Starbucks, my new best friend...

I think that the lack of sleep over the past 6m is finally catching up with me. My morning Starbucks drink has just changed to a venti sugar free vanilla latte with an extra shot...yes I am really hurting.

I get home from work and picking girls up around 6:30 after that it is dinner, some play time, baths and bed. Chris and I only see each other in passing. Our conversation is usually “Hold the baby while I go change my shirt” and that is about three times a night. I take Tatum and he takes Emma. Chris usually falls asleep putting Emma to bed so I have to wake him up usually around 10:30 that seems to be the time where everyone is asleep. At that point we still have to clean up the kitchen make bottles for the middle of the night and have a min to ourselves for whatever still needs to be done.

Tatum wakes up like clockwork at 4:45 and so the day starts again...Feed the baby, she goes back to sleep, my turn to shower and get everything ready for the day. Wake up Emma get her ready, wake up Tatum get her ready, if I am lucky out the door by 7-715. Now we are off face the metro area traffic that could take 2 hours on a really bad day...It has to get better!!! I do not even get naps on weekends because there is laundry and cleaning to do and kids that want to play.
Sure they nap but it seem when one is asleep the other is awake and vice versa…

I just wonder how someone with more then two kids and a full time job does it. Props to those people you would have to pick me up from the hospital from breakdown recovery...LOL

For now all I can say is thank god for espresso my new best friend...Yawn it needs to kick in NOW!!!

Have a great day everyone.;)

Oh goodness. Well, I am impressed with you and your two kids! Somebody asked me yesterday if I was going to have another one, and I probably reacted a bit too quickly (HECK NO!). I love my boy but he keeps me busy. And then there are the times when my heart aches for another. Bittersweet!

Love,
Nance

Oh my... what a day! I'm glad my 8-year-old can fend for himself, but I still have enough to keep me busy, that's for sure. Although now compared to you, I don;t feel that busy!
