A night in my sleepless-ish life

I need sleep. It's true, I need sleep, as much sleep as I can get. Which happens to not be much. 

My two older kids both slept through the night at 3 months old. They both slept from 8 pm until 4-5 am which was right at the time I had to get up to get ready for work. It was awesome! So, naturally, I assumed the same from Miss Charlie girl. No can do, says Charlie. Here we are at 7 months still waking and fussing all night. I've given in to the pacifier. Which has worked WONDERS. But she still wakes and needs a helping hand putting it back in her mouth. And then there's Mr. Ben...Ohhh Mr. Ben, you are loved for sure. Ben has been waking up between 2 and 4 am to sleep with me. This normally would not be a problem, however, at this point he has already gone pee and not in the toilet. So, sometimes, I get up, change him, change the blankets and sit next to him until I think he is asleep. Then he continues to come back toward my room and we repeat the sit and wait a couple times. Some may be wondering where my husband is. Well,eventually my husband gets up sends him to his room and Ben is never heard from again. But poor Ben I think, then I quickly remember I'm tired so I try to close my eyes, just in time for my alarm to go off. Ugh! I need sleep!

Oh and just to add to the fun, I'll be on a 24 hour duty on Thursday. 

They definitely don't want you sleeping there. 

This is my unamused, still needing sleep look. 

Always the hardest part...The Title

Writing is an outlet for me. It's an opportunity to form my words and change my words without "saying" something that could leave someone upset at something misspoken. I love to write. I've written in multiple fashions but it seems the title is always where I find myself stuck. WHAT?!?! I have to name my words? Ha! Not likely. These words can not be tamed or summarized.

In any case. Now that we've learned that my titles will not be sufficient and solely added for the purpose of publishing a post, let's move on. If you've looked around you'll find my posting is sporadic at best, I've decided to attempt to write a bit more frequently because I have a lot going on right now and, as we've already covered, writing is an outlet for me.

Not much has changed in my life. I've added a kid, so that's cool. We live in Alaska now, per my awesome job. My husband had to settle for his Associate of Arts degree in Graphic Design also per my job. Yay, him. On a related note, anyone need a freelancing graphic designer? He's all kinds of awesome. The kids are a chip off the old block, awesome. Ady, Ben and Charlie light up my world. Which, if you are familiar with the Anchorage, Alaska area you already know, will come in handy in the winter months.

We'll move on with specifics later, but until then, whats going on in your life? Let's get interactive.
