Totall Awesome Tuesday

Couldn't think of a better title so that one is it. Actually, it is a pretty good day today. For waking up multiple times in the night, I had a surprisingly easy time rolling out of bed this morning.

The power went out last night. Just for a moment, long enough to turn off the air filter. Wide awake. Comes back on, then off again. Just as I was getting back to sleep, the power comes on again and with it the light in the bathroom. Awake again. Hubby automatically turned it on when he walked into the bathroom during the powere outage. Forgot to turn it off. I poked him to get out of bed and turn it off. On his way back to bed, he ran into the laundry basket. Even more awake.

Took a while to get back to sleep again. Just as I do, my child comes in. I tell them to get into bed until daddy gets out of the bathroom - getting ready for work. They lay their head on my shoulder and proceed to sniffle their way back to sleep. (Notice I said they went back to sleep. I can't sleep with a child in my bed. Wish it was different as there have been tooo many instances of children in my bed in the middle of the night or at naptime.)

Daddy gets done getting ready for work. Takes child back to bed. Get back to sleep. Child comes in again. Whines that daddy is getting ready to leave and don't want to bug him. I think to myself, why do you have such an easy time bugging me. Daddy comes up and gets child - back to bed. Child immediately pops out and starts whining. Drag myself out of bed and go tuck the child in. Have to tuck the other one in as well as they have woken up during the whining.

Get back to bed and back to sleep. You may be wondering what time it is and if I am just lazy. Well, lazy I may be but not in this instance. This all happens before 5:00 a.m. Yah! Who is lazy now? A bit later same child comes into my room - change diaper mommy! Change diaper and jammies as diaper has leaked - back to bed they go. Back to bed for me also. Toss and turn and get some little more sleep.

Finally, it is a more reasonable hour to wake up - 7:00 a.m. is reasonable for me I think. Wish it was more like 8 every morning. Children come in and wake me up. Get up, get ready, get breakfast, get clothes for children (older one already dressed), get diapers changed, get child off school, get home, vacuum, clean, child home from school, lunch, down for naps. Writing on Blog! Woohoooo!

What a busy morning. Somehow I took time out for FT, FV, and FW on FB. Love these acronyms. Now to get the dishes put away, new load in, ice my back, ready for a child to come over to play, ice my back some more. Gotta go until another day when I make time for this.

See ya!
