Long night of day…
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Sunday Aug 19, 2007My husband came in a few minutes ago and said,”Ivy, do you know what time it is?” I looked at him and said,”Yep, its 6:30″ (am mind you) He said,”what are you doing?” I said,”cleaning” He said,”Come to bed, you need sleep.” I shook my head no. He said,”you are going to wake the kids” I said,”Yes probably so. They wake me up when I want to be sleeping.” He shook his head and went back to bed.. So yes.. I’ve once again been up all night. I tried to sleep.
I really did. But my mind was filled with 10 thousand things I needed to be doing. Like cleaning the kitchen. It had to be done. No probably not right then, but why not? I couldnt sleep. I needed to be doing something. Right?
I yawn but I keep going. I can’t seem to stop this am. Later I’ll be dead on my feet. Maybe i’ll sleep tonight then.
The kids go back to school in a week. One whole week. We are almost ready. Still need to pick up a few school supplies and a few more clothing items.. Back to school costs a fortune!
In 2 weeks.. Wyatt will turn a year old.. I can only shake my head at this as I can’t figure out where the time has gone. He is taking a few steps here and there.. He kinda walks sideways.. its pretty funny.. He however claps with every step he takes. Because he is a big boy and he knows this and he is proud of this and someone should clap! He’ll outgrow it soon.. Better enjoy it while I can.
If you didnt know it already.. Kansas Sunflower is in cancun on a much needed/deserved vacation. Only now Hurricane Dean is forecast to hit there.. Lets hope she can get back home before it hits! Keep her in your thoughts!
I can’t believe Wyatt is going to be a year old, either! I started reading your blog when you were pregnant with him! Time really DOES fly!
You’re SO SWEET to think of me! I made it back to Dallas, thank heavens!
I’m so sorry you can’t sleep…do you think you’re anxious about getting everything done before school starts, or is it more than that?
I have had this staying up issue often as of late with my manic poker obsession. I figured to spend more time with my family I would play at night while they slept. Seems positive right? Na, I ended up playing all-nighters and sleeping the day to the detriment of family time. It didn’t even enter my mind until my wife mentioned it. I’m really not observant sometimes. Well anyways, we have come to a compromise wherein I will play for only 2 hrs during the day and keep sleep schedules with the rest of the family. My wife and I think that is a good compromise. I will still occasionally be online at night due to my crazy work schedule, but the majority of the time will now fall on their time frame. I am happy with this as will they be.
