I got up at 3am this morning in hopes to figure out this whole night shift sleeping thing. The problem has been that I can't fall back asleep on Sunday afternoon so I am usually up for close to 24 hours -- I don't get caught back up quickly and I spend most of my week exhausted. One of the girls at work does this split sleeping thing before she comes back to nights so I thought that I would try. I went to bed at my normal time and then work up early. The plan is that I will be super tired this afternoon when I take my nap so I will hopefully crash for a few hours. Wish me luck -- I need it.
1. 3 PAs are done.
I have 27 PAs to do in total - I think. My personal goal was to finish 6 in the month of January. As of Friday, Jan 27th I had not started any. These take about 60 minutes to complete each one so I have sort of found myself in hot water. I have been trying to work from home and get as many done as possible and so as I type I have 3 completed and I am working on the 4th. It is miserably draining so I decided to take a quick break and remember why my life is SO FREAKING WONDERFUL. Usually the quick 5 things of the day give me a boost of energy to get the rest of my work done.
2. Lunch with the boys
On Friday I had a pretty wonderful morning. After taking Jack to daycare I was able to sit and have a cup of coffee with Mike while we caught up on life. I then headed to the gym for yoga and spin. After spin I had the courage to ask Sharon advice on racing and then I quickly showered and headed to lunch at Forest Glen.
The boys didn't know that I was coming so they were insanely surprised which was great. Obviously we had the same old wonderful time as usual.

Being new to this whole boy scout thing we really didn't know what to expect at the Pinewood Derby. We realized quickly that it was pretty fun. Though the boys didn't have a great showing, they still had a great experience.
At the last minute we were also able to leave Jack with my parents while he slept which was SO SO SO helpful. It made things so much easier and we were able to spend some extra time with the twins. We were also able to spend time next to each other which also seems to be a rare occurrence these days. Afterwards we picked up Jack and headed to Cold Stone to celebrate. Most of the best pictures are located on the big camera but hopefully you can still enjoy these beauties.

4. Owen's dedication
This kid. I can't say enough great things about Owen. His newest obsession is a game called Prodigy. It's a math game from school that is on the computer but it's TERRIBLE. Owen wants to become a "member" which would cost him $9 a month. In January he decided not to spend his money on a Prodigy membership but after talking with Joey at school he felt that February would be a good Month to start. He has started to count down to Feb in excitement for this new membership.
You should see my face. Ugh. First -- I don't let him play the game that much because it is a terribly easy math game. I also want him to play with his TOYS.
So last night we were able to convince him to start learning his multiplication tables since Grandpa said he would buy him anything if he learned the tables. That way Grandpa would fork the bill for this terrible membership.
Yup, you read that correctly -- Owen and I worked on multiplication tables on Saturday night.
This boy is so cuddly. He absolutely loves to hug, give kisses and be in my arms. How can that not be something that you are grateful for?
