Alarm Clock

By -
Lately our alarm clocks haven't been working. Alarm clock #1 (aka Hunter) has been still getting up at his normal time (6:30ish), but instead of getting us up to help him he has been going to the living room and turning on the t.v. by himself. He has even learned how to get to the cartoon channel that he wants, and how to change to play a video game. As long as he likes the game then he lets us keep sleeping.

Alarm clock #2 (aka Audrey) has been sleeping to 7:30 and once even 8:30! So her crying to get out of bed hasn't been there to wake us up.

Cannon, after eating around 5:00 am doesn't wake up until around 8:00 to eat again.

You'd think that we'd be getting an overabundance of sleep and would be happy and cheerful, but Russell still doesn't go to bed until midnight (or later) and I get woken up by Cannon fussing, sometimes Audrey crying and Hunter getting into bed with us and then putting his knees in my back all night.

So the extra sleep in the morning has been very helpful, but I really wish I could get a full night sleep! Or maybe even a nap someday. That hardly ever happens.

So I'm craby, cranky and just unpleasant to be around most days. One day I even blammed yoga for my crabbiness, but then realized that it was probally just lack of sleep. I mean really, who gets crabby after yoga? Isn't that supposed to be peaceful?

I've only been to 1 yoga class ever and I didn't find it very relaxing. Sorry about the lack of sleep. If you need me to take the kids while you nap I'd totally be willing to do it. I was thinking about taking Audrey to build a bear and I could take Hunter and Cannon too if you want. Only if you promise to nap though, none of this cleaning and cooking nonsense.

Sleep? Oh, Sleep! Where are you?

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
