Tandem nursing a success - like 5 minutes ago for a full 10 minutes or more. They were both tired and not really hungry just needed a top-off and a reason to get sleepy. Then the best part was the gush of happy mommy hormones that were released either from the nursing itself or just the realization that it was actually possible to nurse both children at the same time. Gonna go try and catch some zzz while they are actually sleeping, (but of course mid-writeup I had to go tend to a screaming unhappy baby who had flipped over onto his back and had arms flailing.

Also, had lots of visitors today and a shower and an outing-so maybe it was because I was really relaxed anyway.

Yael went on her play-date with her school friend [which included me trying to make calls to camp this morning in my not-quite-awake fog, then an email to the director, and then a followup call to make sure she had actually been picked up and I didn't have to get her at the regular time.] And then they came to our house for the first time ever to drop her off - and that was stressful, but Eran had straightened up a lot before he left for the day and then mom and her entourage of understanding friends were over so they both helped make the bed and tend to the babies and let me be neurotic, cause they understood that this was the first time this classy lady had been to my house. [One of her questions while she was here was if I had enough help - she has a nanny/housekeeper daily] Then of course I remembered out of the blue that I had kid friendly snacks and all mom's friends got was a mushy scoop of ice cream, after they had been at my house for hours.

Really gonna try to get some sleep now, though I need to remember in the future that black currant iced tea has loads of caffeine in it and not to drink it anytime after dark or any time I would like to get some sleep. Have mostly laid off the sodas and coffees lately (not entirely of course, but to a good degree, so said caffeine has a profound effect when it is imbibed.
