I feel you. Sometimes I hear C wake up and think, just 10 more minutes. You may be sleep deprived, but you are one of the most energetic mommies I know!

@Mrs. Trophy Wife – Thank you. Hang in there mama! He will be home before you know it!
@Mommyof4 – I only have my one baby for now. Good luck with oldest. I am already dreading the teen years and I have a long time until we get there!

The editorial comment on Miley Cyrus' comment made me laugh!

I remember the sleep deprived days…our youngest finally slept through the night when we moved him to a toddler bed at 18 months!

I can relate! Lol. The oldest is 11 the youngest is 21 months....sleep, what is sleep? With four children in the house it is sometimes hard to make sure they all get the individual attention they not only need but deserve. Our youngest is not quite two yet so she requires some extra attention making it a little more challenging to make sure the three boys get their fair share as well. So when the opportunity arose to spend a little time with our oldest son my husband and I jumped at it! The three of us went to dinner and had a great time laughing, joking and just enjoying each other's company.

September is quickly approaching and with that comes some new freedom for our eleven year old. Jr. High! I remember high school! I remember the not-so-great people you can get tangled up with if not careful. I remember the stress high school can cause. I remember the "I am not a child" attitude that comes with the teenage years. Frankly Justin starting Jr. high school scares the crap out of me! He is all to willing to trust even the untrustworthy, friendly, and is always drawn to the kids you would rather stay at the other end of the park.

I keep telling myself that we have a smart boy, a good boy, and we have taught him right from wrong...but it doesn't help. Honestly I am sooo not looking forward to these teen years! I would love to just skip them! I can easily see someone taking advantage of the fact that he is more than willing to do what they ask of him. He can also have a bit of a mouth though so I can also easily see him taking a few knocks. These years came too fast. I don't think I am mentally ready for a teenager!

Do you have a teen/teens? How did you feel when they entered the "big kids" school? I would love to hear!

Oh man, I really hope your little guys starts feeling better! I feel you on the no sleep thing. I think it is just one of the things about motherhood that no one tells you until your actually going through it LOL. When my best friend got pregnant with her first I told her to savor the moments of sleeping in, and taking naps! Hope you have a good weekend!

Girl, I feel ya. 100%. I, too, have had a really hard time sleeping since my husband deployed. Add that to a baby that doesn't ever WANT to sleep, and I walk into walls most days.

Your blog is ADORABLE by the way! Can't wait to read some more :)

And seven deployments? Ugh, that makes me hurt. Bless your heart! One has been hard enough for me.
