I'm doing laundry, showering, posting letters, writing a letter, doing some online shopping, cleaning the fish bowl, cleaning the downstairs loo and my bathroom, making all the beds, making 4 phonecalls, cooking sweet and sour, and setting up Play Doh for when my explosion children get back in an effort to busy them so they stop squabbling, and washing the kitchen floor. And I'm nipping in to say hello!
Ooogs, you posted about settling twins at different times. My DP worked away for the first 3 years of my DTs lives, teatime and bedtime was my worst time! Remind me of age again? Sorry, I forget all the time what age everyones DTs are.
I had that too, one needing to sleep and both being desperate for me and DD1 watching telly. Its such a juggle. I did various things and for a while what worked was.....being all in the same room, DD1 on my bed watching CBeebies or other, one DT in a babywalker for damage limitation (can't read the phone wires or the lamps properly and I used it primarily for this purpose once they had learned to walk), balloons for batting about when that one gets bored or a big supply of things they don't usually get to touch (purses!), then swap around. I found that stage didn't last too long as they do begin to lose that desperation for bedtime milk. I will try to think what else I did.
