I Could have Slept

Carsten had a really good night last night.  We went to the Freshman Rio Mesa/Camarillo Football game and he was pretty good the whole time.  He didn't even whine as much as Micah (and she was pretty good too).  Rio Mesa lost.  So sad.

Anyway, we got home and I put Carsten to bed at 8:00.  He slept until 4am.  Do the math, that's 8 hours of uninterupted sleep.  Unfortunately, I didn't go to bed until 11.  I know - stupid.  Kevin wasn't home & I just started playing with pictures I need to print.  

Carsten went right back to sleep at 4:30.  Without spitting up all over me too! Which has happened a couple of times in the middle of the night.  So I could have a couple more hours sleep until the little girls get up... except that Kevin is gone.  So I'm up at 5:00 making waking Bradlee up for seminary and making jiffy muffins and packing her lunch.  She'll be gone in 15 minutes and its back to bed for me until 6:30 (or maybe 7) when I have to wake up the little girls.  

So my 8 hours kind of shrunk.  To 5 hours and change.  Oh well, there's always naps.

The wind is blowing like crazy right now.  I keep hearing things crashing in the back yard.  It's suppose to be HOT today.  Micah has Jog-a-thon at school today.  I hope they don't keep the kids out too long.

ps.  DANG...  I had to wake him up at 7:30 to drive kids to school.  But he still went down for a nap at 9:15 and is still sleeping at 11:45.

Wow! I have to say I don't envy you. People think having kids spaced far apart is much easier. I say . . . bull! They all have such different schedules. It would be easier to wake 5 kids up (or four) and make PB&J's and send them all to elementary school together. Good luck on getting a nap!

I'm tired just reading about your lack of sleep! He is the cutest little boy around though. Still don't want one! Ha Ha. Hang in there!
