Mail Haul & Sleep Deprivation

Pin It

I have had a super busy week. The twins are teething right now and everything is out of whack with them.  Elijah now has 3 teeth on the bottom and 2 on top, while Adam has 2 on the top and bottom. Their sleep schedules are also out of sort. As soon as I get one to sleep the other one wakes up. In the past 72 hours I might have gotten 25 hours of sleep myself. 

They look so sweet & innocent.... What? We didn't do anything!

Twins teething coupled with the fact that Keith started lots of overtime this week and went to 12 hour shifts 5 days a week with a possible half day on Saturday has really hit my sleeping pattern hard. 

Now on to the fun part. This week I received a great mail haul! I can't remember the day (sorry) they all sort of run together! In my mail haul I received the following:

Lil Keith's Disney Cars mail box I scored from Disney Rewards!

Ok I am admitting defeat! My house is a wreck! I have dishes stacked up that need to be washed, laundry loads that need to be folded & put away & the living room floor looks like the twins played roller derby over cracker crumbs with their walkers.  My MIL will probably be bringing Lil Keith back today and I pray I get this place clean before she gets here with the crew. I swear I hate it when they come here and I don't have everything at least half way decent. 


The twins are teething now like crazy (they each have two buds on top and on the bottom showing with lots more coming in) & they are literally being teething infants. I am getting no sleep.  I swear they are taking turns sleeping.... one will sleep while the other one is awake and vice versa. There was a 48 hour period that I got about 8 hours total of sleep. 

So anyway, once my MIL gets here and sees the house in such a mess her first words will be: " I don't know why the twins give you such a hard time, they sleep like little lambs for us..."   Ok folks, the key words there are US... she has numerous cousins from the age of 10 up to the age of 20 running around her house just dying to hold these cute little monsters, not to mention their Aunts come by and play with them and take them to their house for hours on end... so you can see how they are not crying or whining, they are being spoiled rotten! I don't have that luxury!  Most of the time it is me, Lil Keith and the twins day in and day out all day long. When Keith gets home from work he plays with them for a little while but then he is off to bed and it is just me and them again. 


Right now it is 3:30 am I am trying to get Elijah to sleep.  I am suppose to be up and on a phone conference at 10 am.... It's Just Another Manic Monday for me here @ LovejoyJunction!  In order to commemorate that, here is the Bangles singing Manic Monday from YouTube land!!
