Bedtime, yet?

I just poured my 4th cup of coffee since 10 o'clock this morning, and I don't think any of it has helped. The boys have been crazy for most of the day, with little pockets of silence, thank goodness. Baduka woke up at around 2:45AM and after getting him back to bed I just laid there, too tired to sleep. I hate that! And then had those moments, where you feel like you're drifting off, and of course, your husband snores so loudly, you think he may be gasping for his last breath. Why did I agree to sharing a room?? I remember pre-marriage LOVING my own space! Why on Earth would I voluntarily give that up? Oh, right, because he's cute, haha. By the time I fell asleep again, Daddy's alarm was going off and I was back at it...
Anyway, in the time that Dizzy napped, and the New Kid drank a bottle, I made salt dough Valentine's ornaments for them to paint this week. I also blew bubbles and played pegs with Baduka, and researched the advantages of weighted blankets calming temper tantrums from an autistic kid. Baduka was diagnosed officially in November, but I unofficially diagnosed him before he was a year old. I swear though, he may have gotten some sort of memo that its official, so he's been crazier than usual. Ugh, doesn't help with my exhaustion today...

Dear Internet, January 19th

I've decided to start a blog, because really, why not? I am the mother of 3 maniacs and my life revolves around them, but sometimes they make me crazy and I need a place to tell the world about the crazy they bring to our life. Our oldest son is almost 3 (no idea how that happened, also I said oldest, told you I'm crazy), we'll call him Baduka. Then there is Dizzy, he's 18 months. Finally, there's the 3 month old New Kid. He doesn't have a nickname yet that represents him, we'll revisit that later, haha.
Today was spent at a friend's house for a birthday party, which means I stopped Baduka from grabbing the cake about 147 times and Dizzy car-napped on the way there, so he spent the first hour and a half clinging to Daddy. FUN! Ha! The New Kid got passed around between all the girls in the house, it was like we went back in time to when we only had 2 demons, you know 3 months ago, when I just waddled and cried about not being able to drink :) AHHH! Memories! Someday I know we will look back on the insanity they bring and be sad that they grew up too fast. Hell, I do that now, looking at pictures from when Baduka and Dizzy were the New Kids. Why did they learn to climb the walls so young??
Well, that's enough for tonight, this vodka ain't drinking itself and I got a big family-football-food day to look forward to tomorrow.
