How long can I go on 5 1/2 hours sleep? Two days? Three? I'm so tired, I can barely keep my eyes and mind focused. My body is dragging. I just want to crawl back into bed and sleep, but of course my crawling baby and unpredictable 4 year old send me into overdrive. Can't have one falling off the bed, or eating one of Maisey's many choking hazard toys, or the other jumping on the bed and who knows what else. I look forward to nap time, but the rub is that they both have to nap so that I can too. That rarely happens.
There are only two weeks till school starts, and then we'll see if I'm a master planner, or a train wreck. The summer has been spent relaxing our schedule and now it's catching up with me. Once school starts though, I'm anxious to see if I'll actually get to yoga every week, if the once a month riding lesson will actually happen, or if my children's needs will once again call me back to the reality of my existence: I am here to meet their needs first. And I'm okay with that. That's my job. My life. I just wish I could build some more hours into the day so I can sleep.
