Santa Baby...

It's official. I am starting the "Mom N' Dad Need a Nanny Fund." Mom spends all day pumping and feeding that she has no time to spend stimulating our little girls to keep them awake. So when things are supposed to be calming down at night -- our girls are dressed and ready to hit the clubs! If you notice the time of this post you will know why I am about to stick my head in the oven and pray we have natural gas and not electric. The clock just rolled on the good ol' 1 AM in my house and my girls are wide awake!

One will scream her head off for 10 minutes and then relax...then that is when the "twin paradox" takes place. The MOMENT that Allie falls asleep, Brooke gets up and proceeds to scream and moan as if she was being forced to listen to Eddie Rabbit's I love a Rainy Night over and over again. I have truly entered another realm of tired - the "who the heck am I" tired. I just got a quick glance of my face in the mirror and I look like a buffet after Rosie O'Donnell passed through. TORE UP!

The game of keep Dad awake just switched courts...and picked up tempo. Brooke is now quite and Allie is barfing! I am sure this is not a good time to mention that my contract only stated one child. Do I get overtime for the 2nd?

You know what the hardest thing is...that you can't help but feel guilty when you pick one girl up and leave the other sitting in her chair. The one you pick up instantly stops crying and becomes content. However, the other one is still whaling like a beat mule and you can't help but feel bad. Unfortunately for Mom N' Dad you can't play Man on Man defense 24 hrs a day. Zone defense is a bit trickier if darn right impossible.

It is now 1:30 AM - both girls are wide awake and screaming! Mom is oblivious to this as she could sleep through the Second Coming! Bailey just came over with a checkered bandana filled with her possessions and tied to a stick and is making a B-line to the boxcar train that comes by the house every 20 minutes. I am pondering the idea of slamming the back of my head into the corner of the table to knock me out. Unconscious is as good as asleep, right?

Till later faithful friends and family. I have two wonderful girls! Mean it!

I forgot that Mattel made our girls! "Dress Up Twins" in stores now!

Brooke faking it all the way!

Allie checking her watch to see what time she needs to get up for her early morning "Hose Dad time!"
