheets must be
washed immediately).
*Jazz peed on the couch (slipcover must be washed or at least removed immediately)
*Jrew played in the bathroom trash. His hands were washed immediately.
*Within 60 seconds, Jrew put his hands in the toilet - I mean Jrew dipped toilet paper in the toilet using his bare hands. (his hands were washed immediately.)
*Thomas took a short trip to Kinkos - meanwhile both Jrew and Jazzlyn took turns crying/screaming until I put one down and tended to the other. (i.e. diapers changes, feeding Jazz)
*Had a very nice and pleasant dinner with our dear friends Rachel and Jason - Thank you Rachel for the invite and the delicious Christmas dinner.
*Thomas had to leave to tend to Christmas Ninjas - I must explain that in a different post. But a very good and self-less reason to be gone a few hour on Christmas Eve.
*Meanwhile - Jrew refuses to go to sleep unless I am holding him - while Jazz screams consistently because she wants to eat. So, I spent an hour (at least) going from one baby to the other - living room/kids room/living room/kids room. You get the picture. Jrew screamed for a solid 15 minutes while I nursed Jazz on one side. Then I went to rock Jrew and Jazz screamed until I gave in an came back. I nursed her on the other side while Jrew screamed his head off again...
*I finally ended up sitting/kneeing beside Jrew's crib to pat him on the back with Jazz in my arms for around 3 minutes when Jrew finally gave in and fell asleep.
WHAT I HAVEN"T DONE YET:
*I haven't wrapped one single present.
*I haven't cleaned one single dish.
*I haven't cooked one single thing for tomorrow's nutritional needs (except Rocky Road candy - can you live on that?)
*I haven't washed any sheets for my bed and this must be done or I cannot go to bed.
*I haven't washed anything else for that matter.
YET - with all of this undone I had to stop and write this post before it lost it's charm. And now I bid you farewell - good night.
Ho - Ho - Ho: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Hopefully.
PS - Here is a very cute picture from today. Notice the blue "breakable" vases on the shelf: Jrew somehow managed to move one of them (base and lid) to the bottom shelf today when we found him about to search the insides of the vase) FUN!

You poor thing. I wish I could come over and do dishes for you! I still remember those days of multiple babies crying at once, you just have to laugh to keep from losing it. Hope your Christmas is merry and as peaceful as possible. Love you!
