I can't wait to be done with valentines day. I end up having to hound the kids to do the valentines and then they all have to make boxes for them so that is how I will spend this evening. I love having all the kids in bed on valentines night though. Then wayne and I can watch a movie that is uninterupted! and eat snacks without someone steeling them! It's just anouther one of those holidays that I have to push through and I am usually happy when it is done!:)

Sleep? What is this sleep?

I don't think that I have had more that 7 hours of sleep a night for weeks. I struggle getting time without the kids so I stay up later trying to get some quiet time and then when I finally decide I am tired wayne is not and wants to talk for 30 minutes or so. And once he falls asleep, I am wide awake. Then I wake up to the dog moving in her kennel and then one of the kids gets up and that wakes me up too. And then megan or tanner wake up 30 minutes before my alarm. I just need a full nights sleep and wake up because I am rested and not because some one came in and woke me up. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently! Even on sleeping pills I can't get any sleep. Mostly because that doesn't effect anone else and they are the ones stopping me from sleeping. One day I will catch up, but until then I will try to have a good attitude!

Well, Wayne is feeling much better now that he is on his antibiotics. He is pretty much back to his normal energy. Unfortunately, I do not have my energy back. My asthma is still bugging me. Every time I breath in I hear crackling. The doctor said it would be about a month until I was back to normal. It is hard to have energy when you can barely breath! I haven't vacuumed in a week and I feel lazy for not doing it until I realize all that I have accomplished besides that. I moved one of the beds in the kids room downstairs ( Shad and Liam share one or they get scared). And I moved the kids toys upstairs because it is too cold for them to go downstairs and play, of course, unless it is the computer and then they are able to endure. How does that make sense?! We have parents teacher conference tonight and I hope to walk away not feeling too bad about my parenting skills. Robyn says that you will always feel guilty about something after visiting with their teachers. But on the bright side, Liam and Shad get to go swimming to day and they always enjoy that. It is a good fun break for them.
