Tonight, Joel is staying the night at some fancy resort 45 minutes east of the plant. I don't mind too much. It's been quite a while since Joel has had to work crazy hours. I will admit it is getting hard now. Joel isn't off the phone until after 10pm most night. He rarely sees the kids awake during the week. It takes a toll on him too. At least most night, Milly is still up and he can get a cuddle in before she heads off to bed. But this is what we are here to do.
Unfortunately, this falls during Mid term break. I know its just three days, but keeping 4 entertained all day has me beat! And it doesn't help that Milly is weeks into her 4 month sleep regression. I have been sleep walking my way thru life. The main reason behind no blog posts! Normally, I just cuddle Milly and get naps in when I can. But I've had to entertain all the them! They want Valentine crafts and snacks and treats. Plus their time with mommy. Packing Jocy for her ski trip is a battle. She is an overpacker like her mommy.
Tonight, I needed a break! All the kids were in bed by 9pm. I turned on some BBC reality TV and poured myself a Maker's and Coke. Yep, I got out the big stuff. Its been a while since there was a bottle of Maker's in my house. Oh, how I have missed you.
I'm going to watch the rest of my show and crawl in bed and HOPE I get a good night sleep. I don't sleep well alone but I think I'm exhausted enough that tonight it won't matter. And PLEASE let tonight be the night that my sweet Milly exits her sleep regression!!!
