Why am I so tired?
Oh yeah, because the girls kept waking me up. Here is my night.
10:00 PM - Bedtime
12:22 AM - Julia came in because of a bad dream. Carried her back to bed.
4:51 AM - Keira woke for an early morning snack. Put her back in bed.
5:20 AM - Keira wants more. Put in bed again.
5:52 AM - Sevina woke up Julia and they both woke me. Took them both back up to bed.
6: 27 AM - Sevina is still awake and thirsty. Tried to get her to go back to bed. Not happening.
We are up for the morning.
Julia wakes up at 7:40 AM
Keira has been making noises in her bed since 7:30 but finally wants attention at 8:00 AM.
It's all coming back to me now. Now I know why I am so tired.
Ah, the joys of Motherhood. I know everyone told me I would lose sleep when I became a Mother, but they didn't tell me how much.

Julia - You were such a huge help today. Getting your sister water. Getting your own water. Opening the gate all by yourself. You are growing up so fast. I appreciate it when you see that I am busy doing something else and help me out by taking care of yourself and your sisters.
Sevina - I love your spirit. It can be tiring, but it is who you are and I love you. You make me smile even when you are getting into trouble. You tried to feed your baby sister a snack today and ended up dumping a whole bag of freeze dried corn on the floor. How can I not love you for trying?
Keira -- You put up with so much. Your sisters love you so much and want to hold and play with you. You are so laid back and forgiving of their not so gentle hands. This will make you a strong woman.
You go, girl! That is a productive day, and it is still early

Oh man, Jamie, that sounds like a regular night around here! I feel your pain. Jack routinely wakes up at 4:51 and stays up (and then refuses to take a nap!) Hang in there. I agree though, it totally sucks.
