Yesterday *sigh. Yesterday was Saturday and by 1:00 I felt defeated. The kids won this one.
It all began at 1am Audrey wouldn't go to sleep Joaquin decided to join us in our shrinking bed. They both were asleep at about 3:00am and then the 2 roosters we have began to crow at 5am and the sun wasn't even up! Bella came into our room at 5:30 and said the roosters were keeping her awake.
Then 7am came around and Audrey and Joaquin and Maddie were up! No sleep for this mama. By the time lunch rolled around I was trying to make a simple phone call (you laughing because I said simple? ). As I was one the phone the neighbor kid knocks on the door asking for Parker, I tell the kids to go get Parker, of course they can't hear me because I'm whispering. Then they all need my instant attention by then my husband walks through the door and exclaims the soup is boiling over and why was I letting it boil over? I say good bye hang up the phone, and I sit on the couch. The attempt to make a simple phone call was the straw that broke the camels back. I was defeated.
I pick up Audrey and sat in the warm sun on couch by the window and closed my eyes. Audrey sat still sucking her binky and her warmth combined with sun rays shining on my face calmed me.
