Such a looooooooooooong day

Seriously, why do days have to drag on when you need them to go fast??? UGH, I am so tired I can taste it. Last night was horrible, and I mean horrible. Don't think I'm exaggerating either, because I'm not...horrible.

I got home from the open house late and Justin had the kids in bed...awesome. I got ready for bed and we watched a little TV and then Rylee woke up. Justin took care of her so I could get some rest...so nice, but of course...had to have Cody join in. He wanted to sleep on the floor...ugh!

Midnight...Rylee's up again, SCREAMING bloody murder. I go in and she's soaking wet. Justin swears he changed her diaper...but I have questions...she was soaking wet, her swaddle blanket was soaking wet, her sheet was soaking wet, her mattress pad was soaking wet...as was her outfit. Yes, outfit, not pajamas, outfit. (He didn't even put her in her pajamas, crazy man!!!) So I woke him up and he changed the bed while I changed her. She was wired for sound...after about 20 minutes she finally fell back asleep. While I was in with her, Justin went in with Cody again, this time he needed water. We both got in bed and at 2:23am I heard a door open. I looked out the hall and all the doors were still closed. Bo was at the end of our bed and she was all perked up...oh crap, I can't wake up Justin because I've cried wolf so many times he just gets mad and won't go look. Luckily, I sleep with a stick by my bed, so I grab it and go investigate. Nothing unusual...until I get to the laundry room. The pantry is open...I look in...I for some reason didn't get my glasses...and I see something in the pantry. Something small and rooting through the cupboards. Raccoon, armadillo, possum, fox, jumbo size sewer rat...all things that came into my mind. But then it does something weird. It talks. It says, "mom, I'm starving." Holy Toledo it's Logan. He's squatting on the floor like a hobbit looking for food. He's totally asleep so I drag him to his room livid for all the fear. He gets in bed and still wants food so I hand him a string cheese. (Which he asked why he had a funny taste in his mouth and why cheese was in his bed when he woke up, funny) So after this scare you think I'm sleeping? Nope.

At some point I fall asleep only to hear that wonderful creature I call Rylee crying at 3:45am. You have got to be kidding me!!!!! She was wide awake and stayed that way until 5:07am. All was quiet for 15 minutes and then she started again. I woke up Justin and he got up with her. She sat with him while he got ready so I could get maybe 15-20 minutes of sleep. Ahhhh, peace...ahhh, some thing's on my head. Crap, it's that other kid! :-) Cody is up and ready for fruit snacks.

So we all get up and around and Rylee is down for a nap BEFORE Logan even gets up to go to school! Some thing's wrong with this picture!!!!

Anyway, I knew if I didn't move all day I would be in trouble. So, spring cleaning time. I let Cody paint while I worked. Doesn't he look so sweet and innocent??? Yeah, right! Here he is when I was in the room. Painting so nice and quiet...

Then, I left...trouble.Rylee woke up at some point and watched me clean. Isn't that shirt precious? Love it!

Somehow I managed to get them both down at the same time for a nap! HALLELUJAH!!! (can you hear the angels singing...I could.) I fixed a bowl of soup, 2 minutes, ate it, 5 minutes, cleaned up dishes, 1/2 minute, curled up in my bed and got comfy, 5 minutes...heard the cry. OH MY GOSH...not again. Yup, Rylee was so awake it was stupid. So we got up and played and then Cody woke up. Let's start all over again with cleaning.

Good news, got the house clean...bad news mom is dang tired. But luckily these kids are so cute and funny, I didn't go crazy!

So needless to say, Rylee is asleep, Cody is asleep and Logan is heading that way. And so am I! Love and miss you all!!! Have a pleasant night!!!
