So tired.

Last night I said that Nathan woke up about 4 or 5 times.. well it was probably 7 or 8 times!! He would not stay asleep. I wasn't able to put him in his "bed" (he's been sleeping on a bed made of a really giant pillow (about 3 ft x 4 ft) along with other pillows surrounding it.) until almost 2:30am. By 6am he was in bed with us. Just after that Joe took Nate to the front room & turned on the tube. They layed on the couch with a cover. I went back to bed & at 9:30am I awoke to the phone ringing. It was Tina from Parents As Teachers. Our appointment was at 10am!! After I got off the phone with her, mom called saying that dad was on his way down & he should be here by 10am!! I went to inform Joe of this to find out that he's passed out on he big couch & Nate is out on the small couch. I took a super fast shower & got ready; complete with contacts & clean teeth! Joe got changed up, out of his pj's & into clean clothes and then took a shower. It's just not his normal bed and he knows it.

Our visit went very good. We took the yearly assessment test and he passed in all areas except speech. Once the visit was over, we found Dad working next door. Joe went down to help him with stuff while I had Nate. I made Amish Friendship Bread & it's edible. Me, Joe, & Nate left the house for about an hour to get something to eat. When we got back, Joe paid a couple bills & then went back to helping Dad work next door. I worked from 5-10pm tonight & I really wanted nothing more than to go home. Oh well. I did, however, get a friend to join Facebook. I'll have another Scrabble opponent even thought I haven't played much recently.

We are now back to sleeping uptairs. Thanks to Bob & Dad for putting tar on the roof above our bedroom & thanks to Joe for putting out bed back together AND putting the sheets & cover on!! So far he's doing better being back up here. Joe brought him to bed a little before 10pm as I didn't get off work until then. He sent me a text asking that I don't come upstairs as Nate was still awake. He was NOT happy! I took over for Joe. I got him calmed down by showing him the first 169 pictures on my phone. I would have shown him more if needed, but we stopped on a picture of him & Joe sleeping in the toddler racecar bed. I put him in there & he went out.... Or so I thought! I turned the lamp on for a minute & Joe brought pillows to bed & then he got up. I ignored him as best as I could for about 15 minutes or so. Then I had to pee & brought him to our bed. He was out -- for real this time -- within about 5 minutes!!!!

Joe brought me cereal, put Nate in bed (he's still asleep) and then came to bed. And here I am, blogging away..... (Now I have to go back to the beginning & continue writing it. I decided to write about Nate & his recent sleeping patterns first.) I'm way too tired to add any pictures tonight.

I'm thankful for nice weather today and hope that it continues.
