No more talking about sleep. It just screws it all up. For example, my entire day was screwed before 8am. And I can't tell you about it because I'll just jinx myself further. Well, I can't tell you about the sleep part. I'll tell you a little about the awake part.
Charlotte actually tried to refuse to get out of the car and go to school this morning. I say "tried" because as soon as I took off my seatbelt, she changed her mind. I always laugh at that because they don't get spanked. What, exactly, are they afraid of? Me. So, betwixt her crying and Gabe screaming that he wants out of the car, the teacher who was helping unload my kids looked in at me and said, "I'm sorry!"
The nice part of the morning was Claire discovering Alan Jackson's song, "Gone Country." (Start playlist now.) It went like this:
"Mom! She's gone country! She's got new boots! Isn't that awesome?"
[insert Charlotte's bad attitude here]
"Mom! He doesn't believe in money!"
Gabe, "Oooooh, country!"
[more baditude]
The rest of the day until now has consisted of Gabe behaving in such a manner that I am considering throwing him against the wall. I may not be buff, but he's pretty scrawny; I bet I could manage it. I'm climbing the walls. I can't stand this one-kid-at-home business. Sarah warned me. It is worse than I anticipated. And don't even try to help me get out of Dodge, b/c the taboo sleep topic is what is keeping me tied to the house. I don't want to discuss it anymore. It's making me batty.
In other news...
...um...
...well, I guess that's it. Stream-of-consciousness sucks when you are scatterbrained. No stream, essentially. More like puddle-jumping.

I am so sorry that you are so scatterbrained. And for the record, I love that song by Alan Jackson. Too bad Char has a bad attitude.
Thanks so much for the compliments on my blog! I miss you guys so much! :S
On the plus side, only 18 days until NCIS! I wish I could come babysit your kids! I know that has nothing to do with the post, but I'd love to have my girls play with your girls and boy - ya know, just have fun!
Oh and Naomi has a similar thing about punishment going for me. I've noticed that I can do the count to three thing and it always gets her into gear. No IDEA what I'm counting too! Thank goodness I haven't had to get there yet, but i know that day will come. And i Know it will be with Gwen! That girl has a streak! And its coming out!
I wish we could hang out.
Seriously.
I agree that the one kid home thing sucks!!
I'm extremely scatter-brained. Only it's not bc I'm not sleeping. It's all the multi-tasking I've done since I had child #2 and my mom says that's bad for the brain. Hope things are evening out.
I don't know how I missed this post!!!! I totally know how you feel. Not sleeping would make me irritable, scatterbrain, and no fun to be around. Also I hear ya on the one kid at home thing. We are doing that too.
