Man, what a night! I'm exhausted! You know, the kind of exhausted that when you wake up you feel sick to your tummy. I'd sleep in, but ET has a dentist appointment. And, I'd take a nap later, but we're hosting church tonight instead of tomorrow and so I'll be getting the house ready for that plus I'm working out this afternoon (that should be interesting! LOL). A wicked storm came through last night. Well, part of it was my fault in that I had a diet pepsi and of course caffeine does weird things to me like make me sleepy when I want to be awake and awake when I want to sleep. So finally at 1:15am (still going to have about 7 hours of sleep at that time, really!) I'm laying down. Can't get to sleep right away. Finally fall asleep and at about 2:30am(ish) am awoken by a really LOUD clap of thunder! Scared the heck out of me. Both HHT and I are up now and I check on the kiddos...B and EB are sound asleep, ET (9) and S (2) are both bawling their heads off. We put them in bed with us, only now, considering the storm is still going, they're pretty much wide awake. Plus, even if they were inclined to close their eyes with the thunder and lightning still going on there's really no way we're getting rest with 4 bodies in a queen bed, no matter how small some of the bodies are. Finally we tell them they have to go back to their own beds. I stay with them for a while, then HHT figures he only had 30 minutes or so till he was getting up anyway so he came and sat with them and told me to try and get some rest. Well, thunderstorms are like my favorite weather, I find them thrilling, and so I had a hard time getting back to sleep while the storm was still going. I think the last time I looked at the clock it was 4am and then I looked at it again at 5am and at 7am. So my sleep was a little spotty. And to top it all off due to TOM I'm up on the scale again. I need to lose 2.4lbs by tomorrow morning to stay in my competition. Not likely. LOL Now I need to try to wake ET up and get him ready for the dentist. Wish me (and the dentist...ever try to work on a sleepy, grumpy kid?) luck!
