Sooo Sleepy

Today I am just down right tired.  Sooo Sleepy but I am gonna get out and at least walk.  It's a lovely sunny day here in Texas. 
It's not just me that's sleepy the kids are tired also.

Last night when hubby got home from work around 7 he had hidden candy that he gave to my son.  At 8pm bed time comes and off to bed baby goes only to wake up before 10.  My daughter and I were about to go to bed when in comes little bright eyed bushy tail rested and on a candy high David.  My daughter tried to go to bed but David was making a lot of noise playing so she came to play too.  It was sometime between 2 and 3 am when my daughter finally was able to go to sleep.  I think she was just to tired to stay awake anymore even though there was a lot of noise in the house. 
I was trying to keep my son as quiet as possible knowing hubby needed to get some rest.  Around 5am David was almost asleep when he heard my hubby leaving for work and went running to get his goodbye hug.  We didn't make to the front yard before hubby had driven off so David being sleepy from staying up all night had a crying breakdown that lasted till around 6am.  He finally fell asleep at 6:24 this morning...which met I could finally go to sleep :)
I fall asleep having nightmares about my hubby giving poison to the kids and me and I couldn't get the phones to work to call 911 and was trying to carry both kids to the neighbors to get help....the medical help finally arrived and we went to the hospital and I woke up.  Not a very restful sleep to say the least.  When I have really bad dreams I tend to sleep walk.  Last night was an all time high (since I started wearing my fit band) for the number of steps taken while sleeping 250 ....(my armband will show the steps taken and that I'm alseep thats how I know how many I take)  Guess that would explain why I woke up feeling like I had been running the whole time I was asleep.

I really thought the kids would sleep all day but by 10 David was up and running but has been wanting to take a nap since about noon.  My daughter and I have been trying to keep him busy as we know if he sleeps this afternoon he will not go to bed tonight.  My daughter was woken by the noise of her little bro playing and although she did get more sleep then the rest of us it was no where near the 12 hours she normally gets.  So everyone is sleepy.   Just down right tired.  And odds are that hubby is tired also...heard him yelling out of his room several times to keep it quiet out there.  I would like to think he's tired enough to stop sneaking candy to the baby at night but I'll just have to wait and see.

Right now everyone is getting ready to go walking and I'm hoping it will help to keep David awake till  at least 7pm or he will just end up taking a nap and then going till the late night.

Is case you are wondering my kiddos home school so the good thing is my daughter didn't have to go to school today exhausted from too little sleep.  I told her we would pick up today's work tomorrow rather than having Saturday off if she liked....she was all for having an unplanned day off :)

The kids are ready for our walk.....so I better wrap this up.

Keep up the good work everyone!
