Too sleepy...

We have been making a concerted effort this week to all get up in the morning and have a family breakfast before sending the boys out the door. It's a good thing for all of us. But until I get better at going to bed earlier the earlier rising time is not easy. Last night was an especially rough night for me and I lay in bed for hours trying to will myself to sleep knowing that 7:30 was just around the corner. I don't know when I finally fell asleep, but by 7:30 I was not awake. I vaguely remember Jacob asking me something and I thought I told him to have a muffin leftover from yesterday's breakfast. Apparently I didn't.

Brian heard me tell him to go close the girl's bedroom door so they wouldn't wake up, and then I was talking too softly for him to hear. He said Jake got a very confused look on his face, but quickly went to shut the bedroom door. After 5 minutes or so he came back to Brian looking worried. He said, "Hey Dad... what do you think Mom meant when she said 'follow the pattern and then just let it run for a minute' ?" Brian started to laugh and said, "I don't think that Mom is all the way awake, honey." Jake thought it was funny then. "Yeah, Mom was giving me sewing advice!" I think he was quite relieved that he wasn't going to be in trouble for not obeying me.

I really need to go to bed earlier...
