I’m so tired today I’m waiting for my husband to be fully away which I just woke him up and he isn the bathroom now. As I was trying to go to sleep last night my youngest ( 7 year old son). Woke up and was be in stubborn about going back to sleep. He pulled the I have pain here mommy. Which I didn’t believe because he wasn’t complaining before bed and the way he was acting telling me he was pretending. (Mom instinct) Then he said he hear a loud knocking in his room. Which was just the “Alexa Story Time” playing a sound affect to the story that was playing.
So after several warnings to stay in bed and go to sleep my husband went to lay down him so I could go sleep to get the two of the kids up in the morning. One of the two being the 7 year old. I was having a bad night of restless leg and didn’t fall asleep till some time between 3-4am how I know this is because I woke up around 4 something am to use the bathroom. Thankfully I was able to easily fall back to sleep till 6:25am. That’s when I saw the clock and didn’t internal cursing there I had 10 minutes left of sleep till the alarm went off.
I’m going to take a nap today or else I’m going to be cranky.

I couldn’t fall asleep last night either, and probably ended up getting only 2-3 hours of sleep. I woke up a few minutes mites before my alarm went off and I was like Ugh…this is going to be a tough Monday.

@ShyBear88 I just woke up from a much-needed 30-minute power nap!

lol you make it sound like napping is a bad thing. 3 kids at school for 6 hours it won’t last long summer break is almost here. Just because I’m a stay at home parent doesn’t mean I always get the option to nap and such. It depends on what I want to get done or if it needs to be done my a certain time. I was actually suppose to paint the bricks outside but didn’t get the paint shook over the weekend since my 9 year old was sick. I’ll have to get it down tomorrow because now I have more 30 something days to get it done before HOA comes by and fussed again.

@ShyBear88 I do understand how to be a home parent because I can consider myself as a home parent too due to I'm working at home.
