My Life Right Now

It is 9:46 in the morning. I woke up at 6:30 this morning to feed Addison with the intent to jump right in the shower when done so I could get a good start to the day. I was watching my recording of Last Comic Standing while I was feeding her. Steve woke up and was watching it with me so I couldn't just turn it off when I was finished feeding her. I had to finish it out of a courtesy to the person I woke up by watching it in the first place. So Addie and I snuggled in bed with Steve and finished it. I went to wake the kids up but ended up snuggling in bed with Aubrey for a while. It must be a snuggling day. Steve got up and acted like he had a purpose so he is gone to work now. I am still in my PJ's along with the rest of my kids, except Zac who is wearing green camo pants and a blue and red striped shirt that absolutely does not look good together. I have broken up about 5 fights so far this morning all of which have something to do with my sweet little princess Emily. Zac is going around the house chanting "BIG RED BATTLESHIP" which is making Aubrey scream every 5 seconds. We are supposed to meet our friends at the park at 10:00. I don't think we will make it. My kids helped me unload the van from our trip yesterday and they deposited everything right on the inside of the front door. We have needed stuff out of the suitcases so they are all open and the contents hanging out or spread all over the floor. If someone comes to the door they are going to think we have serious issues. I have book club at my house tomorrow. That really stresses me out because my house right at this moment is very far from being fit for company. I just started reading the book yesterday. I have to come up with something to serve. I think Addison wants to eat again. I have a sinus infection and I just want to blow my nose and get back in bed. It is now one minute before 10:00 and I just keep wondering what happened to all my good intentions that I had at 6:30 this morning.

Allyson,
I know how you feel. I guess I should have confessed this on Sunday Confessions, but I have been sleeping in until 9 or 9:30am every morning. The kids wake up at the same time. We have been traveling a lot, so my suitcase doesn't ever get emptied out. Yesterday Priscila found a sack of clothes (that is where all her underware went!) that was left over from 2 or 3 weeks ago's trip to Dallas. I intend to wake up every morning at 8 at least and start working. You are not alone.

Thanks Kim. I am glad I am not the only one.

I am so sorry Ally! I hate it when I have the best of intentions and they get thrown right out the door for some reason or another.

Truth is, I would sleep until 9 or 9:30 like Kim if my children would too. But alas, they don't. So I am up around 6:45 or 7:00 these days.

Heck yeah, if my kids slept that long you know I would be sleepin' too. I have book club in less than 4 hours and my house is looking much better.

The key is to keep them awake until midnight. Then they will sleep like mine do until 9am! Of course I don't fall asleep until 2am anyway.
