Not Sleeping

I'm not sleeping. For whatever reason every night at 3 am almost on the dot I wake up. Like wide awake. This means that I can't fall back asleep either. Ugh! It makes for a very nonfunctional mommy during the day. 


It started last week when Pilot would wake up and have a party around that time for almost an hour. Now Pilot sleeps right through this time and instead of being able to at least enjoy feeling him move I just lay there trying to sleep. It wouldn't be a huge deal if I had a son that would sleep until 8am but instead I have one of those kids that sleeps super light and wakes up at the slightest sound which means when the neighbors let their dog out across the street and he starts barking and barking and barking, Rex wakes up. This all starts between 5:30 and 6:30am. I really hate that dog and I have plans to put a note on their door begging them to keep there dog quiet. If that doesn't work then I will report them because I have no patience the whole day due to this stupid dog waking up my household. If that doesn't work maybe I will just shot it. (I'm just kidding but would love if it was something that I could actually do both because it would be illegal but also because there is no way that I could actually kill a dog, mine or someone else's). 


Then once you add all the extra stress of starting your own business up and everything else that is going on in our house I really need to get it together. I don't have enough energy to get my own house clean, plan Rex's birthday party (that is next Saturday...yikes), plus because we are having it at my parents house means I have to clean their house too. Sometimes I wish life would just give me a break, let only one thing go on at a time instead of the stress of all these things at once.  


So here are my feeling about not sleeping! I need some now! Hoping my parents will take Rex overnight on Saturday so I can get extra sleep but we will see. If not I guess I will just keep going and trying everything I can to keep moving.

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
