I need a break!

Ok.. so much as I would like for my first official blog to be totally positive that's not going to happen. I need a break! I have 3 kids, who I love dearly, that are driving me nuts right now. I really do love my kids. My oldest Dylan is 9, Paige is 4, and the baby, Joy, is 4 months. They are all awesome in their own little ways, however there is a conspiracy to drive me nuts. Dylan has entered the, I can talk rudely to my mom stage. Paige has entered the every emotion is on overdrive stage. Which I thought we wouldn't get to for about 10 more years, but apparently I have an overachiever on my hands, and Joy hasn't started sleeping through the night yet. In her defence she is still just an infant, everything is still biology. Now don't get me wrong, my kids are unnaturally good kids. Generally they listen well, are respectful of others, and a whole lot of fun to be around. However I haven't had a good nights sleep in forever and no school means no break. On top of all that it is way to hot to send them outside when I need a moment to myself. The other night I finally got to sleep at around 2 a.m. Dylan woke me up around 2:30 with a nightmare. Got him back down. Joy woke up at 3 ready to eat. Got her back down. Paige had a accident around 4. Got her back down. Do you see a pattern here? Couldn't go back to sleep. Finally got tired enough to go back to sleep around 6:30 and what do you know Joy was ready to eat at 7. I gave up at that point and just stayed up. Like I said "I need a break!"
