Blocker Boys On the Go!

     I am fairly certain that duty days come around to corrupt my schedule.  For all my non military readers a duty day is when the hubby stays at the ship for 24 hours straight, and then stays there for a regular work day the next day.

     Some how my 2 young children have figured out how know it is a duty day and just go haywire.  Thank goodness we typically have left overs to eat on duty days because I am not sure we would have made it to cooking mode today.

     My day started while hubby was still home, but I knew he needed sleep so tried to be quiet.  K1 came into our room at around 2am.  I am not sure of the precise time as it was way to early.  I guess he thought it was time to get up because he requested that I get him a blow of cereal. After convincing him he should go back to bed he took a cup of water and laid down.  I shuffled off to bed to try to catch a few more winks.

     At approximately 3:30am K2 wakes up screaming.  Being the good wife I turn off the monitor so that hubby will not wake up.  I go and get the little man as fast as I can stumble there so that he does not wake up his brother.  After all the typical checks diaper, fever, teeth it is verified that he is in fact just fine.  I opted to give him a bottled and lay him back in bed hoping he will return to slumber.  It worked!! I made it back to bed hooray.

     Ta da! It is now 4:30 am and the alarm to wake hubby up for work is going off.  My dear hubby never jumps out of bed.  I think he loves to hear the alarm go off multiple times.  I do mean hear because if the alarm is near him he just turns it off and goes back to sleep.  I now control the main alarm because I will hit snooze so that it will keep alarming.  Eventually he is up and on his way to work.

     Typically I have been working out from around 5:30 am until my dvd is over.  Today however I decided that I needed more than the few hours of interrupted sleep that I had so I rolled over after hubby left and got a little more sleep.  The kids promptly woke me up at 7am.  Then we had things that were already scheduled to do today.

     As we started getting ready K1 was washing his hands in the bathroom.  I have no clue what happened, but he slipped off of the step stool.  The poor little guy landed right on his forehead, and now has a lovely goose egg.  I am sure the forth coming bruise will look lovely.  Needless to say we were late getting across the bridge and tunnel to our scheduled meet up with friends. 

     I know I have previously mentioned the bridges and tunnels in our area.  Since we were late there was no reason to head back home after we met up because the tunnel would be jammed.  So we got back home around 8pm and both boys were asleep in the car.  K2 immediately went back to sleep once he was in bed.  K1 decided however that he felt the need to run around and play with his dog.  So after catching the now rested sprinting toddler I laid down with him for some soft music, and reading on the couch.

     Now I am exhausted, and have no intention of attempting my work out.  I really hope all of you have a great day today.  I am sure once you are reading this our Friday will be going much better than our Thursday.

     So I am sitting here on the floor playing with the little guy before he gets his last bottle of the night. Then it is off to get ready for date night! I finally got him down to sleep after he fought it the whole way.
     Out the door and off to Red Lobster!! We were going to go to a movie, but there is nothing out at a theater near us that seemed appealing.  As soon as we left it started raining, but no big deal.   We got over to the  restaurant, and there is no parking.  Guess what we forgot the dinner crowd on Friday nights last longer then during the week.  So I jumped out of the car to get our names on the list as we were anticipating a long wait.  Surprise no wait for the smoking section, and we are in luck no baby.  So we walked right in and sat down.  Next awesome moment! They are serving endless shrimp plates!! It was definitely relaxing to go out, and not worry about if we would need another bottle or a new diaper.
     Overall it was a great time out with just the hubby.  My bro was cool to sit at home, and just play video games while listening for the kidlet.  Gotta love that the kid has gone to this 12 hour sleeping pattern.  Really it is about 11 hours 30 min, but who is counting!! I really just hope the diaper makes it most nights.  On a rare occasion there is a little leak, but nothing major. 
     I sent the link to the new blog out to the family and friends for a review before I start releasing post.  I think it will all go really well as long as I can get enough traffic.    That just about wraps up the day!!!

Who in their right mind is awake to make a blog entry at 4AM east coast time.  Why the mom of a teething child I tell you.  That is right little Korvin (K) is wide awake.  I have done all I can to make him feel better, and I sit here hoping he goes back to sleep.  I wish there was a magic button I could hit so he would feel better, but alas there is not.  I gave him some Tylenol and a bottle, and now he is laying there watching his light projector go around.  The occasional cry escapes his little mouth.  :( I can only hope for a good day later on at this rate!! Feel better my little Prince!!

     Well I made it to bed around 11:30 PM last night only to wake up around 2AM to my darling husband finally coming to bed.  He had stayed up playing video games with my brother.  Then at 2:26AM my darling son woke up for some unknown reason.  This is completely odd since the little man has been sleeping 12 hours every night for a while now.  I do have to give the hubby some credit he did get up out of bed to go fed the little guy.  Then of course I lay awake until I am sure the baby is asleep.  So around 3:15AM I am sleeping.  At 6:30AM the baby springs to life and is ready to go.
     Why did I have to get the kid that just springs to life ready to go in the morning.  So I get up do our normal morning routine.  Diaper, bottle, playtime, only I cut play time short to trap him in his crib so that I can go back to bed.  Some times I just get that I am a bad mom thought in my head.  In reality I know it was better for everyone that I went back to sleep for a little bit.  We still got everything done in a timely manner.  Made it to church on time, and I cooked a healthy lunch.
     So overall good day I just wish sometimes I could have a day off.
