Day 1638. I once again went to bed late, so I was very tired this morning and stayed in bed, even after Randy returned and took the kids downstairs. It was finally quiet, allowing me some good sleep, even though I had work to do that was not getting done. I couldn't believe it was already 11:45, when Randy came back upstairs with the kids.

Day 1637. There's no sleeping in with our kids. Sammy was up first, bright and early, then Emmy, then Tammy. Eventually Randy got up to give them breakfast, and later he took them downstairs to play. I turned my computer on to continue working on the financial report for last year. At 10:45 I already had to go to the kitchen to make lunch.

Day 1636. This morning my alarm went off at 8:15. Of course Sammy was up early, as usual, then Emmy was up, and Tammy last. Eventually Randy got up and made breakfast for them. Then I got up and got ready for my 9 am student. Randy took the kids downstairs before then and returned upstairs with them just as I was finishing my lesson at 9:50.
