ONE CRUSTY MOM-E: sleep

If you need me, I'll be digging out after this:

When I'm finished digging myself out of this snowy mess, 9+ inches in some areas,

you'll find me out and about with my boys having some fun:

But not before I tell you that we had a really long night last night with Benjamin.

He woke up a minimum of three times last night. Each time crying and not returning to sleep for at least 30minutes or more. (Time always drags when it's the middle of the night and you have a little one that is crying and you cannot figure out why) Which means lots of switching snuggles from mom and dad. I don't know if it was because he's getting his little canine teefers in, or maybe he just felt like being up with all the snow fall blanking our snow yard once again, but both Bigdogg and I are ZONKED out of our Fruit cake.

As this is being typed smells of turkey bacon and scrambled eggs are coming from the kitchen, and sadly, all I can think about is climbing back into my bed to catch up on my zzzzzz's.

However, I am the type that once I'm up, I'm up, and I've never been much of a sleeper, even though today I am just sluggish and dragging. But we have things to do, sermons to listen to, places to shovel, hills to sled down on, and to finish it all up with a visit to see a very very real looking Santa at Yorktown Mall, in Lombard Illinois. Feel free to join us if you'd like. You'll find me near the tree house and Bigdogg near the train.

Finally, the awards of the day!
