...I feel it's important to document the not-so-good ones.
8:45pm leave Madeleine's room for the third and final time
10:07pm Parker wakes up, give him some milk
12:05am I finally head to bed
1:11am Parker wakes up again, give him more milk
3:20am Madeleine wakes up, Justin goes in and then I get up to rock, dance, and tickle her back to sleep
6:20am Parker's crying wakes me up
6:22am Discover I have a bloody nose (from cold dry air) while getting his milk ready, stuff tissue up my nose because he's really starting to cry now
6:23am Step in a puddle of Maggie pee while walking to P's room, now have one wet sock...have I mentioned how much I hate wearing a wet sock?
6:30am Out of P's room, in hallway cleaning up Maggie pee, listening to her snore from her chair
6:31am Realize we never turned off the outside Christmas lights ($$$ going off in my head)
6:40am Still cleaning up pee (how much can one dog hold?), hearing P squawking in his crib, resign myself to starting the day
And here I sit typing all of this with a small grin on my face. Maybe that's attributable to knowing that I get to drink hot coffee this morning because the kids aren't up yet or maybe I'm so tired I'm delirious. Either way I'm smiling.

Here's to better nights to come... someday... I think... it can't always be like this... right????--J
I've never appreciated coffee more than I do now. The rough nights bring out its delicious flavor. If I can get half of my cup down before Paxton poops himself or squawks for breakfast I know my day is off to a good start. Hoping you have a better night sleep tonight.
PS- So sorry to hear about Maggie!
glad to hear you were smiling this morning and enjoying some quiet before the day started. hope they both slept in late for you!
