Time Warp

So Elise wakes up at 6:00 am, but it is really like 5am or at least it would have been 5 am had the time change not happened.  But anyway she wakes up at 6:00, Paul and I put her back to bed and since it's Sunday we have to get up and get moving.  At 7 am we both look at each other and say how tired we are and how it feels like 5!  So why do I feel like  I have lost 2 hours instead of just one?

The "big" kids camped out in the living room, in Mason's Cars Bed Tent.  LOL  All three of them on a twin size matress in the middle of the living room floor.  LOL Hilarious.  I hope they got SOME sleep last night. 

We went to bed around 9pm, which of course then we lost an hour.  So Elise slept 8 hours which is a short amount of time for her really.  Girl likes her sleep!  LOL  Except during the day, she eats every 1 to 1 and a half hours.  But I'm cool with that if she keeps giving me a full nights sleep!  LOL

So Paul has been home for the last 2 weeks.  Its definitely an adjustment financially as well as emotionally!  LOL  It is nice having him home, but it's harder to keep the house clean at the same time as being easier.  That doesn't sound like it makes sense. But it does in my head.  LOL  He helps out, but only if I ask him too.  He is not yet too much into the just doing the things that need to be done without the request for them to be done.  LOL  Typical man I guess, but he needs to step it up now that he is home, i can't be taking care of him and all the kids! 

We have taken on some more day care kids.  Still looking for a couple more, older kids preferably.  Especially before the seasons change to Summer.  We'll not have the kids whose mom's are teachers.  The little boys we are watching now are adorable.  It is weird how the kids you babysit on a regular basis, really start to become part of the family.  :)

Ugh!  I am ready to start back up at the gym, I just have to get over the guilt feeling of leaving the kids.  I had it before Elise and now its worse.  Guilt sucks!  Especially since i know that it is very important to exercise and get back into shape for them not just me!

Well I need to stop procrastinating and get ready for church.  I am sure this is gonna be a rough morning.  Little kids like to wake up on their own and not be forced outta bed, should be interesting.  I got them donuts for breakfast, should smooth the transition.  LOL

Well until next time......

Happy Days

Today was a good day.  Busy, but my days are always busy.  :)  We had french toast for breakfast and turkey casserole for lunch.  We danced, we sang, the kids napped, and we had lesson time as well.  All in all it was a good day, I am exhausted. 

I have decided I want to trade my treadmill for an elliptical.....  The elliptical does more in less time.  And if there is anything I need to save on, other than money it is time!

Dakota our dog is on edge.  The neighbors got a German Shepard and that dog barks all day and night.  Poor Dakota is paranoid.  He's barking every time he hears that other dog bark.
