So I've decided to blog for real

As a full-time stay at home mommy (SAHM) of two very little ones, there are plenty of times that I feel the need to share a thought or experience but have no one to talk to ---who can talk back (other than "no-nooooo"). This being the case, I thought I would actually blog so that I can share my ideas with whomever wants to read. And maybe I might even get some responses.
This will give you some insight into what REALLY goes on in my head---scary thought, I know.
If you like it, feel free to return--frequently. If not, that's cool. I don't always like what I think either. You can always just stick with pics of my beloved little ones on my other blog.

So speaking of my beloved little ones...I think they are conspiring to keep me from sleeping.
1:26am I awake to shrieking/crying. Is this my child? Which of my children is it? No, maybe it's the kid across the way, since we do live in our neighbor's front yard and everyone's windows are open. Alas, it's mine and it's Andy. Why is it Andy?! He sleeps through the night! What is going on?!

I trudge down the hall, trying to get there before he wakes Matt. Miraculously, he is a) still in bed (where I put him after he fell asleep on the floor--as always) and b) he still has his pull-up on. All I could assume was that he was cold--since I did put him to bed in only a pull-up. Hey, it's been hot here--don't judge (yet). Everything else seemed to be okay. So after sitting with him for 15 mins, I quietly exit and turn off his fan. I pause outside Matt's door. Do I go in a top him off with a feeding or just creep back to bed? I think (foolishly) that since I topped him off before I went to bed, maybe he'd make it to 4am.
1:43 am I crawl back into bed.
1:56am Matt starts to stir. I again trudge down the hall hoping to get there before he reawakes Andy. I feed him and head back to bed.
2:06am I crawl back into bed once again. Except now I am wide awake! So what do I do? I plan out the rough draft for this post! Yes, a rough draft. Like I'm still in high school English! All I need now is a visual planner like a Venn Diagram or outline (I am a big enough nerd to a)know what these are and b) sometimes contemplate using them). I've been wanting to create a new blog for a couple of weeks, but last night led me to decide this would be as good a first post as any. This is what it's like to be mommy to my boys. This is my REALITY, can you handle it? Ughh....I just Britney Speared my own blog! Talk about pervasive (this was not in the rough draft last night).
2:15 I must go back to sleep!

Anyway, the night continued as usual. A 4 something feeding and then at least one child awake at 6am.

It has been almost three years since I've truly slept through the night. Pregnancy and infancy should be classified as torture on parents. Why hasn't it been included in the Geneva Acts?! Really I love being a mommy but anywhere else, sleep deprivation is considered inhumane. Why haven't my little bear cubs gotten the memo?

So there you have it. My first real blog entry. And a snapshot of a night in my house.
I type this as Andy jumps around naked, yelling "gircle" to Micky Mouse on the Disney Channel...So there you really have it.
