Having 5 kids I am learning is rough. Lucy hasn't been sleeping great and with Noah at home and another in only half day preschool... there isn't a chance for a nap either. Luckily I am married to the best man in the world because he understands that this girl needs some sleep and will get up early with the kids or take Lucy to sleep on the couch when nights get super rough. He's awesome like that. I have decided that this is just life right now and am trying to just make the best of it since I know too well that Lucy will not be this small forever. The best way is to just laugh at everything and move on. My sleep deprived brain has really done some awesome things lately. Such as forgetting my kids names at times. I keep calling Lucy "lilly" so much that I am considering just changing her name (not really...she will stay Lucy. I will just figure it out one day). I thought I was doing really good at remembering my friends birthday and made a super yummy treat the night before only to look at the calendar in the morning and realized I was a whole week off and her birthday was the NEXT week. She was nice enough to just let it be her birthday anyway. I think she is getting used to my craziness. I got my hair cut the other day. started to walk out her door only to have forgotten Lucy. Good thing I only made it to the door. That could have been really awesome. Tried to use my debit card. Had to type in my zip code into the key pad thingy. Couldn't remember it to save my life and sat there for probably 5 min trying to remember it. The cashier probably thought I was nuts. I had to speak in sacrament a few weeks ago. Got to the pulpit only to realize I was missing a few pages to my talk. That was awesome. This is just a few of my recent crazy antics. One day I think my brain will start working again... hopefully. Looking forward to when Lucy (not lilly) starts sleeping through the night. this is a really old picture of Emma who fell asleep in the playroom. Im way too tired to find the camera to load new pictures of Lucy

I hear you loud and clear! One day you'll sleep again. At least that's what I keep telling myself... ;)
Bless your heart!!! I'm so sorry!! I can't believe you spoke in sacrament meeting on top of everything going on and that you're trying to make things for friends!!! You are amazing that you're doing that on top of 5 whole children!! Don't be too hard on yourself. Your brain sounds about like mine with only 3 kids.
