IN McMama Fashion 'Not me MONDAY'

I love the McMamas blog and check it out often so I thought I would do 'Not Me Monday' along with all the other McMama lovers. So here goes:
I did not put my son in the bath and rinse him off (while at my moms) when he had an accident today because I forgot the wipes at home

I most defiantly did not have my husband get up with our 2 year old at 5:30 this morning even though he had to work today.

I did not try to give my son a leftover hot dog from last night for dinner today because I did not want to make lunch

I did not let my 9 month old crawl on the floor at the restraurany because she was not throwing a fit (my children would never have tantrums anyways!)

I did not not buy my husband chips at the store on purpose becasue I do not think he eats unhealthy

There it is...my first 'Not me Monday' post!

How much I miss my dear old friend....SLEEP

I frequently ask my children if they understand the concept of sleep because I don't think they do. I also don't think they understand what I'm asking them either, but they are only 2 1/2 and 9 months old. Last night they didn't go to bed until near midnight and were up by 6:30 this morning. Sometimes I wish I were the kind of mom who could lock them up in their rooms and let them cry it out....but I can't. The sound of their crys puts me in stressed out mode.
I would do a many things to get 8 hours of uninterupted sleep. I haven't had that in 3 years. Since I was pregnant with the Piranha. Even when my hubby would get up with our son I still had this need to be up to and make sure he was okay and K isn't exactly useful to our Princess since he hasn't mastered the art of lactating. Why ohh why I must ask are us women the ones blessed with the breasts.
You are probably wondering why I am sitting at the computer blogging while my children are taking a nap instead of catching up on some shut eye. My reasoning behind my choice to not sleep is simple.........my priorities are all out of whack at the moment. Which reminds me I need to close this post off so I can go bake some bread! Bon Voyage!
