The Ramblings of an Over Tired Mother!

Well last night my 3 yr old decided that sleeping between 1 and 5 am was not what he wanted to do. So after 3 unsuccessful attempts of "back to bed" and one attempt of "sleep in mommy's bed" I settled on watching a movie, which I couldn't even tell you what movie it was, but which riley loved. So after the movie, it was back to riley's room where I sat for another 15 minutes and he finally passed out for another two hours.

I've decided that my Mommy Super Power is my abilitly to function on little to know sleep.

Today my day consisted of waking up at 8:48, getting 3 children and 1 husband ready for church, after said husband ignored my wish to be woke up at 8:30. Shuffled them all out of the house and to church where I dealt with a cranky Riley who didnt know what he wanted during Sacrament.

Thankfully each child went to their respective classes with no problem, and Riley was even very well behaved during Nursery. I prepared to conduct Relief Society, which I guess went ok. I didnt fall asleep during any of my classes.

I then came home and made home made chicken fingers, BLT and Grilled cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup. Which now looking back seems like alot but everyone ate lots and were satisfied.

Then for the rest of the afternoon I watched the kids play around, we watched some movies. None of which I slept through. Thankfully my wonderful husband offered to make dinner and made Spaghetti because I was starting to feel sluggish. Then I bathed my son, becuase we all know how much fun toddlers have with Spaghetti.
Richard put Riley to bed while I chatted with some friends from church and the Girls, my sisters, watched one final movie before their bed time.

Now I'm alone, as my hubby went to spend the night with my brothers at my dads house, and I can feel such a lack of energy that I dont want to get out of the chair I'm sitting in to go to bed.

3 children sleeping, I know Richard will sleep well with no risk of intterruption throughout the night, and I cant make it to my bed for fear one of the 3 children will wake up and prolong my sleeplessness.

So now with every fibre of my being I'm hoping I can sleep through the night as i prepare to make the treck to my big, empty, lonely bed!
