wow…it’s been way too long since I’ve blogged!!!!  too much going on between being sick (all of us), computer problems and Christmas!  last blog I think we had just put up the tree and everything else.  This weekend we made an attempt to take it all down.  Ron got the lights outside, all the decorations made it to my “staging area” today….but the tree is still up.  Figured it might be fun to still have the tree up for New Year’s Eve.  My “staging area”….with all seasonal decor, I have to unpack and pack everything from the dining room table.  Just a thing I have, I like to see everything all on the table and organize it as I pack.  Ron doesn’t think it makes sense…I carry the boxes from the attic, down stairs, and back up (each time).  So tomorrow I will get the boxes out of the attic and downstairs, it will be Tuesday before we get everything boxed up.  Not bad for a procrastinator!!!!!!

one of those long nights… Sofie had been fighting naps for a couple days and then fought going to bed Wednesday night.  Ron had not been getting good sleep because of his back and was passed out by 9 PM (UNHEARD OF!).  I finally got the kids to bed and went to bed myself.  Shortly after, Sofie started crying so I decided to be nice wife and turn the monitor off in our room and take care of Sofie.  I ended up having to take her down to the couch and we snuggled.  Then Ava woke up crying, as I sent her down to the other couch Aden woke up crying.  So I went and settled him down…while Sofie and Ave were crying.  Once he was good, I went back down to Ava and Sofie.  Ava had no problem falling asleep on the couch but Sofie tossed and turned so much.  It was probably 4 AM before we found a comfy position (more so for Sofie than me!).  Then it was 6 AM, and Aden was coming down to wake us all up!  UGH.  I just wanted to sleep!  but couldn’t, had to get up for Ava’s speech class.   I think I have finally recovered from that night, coming from a person who needs at least 8 hrs of good solid sleep a night!  The night probably could have gone better if I didn’t give up the bed so Ron could have a peaceful/quiet night!  He owes me!
