Rough Night

Last night my husband left for his annual 'Party in Vegas' trip...he'll be gone til late Monday night, so I'm in charge of the kiddies for the next four days. Kieran has been sleeping in 5-6 hour blocks, so I was hopeful that meant I would only need to get up once with him in the night, but he must have known that Daddy was gone, and woke up screaming 4 times. Granted, I only got up one of those times, thinking that he needs to comfort himself and go back to sleep, but irregardless, I was up everytime he was, and basically got about 4 hours total sleep last night. I'm pretty tired right now...yawn. And I get to do this for four more nights, fun!

But I did make it to Masters last night for the last session of the Summer. The pool will be closed starting Monday the 17th for the next 3 weeks, so I have made arrangements with some fellow Masters lane 1ers (yes, the slow lane) to meet at the local outdoor pool once a week until it reopens. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with that schedule!

On Sunday, me and the boys will be volunteering at the Y's Kids Triathlon. Kieran will be helping by staying on my back in his pack and not crying too much (!) and Connor and I will passing out with refreshments, water, you know the drill. Connor helped me at an event two years ago passing out water to runners doing a 5k. You should have seen him, he loved it...he kept screaming WATER at the top of his lungs every time someone ran by. People were lining up to get water from him, jeopardizing their times because he was so cute. Let's hope he cooperates as well on Sunday, otherwise it will be a long, painful morning.
