How come I'm so tired??

...Oh, now I remember. I went to bed at midnight last night (nothing unusual there). Then I got up and cleaned the kitchen til 1am...could not sleep with it in the condition it was (especially after spending the whole day cleaning it the first time). I slide back into bed, exhausted. Then Gabriel got up and came into our bed. After getting him back into his bed and settling in, Duke scratched at my side wanting to go out. I start to doze off and Dylan comes into bed. I lay awake as he falls asleep and then after he's back into his bed I start to drift off once again. Wouldn't you know it, Cameron comes into bed. Like DeJaVu I wait til he's asleep (to avoid the sleepy-middle-of-the-night tantrum he'd throw if I just sent him right back to bed). Once he's asleep I get him back into bed. Finally, I can sleep. I look at the clock to see 6am and I've barely slept a wink. I close my eyes....Duke wants to go out again. 7:45, I'm up for the morning to get the kids off to school.

How was your night?

Any chance they make a bed larger than a king? Our queen-size just isn't cutting it anymore.

Chan get's up to let Duke out and to carry the kids back to bed, so neither of us gets a whole nights sleep.
