30-something mama, wife, professional, runner-wannabe

My world is like no other. I'm as imperfect as they come, but I won't stop striving for that unattainable perfection. And yes, it becomes my downfall more often than I'd like. But I'm human and I really do have a great life, so I try to keep that in perspective (ok, at least somewhere within my peripheral vision anyway).

Tag team back again!

So, do you ever think your kids conspire against you?  Even if one of them can't really talk yet?  I think my kids conspire to not let me get any sleep.  They tag team me. Truly.  For the first few nights of this week Lucas was the one crying out & waking me up in the middle of the night.  Last night, Lucas sleeps all night, but at 4am I hear, "Mommy!  ....  Mommy!"  coming from Jocelyn's room.  Her leg hurt (growing pains).  So, in a clouded huff I stumbled to the kitchen, poured the 2 teaspoons of Tylenol necessary, a small glass of milk & stumbled back to her room.  Gave her the meds & drink, chastised her for waking up & told her to go back to sleep as she turned on her tv.  Annoyed, I then tossed and turned for about 45 minutes while telling the dog multiple times to get off the bed (oh yeah, one 6'3" adult, one 5'4" adult & one 100lb Labrador do not fit well in a queen size bed...just in case anyone was wondering).  I finally fell asleep only to be shot out of bed when the alarm went off at 6am.  Yes, wonderful start to my day.

The day.....the meat & potatoes.....eh, same 'ol, same 'ol.  So much going on at work.  I feel so behind & so buried.  I hate that feeling.  I have over 600 emails in my inbox.  Unheard of for me.  It drives me nuts.  But, tomorrow is another day right?!  Yeah, that optimistic junk only gets me so far.  lol

We ordered in for dinner because I had to stay later for work and now, at almost 8:00pm we're all in our jammies watching 'Garfield'.  Jocelyn wants to play a game of Mastermind.....time for some fun! :)
