I’m so exhausted!

Last night we were sitting on our couch at 8pm. We had just started saying how nice it was that we could enjoy the evening with both kids sleeping bed.

Then all hell broke loose!

Emmy started crying and Graem woke up. All within one minute of each other.

Margot stayed upstairs with Graem and I worked on feeding Emmy and quieting her down. G finally went to bed but Emmy was a different story. She was awake at 10pm and when we were ready to go to bed she was still fussy.

Finally, I ended up bringing her back downstairs because she was screaming bloody murder and waking up Margot and Graem.

After singing various country and Christian music to her (don’t ask) she finally went to sleep on my chest - on the couch.

At 2am I had to pee so bad and knew if I moved she’d wake up too. So I just laid in bed. Thank God I heard Margot coming down the stairs to go to the bathroom. She took E and we worked our way upstairs.

Then this morning at 6am Margot’s alarm clock goes off so that she can get dressed and leave for her early meeting.

Of course, Graem realizes she’s not there and wakes up too! Then….you know who wakes up. Yes, Emmy.

So to say the least…we’re an exhausted family.

I’m starting to realize that this goes in waves and typically every third day is a rough one. I think by day three of the rotation we’re all exhausted and it’s the best night sleep ever.

*yawn* Off to get Graem ready for school pictures today!
