Last night turned out much like the night before. I put Trey to bed then later when I went to lay Kayelynn down, I found the door to be locked again! This time he was awake and we had another talk about locking doors. Kayelynn didn't sleep well. She was paging me at 0130. Trey had been woke up too and was begging me not to bring Sister back to his room. At 0330, Rex woke me up because I had fallen asleep in the rocking chair with Kayelynn. At 5, I heard Kayelynn crying again and Trey yelling at her to be quiet. By 6 I had just fallen to sleep again when I felt Trey climbing over the top of me. Trey kept giggling and whispering "I see you mommy". Rex,of course, was sawing logs. I don't think he'd hardly moved all night long. How are men so oblivious to their children? He didn't get the dirty look I gave him when he commented that I didn't look very awake this morning.
So that's it! I can't go on like this. I am grouchy and Trey is insane from sleep deprivation. I have decided. The kids are going to each have their own rooms-and soon! I haven't figured out exactly how this is going to work. But it will work. I will make it work. It has to work.
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

Feel your pain and sleep deprivation coming through your words. Wish I could give you an answer other than build up. Picturing your layout and only thing I see is the closet at end of hall between the two bedrooms. But where would you go with other stuff in there? New shed outside? Could then threaten Trey with possibility of that being his room if he doesn't poop on the potty or let Kayelenn share the room. Or you can get an RV, park it outside and Rex and Trey can sleep in there and you and Kayelynn can sleep in the house. There you go problem solved. Your welcome.
I was sooo worried since you hadn't blogged. I was afraid something really, really bad had happened. Hopefully things will somehow work out and sleep will return. I am beyond glad that my kids are past that stage and sleep for hours. Someday that day will come for you too.
Well have to finish getting ready to go. My son turns 13 on Sunday the 26th so we are all going to get his present today. Lord help me but he is getting a guitar. We are letting him pick it out from a guy at Winslow. Tony Rothrock. He is supposed to be a very accomplished muscian. Yeah, more noise in the house besides war-of-the-radios and shouting matches of how is more stupid. See what you get to look forward to. take care
