Spring Break

Well, it’s the first day of Spring Break.  Hold me…I’m outnumbered.

I’m also VERY tired.  The littlest boy child is warped when it comes to his sleeping habits and I’m so tired of him waking up in the middle of the night, because even though Jon’s the one who goes and settles him down.  I’m still awake, and then I am awake when I nurse him at 5am, and if left up to him…he’d just nurse forever.  I know it’s not really nursing, but more just soothering, but still.  Josiah seems to be a really light sleeper, and that is terrily frustrating for me and my sleep depreved self.

So anyway, back to Spring Break…..we have two full weeks off, and today is pyjama day.  We are all staying in our pyjamas all day today.  Thereare some nice things about Spring Break…I have the kids around all day and they can entertain ‘Siah and we don’t have to wake up early and get readyfor school, BUT  I have the kids around ALL day and they wake ‘Siah up when he’s sleeping and then they eat ALL day and whine about not knowing what to do and watch TV and play on the computer ALL day until I kick them outside which is ehn they start having glorious fun and really using their imaginations to play, until they come back inside and whine and want to eat and vegetate in front of an electronic box of some sort.  Oh it’s SO MUCH FUN! 

And, Jon is working from 7am until 5pm so that……..we can take the next two Wednesday’s off.

I gotta lot of planning to do before now and tomorrow.  I gotta figure out what we are going to to on Wednesday AND I gotta figure out a way to deal with the food issue.  These kids will eat me outta house and home if I don’t set down some guidlines.  I may go all Supernanny on them and give them a box of food that they get to snack from and when it’s gone…it’s gone….we’ll see.  I’ll figure something out.  i always do.

Baby just woke up from his nap and I gotta use the toilet and them go and get him before he wigs out.  Chow for now!
