I was beginning to think that the babies had given up sleeping for Lent. They started getting up 3-4 times a night about the time Lent started. Not fun! Thankfully they slept all night last night, though. Hopefully that will continue. Or not.
The weekend was busy. Friday we watched a movie. Saturday I got a haircut, cleaned the house, and had the family over for my birthday party. Saturday night was the worst night for sleep of the week (we were all up for about 40 minutes at 3 a.m. – thanks to Alex). And then Sunday was church, some resting/playing with babies, and church again.
Today is laundry. We are seriously starting to run out of things. I have sorted clothes already, but I still haven’t gotten a single actual load started. Oh well.
I have no other news for the day, I guess. Happy Monday!

This reminds me I need to go change clothes to the dryer. Laundry is never ending.
Hopefully the sleeping gets back to normal. I do not like missing my sleep. I think most people are the same way.

Bah! Laundry plagues me. It doesn’t help that our dryer is the most nagging one I’ve ever heard when a load is done – it buzzes about every 60 seconds, which is incredibly annoying. How is 60 seconds enough time to finish what you’re doing and get downstairs to get the clothes out? Hmm. Sorry for venting on you
I hope those babies decide that sleeping is indeed the cool thing to do. Think they’re teething or something?? Teething gets blamed for everything at our house!

@kellycohan – Oh there are definitely molars on the way. Erin wasn’t sleeping well a week or so ago because of upper molars, and I think Alex is there right now. But having a reason doesn’t make getting out of bed any easier at 3 am!
And I totally hear you about annoying dryer buzzers.

No, it doesn’t make getting up any easier. But, it only lasts a little while longer. Then, they’ll have most of their teeth. By the time they get more, they can tell you their mouth hurts and you can put ambesol on. Which they don’t like, so they won’t tell you anymore!!

@shannahhogue – Wow, molars already?? Is that early? I have no idea…

“given up sleep for Lent.” HA! Sorry, I know it wasn’t funny at the time, but that comment is genius. I now think my son has given up wellnessand independent play for Lent. How holy of him.

@kellycohan – Yes, our one-year molars are here. The bottom ones came in a month or more ago, but the top ones are wreaking havoc right now. They cut through on the sides a while back, but it is the flat part that is currently causing us issues.

laundry day is a long time coming at our house too, and we don’t even have twin one year olds. I’m scared of that day (ok, so twins isn’t likely… but a single one year old contributing to the laundry piles is scary.

@shannahhogue – Ugh. One-year molars. I had no idea there was such a thing. Greeeeaaaaaat. !!
@FlyingCAB – I think it must be an exponential laundry thing… one one-year-old’s laundry is still manageable. So don’t let that stop you!

@Marketer319 – I totally agree!
Shannah, that made me smile. I love that you wit is still strong in the midst of this exhausting season!
