Eight Hours!

I do believe that today is going to be one of those days where things get done, music gets played and sun will shine. You betcha. My tiniest went to bed last night just after midnight. She had a slight cold, so I prepared myself to be up most of the night with her. She fell asleep in my arms and I placed her in her crib, covered her up, kissed her and off she went. Into a dreamland I only wish I could have a peek at.

I blogged, chatted with the hubby, turned on a movie and slowly entered a dreamland of my own.

I woke this morning at 8:30...8:30?...8:30!!! Hubby was still here. Odd. Everything is quiet. I lay in bed for a moment listening to the hum of the air conditioner as it buzzed to life. Still nothing. I sat up trying to get a peek into the crib. No movement. WTF?

I asked hubby if I had the right time. Yep. Definitely slept in, but how? Baby wakes at 2am and then again around 5am. She loves to wake up and eat and fall asleep on mommy. I walked over to her crib and found her sleeping soundly. I couldn't believe it! I haven't had a full eight hours sleep in over seven months!! Holy cow!! Now I am sitting her wondering if this is a new phase we are happily entering into, or if this was a side effect of the new homeopathic cold medication I gave her before bed last night...I can guess, but I would rather that it's a new phase! So sticking with that, we move on.

With a full sleep charging me up I have to spend my glorious day wisely. My good friend with a gaggle of children herself took my twins for a sleepover last night. They will likely be occupied until this afternoon. Superb. Just four at home today. Totally manageable. I have my coffee, my shower is calling and hubby is going to have to get off to work eventually...or maybe I keep him for the day. Play hooky from work and just tile the bathroom. Sounds like a plan!

Wish me luck! I'm off to make the most of this beautiful day!
