4:57 a.m.
Who started this day light savings thing? Obviously who ever it is did not have children. Before this past Sunday the boys were sleeping until 7 a.m. and that is the perfect routine if you ask me. This morning Levi woke up screaming at 4:57 a.m. and I raced to check on him so he wouldn't wake up Mitchell. Yah, his diaper weighed about 10 pounds and it soaked through to his pj's. I changed him in the dark as fast as possible and put him back down in the pack-n-play in the office on the lower level. Then Mitchell started his whining thing that he does, which I ignored. He fell back to sleep. In and out of sleep I heard Levi, then Mitchell, Levi again, Mitchell again -- still ignoring it all, then back to sleep I went. Finally at 6:30 a.m. Mitchell got up turn on his light, cd player and then ran into our room to wake me up.
Then I have to deal with the early wake-up wrath the rest of the day. We headed out the door to hit the YMCA for the BodyPump class. Levi screamed pretty much the entire 10 minute drive there. Man, I thought to myself -- is this worth it? Well he made it in the child care for 50 minutes, which was way longer than I expected since it was only his second time. So early lunch and early nap where on the schedule next. How can such adorable kids make me sooooo tired? Well, I think by reading about our morning you may understand! Next time you see a mother with young children clinging to her, please smile at her and say hello. Sometimes that just makes my day.

I'm curious why at least two of you were awake so early in the morning.....too much Halloween candy?!?
i agree with you 100%---Sometimes a hello is all we need to hear to make our day
OY! What where those boys thinking?? It's partly irritating, party funny to me because I know our kids don't sit there contemplating ways of robbing mommy of precious sleep, but GOODNESS! Does it ever get old after a while, eh? *lol*
You've been made with everything you need to get thru these challenging years, my dear...including friends who'll gladly bring ya a cup of steaming Caribou (or a cold one of the adult-type...whatever!) when you need it. Just holler and I'm there babe!!
Well...now...I *should* qualify that last part by saying, I'll be there, unless by some odd coincidence, my kids are giving me the same kinda day yours gave you today. *lol* :)
We do our best and that's all that can be asked of us, right? :)
So how was BodyFlow???
Those little buggers...I hope they get adjusted soon so you can get back to your routine of some sleep!!!!! Makes for a very long day for you, even longer than it already is of course!!!!
How is the Y going??? Maybe you can come down to my class someday! :)
