I’m starting to understand why I get strange looks when I tell people I have three boys under the age of 5. And work full time. As most of you know, my children do not sleep. Ever. I have no idea where they get their energy. I’ve always prided myself on how little sleep I need but apparently that’s genetic. Hmmm. I did not see this coming. So at 6 ½ months Greyson gets up at least two times a night, on a good night. Just when I think this will be my night, Jackson wakes up with the stomach flu and Colton decides Daddy needs to lay with him on the couch at 3am. Cleared that hurdle Monday. Ok, Thursday, it can’t get any worse. Ha. I drag myself to bed at 11pm and lay there realizing how large my to do list already is for tomorrow. I finally doze off to a 12:30 wake up from Greyson. Luckily after a quick snack he’s out. Whew. 1:30am. Sobbing. Jackson has an ear ache. Seriously?! An ear ache? He hasn’t had an ear infection in years. Tylenol, warm washcloth, extra pillow, prayers. I think he’s out. 3:30 Greyson is ready for another quick snack. 4:30 Colton decides its morning and he’s taking Jackson with him. Mommy and Daddy, sorry, bedtime is over. No worries, I just have to work, pump, early pick up for doctors appts, friends over for dinner and then bedtime starts all over again. Yep, it’s a crazy life. But oddly, I feel fine. I can’t complain. I’m in love with four boys and I couldn’t be more thankful for my abundant blessings.
