I don’t have to add something green to the site, it’s always green! :)

The time change is still kicking my derriere. I can’t go to sleep at the right time at night, and then I’m having to resort to (gasp!) caffeine in the morning in order to be functional. I try to reserve caffeine for when I really need it, and I’m sad to say I’ve needed it every morning this week. I refuse to allow myself to get back into that habit, but it’s been really hard to wake up this week.

RK has been up and out of the house before the rest of us wake up this week, and he’s been getting home after the girls are in bed. Meaning I’ve been waking to an alarm, which hasn’t helped the whole morning thing, either. Monday morning when I went to wake TwinkleToes, she wasn’t in her bed. My heart literally stopped beating. I looked around her room, but no TT. I said her name once softly, no answer, then I said it a good bit louder. I heard GlitterGirl from her room say softly, “She’s in here.” I walked into GG’s room and sure enough, little TT was sound asleep in her sister’s bed, curled up against her looking like a little angel. GlitterGirl said TT came into her room and woke her up in the middle of the night and she couldn’t get her to stop talking so she dragged her into bed and rubbed her back until she fell asleep. I asked GG why she didn’t come get us and she said she just wanted to go back to sleep, and that seemed the fastest way for her to get back to sleep.

I had a talk with TT about how she should come to RK and I if she woke up, but she said she wanted her sister. Everyone has stayed in their own beds the rest of the week, so maybe it was just a fluke.

RK had checked on them before he left, and he asked me that night why TT was in GG’s bed. I explained it to him, and we agreed if it kept happening we’ll put the dog downstairs at night again so we can put the motion sensor back up in the hallway. We took it down a while back, and have only been using it when we, ummm, fool around, as a warning that a child is up and may soon have their ear pressed to our door – but there’s no reason we can’t put it up long term again so we’ll be awakened any time a child comes out of their room. Well, except for the dog – he won’t be at all happy that he’ll be stuck sleeping downstairs again. Hopefully it won’t be necessary, though.

And I’m much happier with the weather. It’s not exactly warm yet, but it’s no longer bitterly cold, either.
