Yes, I do. They're awake and playing---on a Saturday. When do they start to understand the concept of weekends? And that that means they get to sleep in? Oh and when will they be old enough to leave a little breakfast for them in the fridge to get out on their own and watch Saturday morning cartoons? Please someone let me know! I will mark it in red on the calendar!
Both boys have generally adjusted well to getting up early again (I'd just gotten them to sleep till 7, sometimes even 7:30) but I would really love it if they would just sleep a little later on the weekends. 5:45 just shouldn't be seen on the clock on the weekends! It's not civilized if you're no longer a college student. I even tried putting them to bed a little later last night (that's all relative, later is just their regular pre-my-return-to-work bedtimes) but they still woke up bright and early. They're both way more alert than I am; I'm typing this in a virtual haze and in between yawns. DH has agreed to get up with them tomorrow morning...we'll see if that materializes if they wake up this early again. This morning DH is up and out the door to meet a friend for breakfast. Said friend just retired from the Corps and is driving home in a few hours. I wonder if DH'll be in the mood for another early morning breakfast date tomorrow if the companions require diaper changes.
Okay duty calls. Apparently, the jumperoo is not the preferred form of confinement for the baby this morning. I was hoping that he might want to bounce for a bit so I could doze on the sofa. But I think the baby wants to be loose on the floor which means Mommy has to stay completely awake. At least in the jumperoo, I know he can't get into anything.
Sweet dreams to the rest of you sleeping beauties.

Ahhh the joys of motherhood!! So that's why you were racking out at 9:00 am when I called you this morning. HA HA!! Love the new layout by the way ...
THAT stinks. 5:45am is evil. good luck to you and your sleeping in plans for tomorrow =)
We woke up at 4:00 today :( I remember student teaching. Icky! Well, most of it. I do look back fondly at my graduation cap though. I had all my students sign it. That was cool. But no pay and a 7th grader that drank 2 mountain dew's then came to my class was NOT COOL.
Be careful what you wish for!
In just a few years, you won't be able to haul those boys of bed, any which way....
Then they'll be out of the house and you won't have a clue where they are or when they're coming home.
Aah, the sweet ironies of life!
I am with you... I wish I could explain the signifcance of "weekend" and "sleep in" to my kids. But your mom is right... one day we will miss them not being around every minute. Ironic - yes. Your mom is funny!
i know you're really busy, what with keeping up with a family of four, having a job, doing schoolwork and preparing to move and all...but...do you think maybe you could please post some pictures of your adorable kids sometime soon? i'm starting to go into withdrawals.
thanks.
=)
