Sleepy nigh nigh

With the job that I am currently working, I drive around 22 miles one way to work each day. That translates to at least 30 minutes on the road. (I allow for 40 minutes most days.) So this means I have to get up earlier to account for this drive time. I don't get to bed any earlier than I did when I worked here and so my sleeping window has shrunk. Add to that the fact that lately I am woken up at some point during the night to go tend to Lukin, and then again sometime later to nurse Parker. So I am more tired than I have been for a while. Probably since Parker was born.

In some ways, it's become a struggle to get all my things I like to get done each night done before I fall asleep. Tonight was no exception. After dinner at church, we returned home to do hand and feet prints with Parker, then gave the boys baths. By 8 pm, I was nursing Parker and Lukin was snuggled up beside me. I shut my eyes for a few seconds and when I opened them, about 10 minutes had passed and all three of my boys were asleep on the couch along with me.

Needless to say, we are a tired crew at my house. I mean I have always understood why Sonny was tired, with the hours he works, but now, I feel like I am right along with him. Add the fact that Lukin doesn't feel compelled to nap anymore, but needs to, and Parker won't nap many afternoons until I come home and nurse him. No wonder we all doze off during the evening.
