You're welcome You should pair all your desserts with the appropriate alcoholic beverage and then go into business. Everything you make sounds like the best thing in the world. You, my friend, are a genius! I would totally open up a dessert and booze joint.

Not sure about y'all but the 2.5 hr morning nap really screwed up our day. It's 2:45 and J is wide awake. He'll probably be ready for another nap at 4 but I don't like him sleeping that late but there's no way he'll make it to 7 tonight. And DH of course has work happy hour so I'm solo tonight.
All the wine.

Sheesh I feel like I missed a lot. I wish I could say that I was busy working but I was actually talking to coworkers most of the time. I'm trying to get some work done now but it's giving me a headache.
I also now want some jubilantdesserts.

You've given me the idea, name and now a tag line. That's it I'm naming whatever my most popular concoction is after you.

Instead of attempting crib transition #146337853 I think I might wait a bit longer until M's coordination is a bit more fluid and then just do mattress in the floor Montessori style.
I might be crazy though

Ugh. I just lost my temper at W. He had a meltdown earlier when H was trying to put him to bed, so I went in and laid down with him a while. He fell asleep. So then I had to deal with K in my room and it took forever to get her down and as soon as she fell asleep, W came into the room and woke her up insisting he wasn't going to bed. I got K down again in her bed.
So then I get him back to bed and he starts screaming at me and wakes up both twins, so they're all three screaming. And W screams and screams and screams and starts pounding and kicking and screaming. And I totally yelled at him. And because he was just kicking like a maniac I had to hold him down a little (not violently or hard just so he didn't kick me in his tantrum) but since I was yelling at the same time it felt...blah.
I'm like...ugh. I dunno. H took over for me. Parenting can be...something.
Tomorrow will be better...?

starbuck I honestly am not sure how anyone could have handled it better than you just did. I'm so sorry for the rough night and hope it goes smoothly here on out.

tjanca22, what is that? A ginger or spice cookie? I think. I found it on Pinterest and it takes me nowhere. Btw I hate those pins. You can hire me as your creative genius for the food truck. Let's go with some type of spice cookie which will pair nicely with something hot and spiked!

Who knew there was something called a squirrel bar? Chewy, nutty, topped with caramel? Yes please. Currently taking a break from pinning first birthday party ideas to help #jubiliantdesserts get off the ground.

I'm sorry starbuck, I've been there. I had to put myself in a time out today, for like 3 seconds while J yelled at me from her bouncer, B kept screaming 'I'm done pooping, WIPE MY BUM NOW' over and over and over. Add in the whaling of a hungry annoying cat and it was like a goddamn nightmare symphony in here. Awful. ::adds noise cancelling earbuds to Christmas list::

Man, I'm selfishly glad some of y'all have rough days with the kiddos, too. B has been pushing ALL the buttons this week and it makes me feel so shit-tastic no matter how I respond.
I keep asking my mom, "Am I screwing him up? Am I doing the right thing?" She says I'm ok, so we're going with that.

starbuck BTDT. I always feel like shit when that happens. It happens to me more than I would like. I read somewhere that for each time you yell or do something like that, do 5 things to reverse it. Give W a complement, make a joke with him, play alone with him for 5 min etc. I've tried this and it always makes me feel better and I convince myself that O will remember those 5 things and not the yelling. Hugs lady.

Add in the whaling of a hungry annoying cat and it was like a goddamn nightmare symphony in here. Awful. ::adds noise cancelling earbuds to Christmas list:: Ha. If B and C get going at the same time, I literally find myself saying, "Only one of you can yell at a time!" Spoiler alert: they don't listen.

Not sure what the deal is with J but since 7:30 when I put him down he's been up 3 times. And he's legit bawling/screaming. He has no interest in nursing because he pushes me away and sucks his finger when I offer. I can usually let him CIO for a bit but I just can't tonight. As soon as I pick him up he's instantly calmed. Poor guy.
And I'm starving. H asked me at 7:42 if I wanted him to bring me home dinner. It's 9:44 and I have clue what his ETA is or what time I'm getting food. I'm livid. And HANGRY.
