It has been a long day following a long night here in the Evans' family.
Aubrey Kate is still waking up around midnight each night having a coughing attack. She's not really awake. But we are. Then she woke me up again around 4:30 am having another nightmare.
So...I didn't get a whole lot of sleep.
Then today was a marathon day of work. I had a 9:00 am meeting at the office which meant we had to leave the house at 7:15 am. Mrs. Eartha was awesome and agreed to drive both our miracles to "school". Which is where my little one only got 45 minutes of sleep. Making for an oh so fun evening tonight.
Chris has been working to finish the painting while I have been working to finish my ruffled lamp shade for the kitchen.
By the way, the kitchen is gonna be so ridiculously cute.
There are so many things to be thankful for today. Good meeting. Amazing friends. Miracle babies. Awesome husbands who paint. And an entire website where I can get lost in DIY home decorating ideas.
But largely I am grateful for rest.
I have always been the gal who loved her sleep. Some people don't. They want to sleep when they're dead or something ridiculous like that. Which is a total shame. Those are probably the same people who don't take warm, bubble baths and long walks on the beach.
Also known as the unhappy people.
I'm pretty particular about my sleep too. For optimum sleeping bliss, I like a cold room, lots of fluffy warm blankets, a squishy pillow under my head and a squishier pillow to hug. Then there are the ear plugs (because Chris breathes) and the monitor turned up full volume for the white noise machine in her room.
And yes, not having the white noise totally makes a difference even with the ear plugs. It eliminates the remaining low tones of Chris' breathing.
Tonight I am going to take a warm bath, put on my favorite pj's and crawl into my warm bed. And fall asleep telling God how thankful I am for this life. Squishy pillows and all.
