Delusions Of Grandeur

***

I like to consider myself a patient person, but maybe not
so much today. The children have really been testing me.
Annie pretty much refuses to do anything if it's even
remotely associated with work (despite the fact that I
only asked her to clean her own disaster i.e. her
bedroom). Kiki has taken it upon herself to create as many
messes as she possibly can (a new box of 500 Q-tips on the
living room floor, half a gallon of milk on the kitchen
floor and 180 baby wipes from a brand new box pulled out
and stuffed into the drawer of her play table) and Keenan
won't stop crying. I couldn't tell you what's wrong with
him. He's eaten, he's clean and dry and I've repeatedly
tried to put him to sleep, but still he cries. So, for the
good of both of us, I've put him in his bassinet and he
can cry for awhile if that's what he feels he needs to do.
In the event that I start having delusions of grandeur
(like that I'm such a fabulous mother) I should remind
myself that by 7:30pm I was thoroughly sick of my children
and couldn't wait for bedtime. All of them are quiet now,
so I'm feeling less stressed. It's times like this I
REALLY wish Snookums was home to relieve me.

Last night I tried to go to bed earlier, but for some
reason I just couldn't. I laid in bed for three hours
trying to sleep and it just wouldn't come. I don't know
what to do about it, but I need more sleep. I'm writing
earlier tonight and I'm going to make myself a cup of
Sleepy Time (tea) and go lay in bed. Maybe if I get an
earlier start at trying to sleep I'll fall asleep earlier.
I'm in a bad mood. Ciao.
