I'm sooo Sleepish

Maybe it's because I fasted all day yesterday, maybe it's because it's the first week back for my students, maybe it's because every night this week has been go, go, go, maybe it's because we still do not have a working toilet, and I had to go to a gas station at 2:30 AM to go potty, or maybe it's because I can hear the wind howling through thick walls (we're under a wind advisory).

Maybe it's all the above.

It's crazy though, I'm not doing the work my husband is, and I'm tired. I feel like I don't have a right to say, "I'm tired!" I've been dealing with the kiddos in the evening though. Last night I took Mica to Jiu-Jitsu. I can't wait until they split the class up! They are doing that next month, but have talked about it for a year I think. The seats for parents are limited, and there is an obvious difference in their skills. See all the kids without their gi? They are all new. At the Y I helped Isaak take a shower, took a shower myself, and had Mica take a shower after he was done with Jiu-Jitsu. At that point we still didn't have running water at home. Now we have running water, but still no toilet. We have a plywood floor now, and a start of vinyl floor. I had to go back to where we got the flooring because one box we had was damaged.

This was going to be my blogging day, but somehow all I've manage to do was stare at a screen all afternoon. I can't recall much of what I've done past lunch.

All morning I looked up topics for the students to give speeches on. Sounds easy enough. My co-worker that is giving an assignment wanted a list of different contemporary designers for the students to look up. Coming up with the first 20 were easy. I spent the rest of the morning trying to get the rest to equal 31. I need ones that are active, and had enough information for the students to research. The teacher I did the favor for has proofread all my handouts, so I owed her one.

What about you? Are you sleepish today?

Oh So Sleepy

Grandma and Grandpa have given up on having Isaak lay down for a nap. I don't blame them, I don't have him nap all the time either.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Isaak looked like this by the time we got home at 5:30:

Oh and it looks like I need to check little man's work with buckling. He insists on doing it. I have to say it's a lot easier to have him do it. The lower belt is over the handle and the upper belt is not in the slot.

Whenever I turned on the radio, or started asking him questions about his day he said, "Mommy I'm tired. Can we just be quiet?" This is coming from Mr. Jabber Mouth himself.

On the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house on Friday Isaak was singing Christmas songs. I started singing along. It was a week after all that I couldn't sing from being sick. I had just gotten back my singing voice (sort of). I was excited to sing. That was until he said, "Don't sing Mommy! That's the song I know. You don't go to preschool, so you don't know them." I tried telling him otherwise, but he wouldn't have it. He was convinced that these songs were his.

Sleepy Isaak

• Isaak was so tired at 10 AM this morning. He's having such a problem sleeping.
• We laid him down to go to sleep at 7 PM, but it's almost 8 PM and he's still not asleep.
