Ella decided that it's no fun to stay sleeping at night. I think she made this decision a long time ago, but I was in such a stupor that I didn't even remember boobing her briefly before us both passing back out. She sleeps in her own room, which is great for naps and such, but not so great when she is up at night. Last night she figured it would be a blast to wake up at 1:30 and just not go back to sleep. And if that wasn't enough, she thought screaming bloody murder every time I put her down would be a banner idea. I finally got her back to sleep around 3:30, then I heard Laszlo screaming for Robert some time after that...so I went into his room. About an hour later, I heard Lily screaming, "I want my Mooooommmmmmyyy!" So I went in with her. Then I went back to sleep again, then Robert called with his usual 7:52 am call.
Ella was up at that point. Joy.
I let the big kids sleep in, because I was so tired and because it's freezing out and I despise the idea of shaking them out of bed to get them frozen. Laszlo woke up around 9:40 and Lily's still asleep now at 10.
While I was getting Laszlo's breakfast ready, I heard Ella coughing. I checked on her and she was right in front of the dog's cage, nibbling on some kibble. Yum.
Part of me doesn't want to take Laszlo to school at all today, I would love to just hang around at home all day in our PJ's. He's being SO delicious and giggly and cuddly. That's irresponsible parenting, right?
At least I'm in no rush...and I'm waiting until Lily wakes on her own - granted that happens before noon. But at that point, there are only a couple of hours left of school, so what would the point be really.
Rationalization anyone?
I don't want to give him the message that I can just let him stay home for no reason, but I also would really enjoy a day to just hang out home with no time constraints and with the kidlets being yummy. Some of my favorite days of childhood were when my mom let me stay home. I remember we went to see Porky's in the theater when it first came out...I think I was 11. Yeah, totally inappropriate, but it was fun and it's a good memory still.
Ok, enough thinking out loud. I'll just wait and see what time miss Lily Bean wakes up and let that make my decision.
Am I a bad mom?
ETA: Lily woke up soon after I hit "post" on this entry...I just dropped Laszlo at school, around 10:45. I think we'll stay home like bums for the rest of the day, until I have to pick him up at 2:45.
