Musical Beds

Sounds like fun? I think not, you all know the game musical chairs, right?  Well last night my kids due to various reasons ended up in a different bed, and some not once but twice.  So it all started with my baby, they all sleep in one large room, and usually Thank God, maybe one has something going on.  Most likely the baby because he only has two teeth, he is 15 months, and I bet the rest are trying to all pop at once.  So usually I just give him his pacifier that fell out, or lie down with him, but if he is super fussy I just take him to my bed.

So last night he let out a yelp and it was quite loud, lucky me, it woke up my daughter, the baby went back to sleep once I put the pacifier in his mouth, but she was inconsolable.  Luckily what usually works is if I ask her if she wants to sleep on the couch, for some reason it is exciting for the kids.  I put her on the couch, she seemed kind of fussy, but when I went to check on her she was fast asleep.  Later on the baby started crying again and I took him to my bed.  Then my daughter got up to go to the bathroom, and then didn't want to be on the couch anymore, but was willing to go sleep in the baby's bed.  Then to top it all of my oldest got upset because he was sweaty, so I changed his clothes and put him to sleep in the baby's lower bunk with his sister, it is a full, so they both fit.  Needless to say, I got no sleep.

My husband took all the kids to synagogue this morning, so I got a nice nap, but it still didn't feel like enough. I got dressed and joined them, enjoyed seeing friends and had a nice lunch.  Then once we got home, my husband went to see a friend, and I felt like I was back on the RV, the kids were in rare form.

I was thinking today, I hope that as challenging as they are now, that means when they grow older they will be angels - LOL - I will just hold on to that to keep me sane.

The older two finally went to bed, the baby took a nap, so I am keeping him up a bit longer, he is hanging with my husband and giving me some time to vent.

Ready for Camp,
One more week of Mommy Camp,
So Looking Forward to School Starting,
Will go with the flow with the baby,
Life Keeps Moving My Friends,
That is another thing that keeps me sane,
This too shall pass,
These are good problems,
and what I say most often these days is,
THE JOY!
