Hey, I'm still here!

Just wanted you all to know I am still here and still have new stories for you! It's just that we just got back from vacation and all the boys and I shared the same hotel room (hubby didn't want to go shopping with me, my mom, my sister, my sister in law and my sister in law's girl cousin - imagine that!) and I still haven't quite recovered from the lack of sleep I got from sharing a bed with a four year old and a three year old. Ds1 has the uncanny ability to stay up until midnight watching Man VS Wild and ds2 has the uncanny ability of getting up at seven in the morning, on the dot, because we have a free breakfast to eat at seven sharp! Do you know that my ds4 has the uncanny ability to turn himself completely around in his sleep and can still manage to kick his moma in the face? And did you know that ds3 can awaken in the night and KNOW his toy stuffed lizard he got for learning to zip his coat five days in a row at school is missing?

We had fun, but even the coffee I am drinking all day long every day hasn't quite got me caught up on all the sleep I have missed out on. And the mountains of laundry I have....it's scary.

Praise and Coffee will have a new story for you tomorrow and I have one bouncing in my head right now for her and I am sure I'll have more for you soon!

On a high note, this was the first Valentine's day in THREE years I wasn't in the hospital with one of my boys. Hooray! THAT deserved a day of shopping with my favorite girls!
