boys for sale

Anyone want to buy them? I suppose I would miss them if they were to go, it might take a while though. Connor dumped a brand new box of Coco Puffs all over the floor and these are the times I really question why I had children! So tomorrow I will be vacuuming up smashed cereal. They are just one disaster after another, I don't think it is possible for my house to ever be clean. They destroy things twice as fast as I can clean. It will probably only get worse once Ian gets older.

Everything seems to take longer/more effort when it comes to trying to get anything done around here. I suppose this blog post is a good example. Just when I try to take a minute to type Ian gets fussy or the boys get out of bed. I am trying to make myself go to bed a lot earlier now, I just don't have the energy to stay up later and by later I mean after 9 pm. Everyone gets along much better around here if we have had enough sleep. I don't want to get through my day relying on caffeine and energy drinks. The secretary at Aidan's school took a look at Connor the other day and said "you must just be exhausted by the end of the day" I laughed and said "try by four o'clock!" Getting up at 5:45 every day and staying up to late took its toll on me this month.

I don't know if this entry is making much sense but that may be fitting. I am tired and surrounded by chaos. Hopefully February will be a better month. I am starting it off with a massage appointment on Tuesday. I definitely carry my stress in my shoulders and have been hurting the last couple of weeks. I started going to bed earlier this week and it definitely helped things. Now if the boys would just start listening things would be great. Oh and Ian is teething but thankfully he has only been slightly cranky so maintains his title of "worlds easiest baby".

One great thing this week was I finally bought a new laptop and Rick is temporarily at a different location that actually has webcams on their computers. We have been able to do a couple of video chats which has been good for all of us. It is sad when you go 3 months without seeing your husband/kids/dads face.

Even though I don't have to be up at 5:45 tomorrow (just by 8!) I do need to get some sleep. We were supposed to do pictures of the boys today and were rained out so hopefully there is a break in the weather for that. I should have some new pictures to share for the next post.
