Hayley didn’t have school today but she’s just as tired as she would have been if she had. That could have something to do with the fact that she doesn’t get the joys of sleeping in. On a school day I usually have to drag her out of bed at 6:30 am and physically deposit her in her seat at the table. On a day off, she wakes up by 7 and is raring to go. Drives me crazy. Can’t she at least sleep until 8 o’clock?

So she was home all day and full of energy and wanting this and that and also those and please please please. On the flip side, Breanna was so stuffed up for the past two nights that she tossed and turned and snored like an old man who drank too much bourbon, so I didn’t get much sleep for two nights in a row. That meant I couldn’t keep up with her and she was ticked. Breanna was also ticked, mostly at her stuffy nose but since you can’t smite your own nose, she took it out on me. It didn’t help that Hayley found a piece of wood and decided to do “construction work” in her room, banging around, right next to the bedroom where Breanna was napping. The nap lasted 30 minutes.

They’ve both been tired and cranky and crazy today and I’m so glad that it’s now almost ten at night and they’re sleeping. In celebration I’m going to make some tea, root around the trick or treat bags for any remaining chocolate, and sit down to watch A Mighty Heart. I write PittWatch and have talked about the movie extensively so I think it’s time i actually watch it, yes?

(The picture at the top has absolutely nothing to do with the entry. I took it at about 7:50 am the other day after I took Hayley to school and I love it so I just wanted to share.)
