Night from hades

Yesterday I started a new routine. I am now rising early in the morning, just before 6:00 a.m. Early morning is my prime time for mind work, I just have to get my butt out of bed. So yesterday I pry myself out of bed and start the routine.

Mondays are already a long day for me because Heather tutors online from 5:00-10:00 p.m. I watch the kids every Monday night and I go to bed very tired. The problem is we are both exhausted when it is time for bed because Heather has been doing Algebraic math for 5 hours.

Last night at 2:30 Addy wakes up and tells me there are monsters in her room. Usually she goes back to sleep really quickly but last night I was up with her until 4:00. At 4:00 I told Heather I had to get some sleep and Heather went in and they both went right to sleep. So they are conked out and at 5:00 a.m. Keegan starts wailing. Heather can't hear him because she is in Addy's room and I was up again with Keegan for about half an hour.

Not looking for pity, but realizing I am spoiled with kids that usually sleep soundly through the night.
