I have GOT to go to bed earlier!

January 8th, 2007

So I finally fell asleep last night around 2-3am and the puppy wakes me to go potty at 5am, so I get up, so stand outside while she potties, barefoot in snow. I finally fall back asleep around 6am when Bobby’s alarm starts going off less than an hour later; he was in the shower, he had hit the snooze button and forgotten about it. I turned if off and tried to go back to sleep when the puppy decided she wanted another potty break. As I am coming inside with her, I hear Matthew cry… darn it! Today is my last day to sleep in, tomorrow the kids go back to school and then it is 6am mornings again.

The Wooden Porch

I’m usually up late and my husband gets up at 5 am and the baby and three year tend to follow shortly. Some nights I only get 3-4 hours of sleep. –For a few nights in a row and then boy-oh-boy am I a crab!

Cast of Characters

Me: Heather, thirty-something mama to five wild kiddos. With such a broad age range, I can easily be nursing a baby while helping with Algebra homework. If I ever get spare time, I enjoy technology, knitting, reading, and just hanging out with my kiddos.

Bobby, my best friend and partner in crime for all of my adult life. Ex soldier, turned computer geek, he's traveled the world and then some. Truly an awesome husband, and dad, even when he is almost 7,000 miles away.

Austin - 15. My witty comedian, he can always make us laugh with his great sense of humor. Austin is responsible, hard working, a dedicated friend, and sympathetic to the plight of others.

Christopher - 13. My professor, he always has a fact ready for any situation. Christopher loves math and science and is especially interested in the weather. Christopher loves to get lost between the pages of a good book.

Matthew - 6. My silly little jester. Matthew can make anyone laugh with the hilarious things he says and does. We are easily amused with his "Matthewisms", even as a baby his timing was impeccable.

Sophia - 3. The princess. With 4 brothers, it is easy to see why Sophie is such a diva, but behind all her drama, she is genuinely the sweetest kid I know. She is quick with a hug or an "I love you" and touches everyone she meets with kind words and a smile that lights up a room.

Liam, born 12/28/10. The n00b. Our 5th and final. Lovingly nicknamed "Mr. Grabbyhands", and about 300 other nicknames. Liam is easy going, laid back, cuddly, and sweet.
