i got in trouble

i got in trouble by my blogging friend whom i told i would blog every week. it seems i was due yesterday for a blog :) so here goes...ironically (or how about not so ironic when your living with a newborn), i can talk about lack of sleep again! mr. jared decided to wake-up at 2:30 am this morning. of course, this would be the night that i stayed up REAL late 11:15 and happened to have 2 adult beverages (screwdriver, that is). eitherway, jared waking up is much more scary than jack waking up. why one might ask? because i know if jack is waking up, it's out of the norm and it WILL get back to normal. he has been a good sleeper for 20+mths now. jared on the other hand is new to this world and sometimes (PLEASE not my son) babies will sleep through the night for weeks and then all of the sudden start waking up in the middle of the night and start that bad habit. so i'm crossing my fingers (and mixing some rice cereal in his last feeding) with the hope that mr. jared will sleep through the night tonight. :) on a different note, when chunk asks why i was "sleeping in" (aka not getting up at 5:20), i told him that jared got up last night. then he tries to "empathize" by saying he stayed up until 12 PLAYING A VIDEO GAME. i had to remind him that that was a choice, whereas mine was an obligation. oh men :) i do love mine though.
on another note, i need to post some pictures of our lovely christmas presents. if you would have asked me 10 years ago how excited i would be to get a shed or swingset, i might have looked at you a little funny. but now we're stoked! chunk and i could not be more happier (blessed, i might add) about our christmas presents. our parents are so sweet and thoughtful and got us these two big gifts. well technically, the swingset is for the boys, but it's a great "babysitter." no i am not going to let jack outside and not watch him, but it's great for him to release some energy and let mama rest on the bench outside. lol. as for the shed, i've already gotten in trouble for "putting junk in the manhouse." blah, blah, blah i say. it's more storage for me! chunk has already cleaned out the old one (well almost, but he ran out of room in the trash can). so woot-freakin'-woot! hhhmm...woot, that may be my next post. it seems some people don't know about woot. until next time....peace out.
