A Day In The Life Of A Sleep Deprived Mom

Well, today turned out to be one of those days where nothing goes the way you think it will.  We ordered Kelly a birthday present and it has not arrived yet.  No worries, we're not surprised since we just ordered it from Etsy.

I didn't get to sleep last night until well after 5 am.  Rylie decided, when we got her out of her car seat to go to bed, that it was party time.  Needless to say, sleep deprived Mommy had to stay up then.  We finally fell asleep, only to get up at 9:30.  Yuck.  I've gotten a total of about 7 hours of sleep all weekend, and was so tired this evening that I put Sydney's jammies on Rylie and didn't realize until I had the pants on her and at that point thought it was too funny so I put the shirt on her as well.

I started out the day with a giant mocha and then a nice long shower while Shawn watched the kiddos.  I really appreciated that.




For lunch I made some ham and cheese crescent roll ups and a huge fruit salad with the most amazing cherries and delicious mango.





I think Sydney may be a doctor or a nurse someday by the way she was taking care of her Daddy's hurt finger.



While the girls napped I did my hair and make up.  I have so much hair that even the littlest styling takes FOREVER.



This evening we went to Kansas City to have dinner for Kelly's birthday.  Ben slept on the way to town but Sydney sang and danced, especially to One Direction. 




Dinner was wonderful and so was the delicious cake and the homemade ice cream that Terry made.





Shawn even took a video of us singing Happy Birthday to Kelly.  I apologize, my husband is amazing at a lot of things, but singing is not one of them.



Ben was sharing a chair with Morgan.  I think he was making the moves on his uncle's girlfriend.


Morgan had Rylie on Kelly's bed and she kept hiding on the floor and then pooping up saying "Boo."  Rylie would jump first and then laugh and laugh.  It was so cute.



On the ride home, the sleep depravity had apparently gotten to me, because I started making funny faces and taking pictures.  I did get some pretty ones of the farm land along the way though.






Need Botox?  I think so.  Also, when I'm sleepy, my eyes get a little wonky apparently.



Alright, I've been banished to the bedroom.  Shawn told me I was supposed to be in bed by 9 and while I was in bed by 9, I don't think this is what he had in mind.  I'm going to get some much needed sleep.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Hope you have a great week Liz :)

That's what I want so badly. That's why I blog. I hope that the kids can look back on it and say "Oh yea! I remember doing that now. I totally forgot about that."

Hope you have a great week too.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
