WARNING: Grumpy mommy

Just a warning to those who read this, I am going to complain....Man, am I tired! What is it with kids that won't let their parents sleep? Our boys seem to have cornered the market in this area lately. Gray has been waking up way too early the past two mornings- yesterday it was 5:45 AM and this morning was 4:30 AM. It took me an hour and a half to get him back to sleep today. It is not easy to rock a 21 lb linebacker baby when he is throwing a fit. He was not exactly wanting to be cuddled this morning. Normally he wakes up close to 7 AM so this is not a welcome trend in our household. It makes for one grumpy mommy. He did have an ear infection last week but he has taken all the antibiotics so I am not sure what is going on.

Then Griffin has woken us up the past few nights too. Everything from wanting his breakfast at 4 AM to asking me to read him a book at 2:30 AM. What is up with this? I guess he is just waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble putting himself back to sleep.

The worst part is that I am feeling kind of nauseous today. Not sure if it is the lack of sleep or the stomach bug for the 3rd time this winter. I am supposed to do a Habitat for Humanity build tomorrow for our church, so I hope I pull myself together today.

There is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night to a child who can't sleep! It makes me grumpy, too! Here's hoping you can get a nap today!

I feel for you! Our girls did the same thing for a couple weeks right before Christmas. Every night, they were both up a couple times for something. It will get better. It's like they go through phases. Hopefully you can get caught up some this weekend.
