It's 11 pm, and I'm so tired I can barely function. I'm usually alright at night, able to work into the early morning hours, but not tonight. We had to get up at 7 and leave the house at 8 am, however, I did go to bed earlier, already at 1 am instead of 4 am, and to my greatest surprise, no one needed milk until the morning, though two of them had had their last milk just before midnight.

I was heading to bed at my typical 3:30 last night, but got held up, and it ended up being 4:15, and then I lie in bed awake for a while, thinking mainly about our upcoming Mali trip and all the details. I don't know how we're gonna childprove our house there, thinking of everything I have on bottom shelves that they would pull out....

I went to bed at my typical time of 3:30, even though at one point I thought it was gonna be earlier. Since my night is so short, I don't normally wake up, when Randy gets up to feed them in the morning, some time between 7 and 8. Today it was 8, and I did wake up, because Sammy was crying so hard.
