3 am has become my regular bedtime; it was a little later, so again only 5 hours of sleep until I had to get up to make their food. At 9 am we sat down to feed them, and we had just started, when Grandma arrived. Normally we go swimming on Thursdays, but not this week because school kids are on fall vacation.

Last night I had just gone to bed after 3 am, after feeding the boys, when Tammy started crying. It had not been an hour since she had last had milk. I went to her to stroke her head, but every time I'd walk away, she started screaming. At one point I just lay down as I was so tired, only to get up a little later to try to stroke her head until she'd fall back asleep.

This morning Randy woke me up at 8:20, half an hour before my regular get-up time, as he was about to leave the house and take Sammy to his physiotherapy session. So I had to get up and went downstairs to be with Tammy and Emmy, who were playing and were excited to have me there. Just before 9 am I took them upstairs and made their food and fed them. Then I put them down for their nap, and lay down myself.
