The plan:

Dinner and a kids' movie (together, in the family room!)
bedtime for the kids when the movie is over
Mike can finish his paper and I can GO TO SLEEP

Think it'll work?


Oh, and I'm so glad to be home!! I sat with Brianna a few minutes and we snuggled, and K climbed on me a few... but Emma, oh Emma... I haven't left her except for maybe an hour with Mike or while she's sleeping since I got custody of her in early March... and now it was FOUR DAYS! I held her on the couch and she didn't really care what I was doing. She's starting to chew on a toy (yay!) and was interested in that. So I laid her back on the floor when I needed to do something then came back and just laid on my back on the floor. What do ya know? Roooooooooooooollll PLOP. She got RIGHT on me and got up on her arms and laid her head on my chest. Ok, I'm happy now :) She missed me :)

Tonight will be rotating snuggles and trying to keep all the kids separated :)
