Shoulda

As a worrier by nature, one of my New Years Resolutions is going to be not to worry so much of what coulda shoulda woulda happened if...

But this morning it is really hard not to say shoulda!!!!
Emmy who (knock on wood) never wakes up in the night got up about 3:30 for a bottle. I fed her and she went right back to sleep. I on the other hand, could not. Once I get awake, my head starts turning on what the day will bring and what needs done around the house and by the time I can turn my brain off, any little noise will keep me awake--Chad snoring, Emmy cooing, or the dog scratching. So after lying in bed for about 45 minutes I decide that I will make a pot of coffee, start on the mountain of dirty laundry consuming my laundry room and try to pick up the debris of the Christmas explosion.

So Four loads of laundry later, a dishwasher that has been ran and reloaded, a movie that has been watched, a pot of coffee that has been consumed, overdue emails replied to, and some of the house put back in order, the girls and Chad just woke up at 8:10!!!!!!! Unbelievable! Erin-- You SHOULDA went back to sleep! You are gonna pay for this one! (Excuse the grammar, spelling, and punctuation of my very long run on sentence! As this tired mama said before, the kids are up!) At least I have a few more days to honor my New Years resolution!
