library mom: systematically cataloging all aspects of raising two babies at the same time

Nannerama

co-bedding babies

More nanny interviews . . . and we actually found 2 candidates (nandidates? that is too easy) that we like. This seems lucky considering the high number of unqualified and/or illiterate people that responded to our ad.

We're planning on asking both women to come over and jello wrestle to the nanny victory. Hahaha! Just kidding! But you already knew that.

Our actual plan is to bring each of them in for a couple of days and see which one responds better to the "animal situation" that I'm staging -- either a wild boar in the backyard ("umm, do you hear that snorting?") or bats in the basement ("they won't attack if you throw the dryer sheet in real quick"). Hahahahaha! Oh, how I make myself laugh on such little sleep.
