1. I awoke at 3:00 this morning because I was slightly warmish. Broke out a new Bible Study, worked on some menu planning for the next few weeks and tried to chit chat with Paul. A little before 6 there was a great shrieking from one of my children who had wet the bed. I threw in a load of laundry, made up a new bed and tucked the wetter back in, then FINALLY fell back asleep myself.
2. Awoke again after 8 to the sound of war seemingly outside my door, which was my children eating breakfast and Paul correcting them. They were actually in the kitchen. I lay numbly for a little while longer while they whirled and raged around my bed. If I had had the strength I definitely would have put them in a big basket.
3. Early this afternoon we were on a break from school: Eden was keeping me company while I cooked, the big kids were studying animals on the computer and soothing Christmas music was playing. It was the sort of moment that mothers fantacize about – the house was full of tranquil industry.
I need to dash as a little girl just threw a play phone at her brother because he was grabbing her blanket.
This is me kept on my toes.
So sorry about your frequent sleep deprivation. It must be so frustrating.
Glad you could get some peace this afternoon. I love cooking, when the house is peaceful.
I’ve just returned from the grocery store with a record amount of food. I plan to cook and freeze and bake and freeze non-stop for the next several days. Hoping this burst of energy is not only mental, but translates into physical reality, as well.
