Day 106 - Sleeping Children

Today was a really long day. Really long. More detours than yesterday. And two crabby boys. So I became frazzled and when I become frazzled everyone else seems to come unhinged. I managed to get dinner on the table a little earlier than usual. The boys in the bathtub and in bed a few minutes early so we'd have plenty of time to read. And now? I hear the delightful, gentle snoring of two sleeping children. My husband is working late so the house is quiet. I can blog uninterrupted with the sounds of soft sleep. Yawn. It's making me sleepy, too. Ahhh, the joys of sleeping children.

Day 76 - A Solid Night of Sleep

Here I am. Saying it out loud. Singing the praises of sleep. But I love a solid night of sleep. Actually, the need for sleep annoys me. I used to think it was such a waste of time. But now I'm older and wiser I understand the value of good sleep and it's restorative qualities. Since children (and because I nursed for so long to a little nipper-napper) I haven't slept through the night in about 7 years. But last night? I did! From midnight to 7am I don't remember waking up one time. A miracle. And oh, so joyful. Zzzzzzzzz!
