How do my children have so much energy when they didn't get much sleep the night before? I don't get it. I would love to have their energy so I could get stuff done. Today I plan to get dinner prepped somewhat while the kids are napping and clean the kitchen. I tried to do the morning dishes today but my son kept climbing on me so I stopped.
Last night it was a nightmare and a half getting both kids to sleep. But we did it! But wouldn't you know it, just as we are laying in bed and relaxing our daughter wakes up and shortly thereafter our son wakes up. So, my husband went to get him and I got my daughter. I finally got her to go back to sleep at 8:45. Then I fell asleep at 9:15. Next thing I know it's 11:30 and the boy is awake. Oh dear lord! My husband put him in our bed thinking he would fall back asleep easily since he's next to us. But after an hour of him kicking me in the face and stomach and arm and waking me up constantly, my husband decided to give him milk to help our boy fall asleep. Well, the milk worked and he was asleep by 12:45. So I finally got to get some peaceful sleep without him kicking me finally. That sleep was very short lived because at 1:00, our little girl woke up. I honestly wish both of my kids would sleep all night! But I got up to get her back to sleep and I managed to go back to bed at 2:15. Then at 3:00, she woke up again. This time my husband got her and brought her in our room to sleep. But then at 5:30 my husband's alarm clock went off.
And that's how my night was last night. I am beyond exhausted and my coffee didn't work because I'm still tired. But the good news is that today my daughter has been so pleasant to me. She hasn't yelled at me, she listens to me on everything I have said so far, and she is being nice to her brother.
Tonight for dinner I am making lemon chicken with asparagus. What about you?
