I think I'm operating on sheer adrenaline right now. Last night was awful! I'm not used to functioning on three hours of sleep. Ugh. Accalia fell asleep at a very decent time last night - 7:30 - but Cole was ready to go after sleeping most of the day. I finally had him asleep and was heading up to bed at 11:30 when the phone rang. I just hate late night calls. That usually means something bad has happened (unless it's a wrong number or you have a pregnant friend due any day). Well, it was my older brother Anthony and he sounded pretty upbeat. He was calling to tell me that our dad was in the emergency room because he had been run over by the van he drives for work! Amazingly and thankfully it just ran over a portion of his leg and there were no breaks - just lots of bruising. Wow! I'll tell that story in a different post. Have to get back to my lack of sleep :)

So, Cory got back up at this point and then Accalia started coughing and crying and woke up and then Cole woke back up. Well, let's just say that Cory and Accalia weren't communicating very well, so I went upstairs to calm Accalia down. Took a while, but she fell back asleep after telling Cory to "Go away, Daddy!" Then I got Cole back to sleep and we were all asleep by 12:30 (Cory in the guest bed LOL). Around 3:30, I think, Accalia woke up again and was really upset for some reason - can't remember now - and started screaming for Cory. So Cory came back in and we all went to sleep. She had gotten up before that because she needed to pee, too, so this was my second full waking for the night. Then around 4:30 she was inconsolable because she woke up wanting a bandaid for her finger, but we were out of bandaids. Cory was getting pretty upset because he had to be up in 45 minutes and wanted to sleep, so I hauled both kids downstairs. That's when we were up for the day. Well, Cole basically slept until past nine, and only when Cole woke up did Accalia fall asleep. Now they're both sleeping, and I'm going to try to sleep, too, after my next post.
