Agnes isn’t sleeping through the night just yet, so I’m catching broken hours of sleep when I can. This morning she was up at midnight and right around 5:30 a.m. Usually it is just Agnes and I downstairs during the night and early hours, but this morning I had to put my mommy multi-tasking skills to the test.

Right at 6:00 a.m. when Agnes was blissfully eating her bottle, I could hear Dylan crying and running through the hallway upstairs. I knew something was up, and poor Dylan had an evil bloody nose. I stopped feeding Agnes, and put her in her papasan chair, and went upstairs to get Dylan. He was very upset, which made the bleeding even worse.

I got him downstairs and on the couch, I then picked up Agnes to finish her feeding. So I’ve got one hand pinching Dylan’s nose, so the bleeding will stop, and the other hand I’ve got Agnes eating from her bottle again. Then I hear Thade….

Thade had noticed the blood on the floor from Dylan’s nose, and he started screaming, “someone’s been attacked!!!!!” Not having a free hand at the moment, I holler up “it’s just Dylan’s icky nose, I’ll be up to get you in a minute.” Then Thade said “why does Dylan have to get a bloody nose at 3:00 a.m., I want to sleep!” It was 6:00 a.m., but that one cracked me up.

It started off to be one of those mornings, and I’ve got a whole bunch of extra chores added to the list before 7:00 a.m. I now have beds to strip, and hardwood floors to clean up. Maybe the early risers will crash out by mid-afternoon. It definitely looks like it is going to be a multiple pot of coffee day for this mommy.

The sleep deprivation is getting to me, and cabin fever too. I’ve just got nothing to write about today. I could write about the 5 loads of laundry to put away, and the 6 that need washed, and the shopping list, but instead I’ll leave you with some of my favorite pictures of places that I’m missing…

I love to snap random pictures wherever I go.

How I wish this one was local, but it was from a visit to K.C.

This one too. I hope to visit my brother in K.C., as soon as I can…

I also hope to visit the Day Spa again…

My favorite place to bowl.

Richardson’s Candy House makes the list too. They have the best chocolate dipped caramels.

All I need is a picture of our bed, I really miss sleep right now…

Yesterday I had a terrible migraine, it was so bad that I had James bring home dinner. I also drank 2 pots of coffee to try and rid my noggin of the evil ache. Last night I only got 3 hours of sleep, thanks to 3 kiddos that just wouldn’t sleep. Today looks like it is going to be another coffee filled day for Nico. My head is still hurting, but I’m blaming the lack of sleep. Hopefully tonight will go better, and maybe I’ll get 5 hours of sleep. I just can’t seem to function on 3.

Today the dreaded four letter word is in the weather forecast for us… SNOW! I think it is way too early for snow, we had super warm temps just a week ago, and now snow, it just isn’t right. I got out all of the Winter coats, gloves, and hats, just in case we needed them this morning. I also made a run to the store for the week’s groceries, and did my best to stay ahead of the weather. I didn’t quite make it though, there was a lot of rain as I was loading up the car.

Thade is hoping to see the snow though, he loves it. I’m not a fan though. I think he just likes to wear his big jacket and snow boots. Here’s to hoping that the snow stays away for just a bit longer.
