2am

2am is a time I see more often than I like. And while I understand that one day I will miss the middle of the night snuggles and quiet time, tonight is not that night. Tonight I am tired. Tonight I just want sleep. Tonight all I can think about is how is want to sleep. But alas, Mr Hank has decided that he wants to hang out for a while (usually a couple hours or he will sleep for an hour then be up for half hour, both resulting in little sleep for momma). 

So what do you do in the middle of the night when any reasonable person knows you should be asleep? Here are some suggestions.

*Check Facebook. Read every blog and article people post that looks relatively interesting and then wonder why more people don't update their status at 2am. Those wimps sleeping their night away when I need status updates and new memes to laugh at.

*Do some pinning on Pinterst and make plans for all the new projects and recipes you are going to try. In the morning you will have completely forgotten about them or you will be so tired trying something new sounds ridiculous. Ahhhh my project board will eventually get worked on...

*Pray. I have no funny quips, but do find myself praying every night that Hank will sleep, and that I will be able to handle my tired the next day. By the way this works. While I may get little sleep I actually do still have energy the next day to get up and do life with 3 kids under 4. 

*go through your photos and delete the bad ones or the ones your 2 year old took earlier in the day. How in the world Brynn can manage to get my phone and take 73 photos without me knowing is baffling?!?!

*Watch TV. Honestly I am too lazy to go downstairs and don't want to wake Steven, so I usually don't do this. Plus I am always hopeful he will go back to sleep in just 5 more minutes and I don't want to be far from the crib. 

*Write a blog about weird stuff that you will need to reread in the daylight before posting to check for sanity levels and spelling errors.

*Realize that whining about no sleep isn't cool and you need to buck up! I got this!
