Why I'm Cranky

My girls usually all sleep through the night.

This was last night:

I went to bed at 11:30.

2:00 Mckenna is crying. She wet the bed. A rarity. Back to bed at 2:20 after I strip the bed, wash her down, change her clothes and put her in the other twin bed in her room.

2:40 I'm almost asleep. Baileigh starts calling me. She had a bad dream. I think this is a first. She wants me to stay with her for awhile.

3:00 Brooke starts crying. I wait. The crying isn't going to stop. I'm still with Baileigh so I leave her room to go to Brooke's room.

3:10 I put Brooke back in her crib. Not sure the issue but after a few minutes of rocking she is settled. Or so I think.

3:40 Brooke again. This time I run downstairs first and grab a milk cup. I'm not sure what her issue is so I try a clean diaper, mylicon, and gel on her teeth since she has some new molars. I figure one of those may help.

4:00 I flop back in bed.

4:01 I burnt my boobs. I actually did this 2 days ago at the beach...but for whatever reason they are killing as I lay in bed. Apparently my suit was about a half inch lower in the front then normal and I have a small bright red stripe of sunburn. I stumble out of bed and fumble around our bathroom cabinets with some dim light from the closet in search of aloe.

4:05 Back to bed with some relief.

4:20 I think I just fell asleep. "MOMMY". Mckenna. She woke up to pee this time but was a little disoriented because she wasn't sleeping in her normal bed anymore...I moved her after the bed wetting.

4:27 PLEASE, GOD...LET ME GO TO SLEEP. Why can 3 girls who normally sleep 12 hours without waking all decide on the same night to wake up several times!

5:55 God listened, I guess I didn't specify how long I wanted to sleep. Brooke is screaming. Back to her room. Hope she isn't getting sick.

6:09 I wake up asleep in her rocker. She is asleep in my arms.

6:10 I think obscenities as I walk back to my bedroom when I notice the sun is rising.

6:11 I collapse in bed. I realize that even if I fall quickly asleep, Brad's 2 alarms are going to go off in about 40 minutes. I turn my alarm off. I must have been tired...I don't remember his alarms.

7:00 I feel Brad give me a kiss good-bye. I groan and mumble about it being a long night. "Why? What happened?" I want to hit him but I'm too tired to lift my arms. Men.

8:15 Mckenna is at my bedside trying to wake me up with her stinky breath . She crawls in bed and watches cartoons while I manage about twenty more minutes of restless sleep.

8:52 Coffee. Not really helping.

8:54 Throw a load of pee soaked bedding in the washer.

9:39 Blogging about my night while I drink my coffee and wait for the washer. Brooke is still sleeping. I'm jealous. If she isn't sick we're going to the gym this morning. I need something to help me wake up!
