Yes, I know, I haven't written in a long time. I'll apologize, but this won't be the first time. You're not going to hear much from me for the rest of the year. It is too CRAZY around here. With Hanukkah and Christmas and trying to find gifts for nieces and nephews and all the teachers (and with my kids in so many activities, there are a lot of teachers), I just don't have time to put it all down. That just adds to my insanity, because little snippets of text are running through my head all day long. As if I was typing as I was driving, folding laundry, emptying the dishwasher, any mundane task that I am attempting to complete during my day. If only I could type while doing those things, you would get an earfull. The other reason why I haven't been writing, is that the kids haven't really been doing anything funny, just annoying. Okay, it's probably all really funny to you, but to me it's just annoying. Oh well, someday I'll get over it.
Here's an example of something annoying that you will find funny. You know how sometimes you wake up at the totally wrong time but you think it's time to get up so you take a shower and get dressed and then realize it's only 2:30 a.m. and you don't have to be awake for another four hours? I'm pretty sure that's happened to everyone. I'm not sure why your brain doesn't register the actual time when you look at the clock, but you are positive that it's your normal waking time. Well, this morning Amanda started crying. I rolled over and turned off the alarm because it was about to go off anyway, or so I thought. I went to her room and picked her up and started rocking her for a bit. I do that because sometimes she goes back to sleep and sometimes I'm just too tired to do anything else.
After what seemed like 20-30 minutes, I stood up. I turned off her noise maker and grabbed a clean diaper. I took her into my bathroom and tried to get her to go to the bathroom, then took off her pajamas and put on her new diaper. Naked baby in nothing but a diaper. At that point I had not looked at a clock, but assumed it was probably around 7:00 or 7:15 and Andy was late and needed to get up. So I let Amanda wander into the kids' room and went in to get Andy out of bed. It was then that I looked at his clock and realized it was only 6:20 a.m. About 40 minutes before he needed to be up. Of course at this point the damage was done and both Andy and Sarah were awakened by Amanda. So, all four of us were up and dressed by about 6:45 a.m. New record. Charlie was in New York for meetings today so it was just the four of us.
I thought that I had gotten out of bed at 6:45, but I guess it was more like 5:45. I don't even know. All I know is that the girls were extra cranky all day and I paid for my mistake because they definitely needed that extra sleep and so did I.
So, that's all for now, but I'll be sure to notify you the next time my kids do something extra annoying. Yes, I'll write again tomorrow :)
