Hazel came in bed with me sometime in the middle of the night last night. (They don't make a bed big enough for me, Nate, and an extra kid.) Consequently I did not sleep at all. But I wasn't awake enough to get up and move her back to her own bed.
After getting up, doing a seminary car-pool, making three lunches, three breakfasts, two school drop offs, and one child dressed and hair done, I was done for the day and it was only 8:15 am. I so badly just wanted to go back to sleep, get some rest, then wake up and try to do the day again.
Didn't happen.
Instead I spent 4 hours going to the dentist with Toby (6 cavities filled takes a long time), running two errands, doing preschool carpool and getting gas.
I don't function very well on little sleep. I tend to not be very productive and pretty grumpy.
So I plugged Hazel into PBS and took a nap for the afternoon. (Adult naptime should be mandatory.) My children were very cooperative (read QUIET) and entertained themselves.
Woke up just in time to go to a meeting and now I finally feel ready to start the day. Since it's just about bed time, I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to start again.
Thankfully, it is a school holiday.
