Mark's Market

Wow.

It's only the third day of the year

and I already missed a blog post.

What's my excuse for missing yesterday?

The very reason that this blog is in existence. 

Neither of my girls are sleeping. 

Elliotte has a stuffy nose and is coughing a LOT at night.

Piper is just refusing to stay in her bed

and stays awake forever after she climbs into my bed.

We've never allowed Piper to sleep in our bed,

but we've been giving in to her more the past few weeks

because I'm so tired and my headaches are still there. 

I'm in survival mode right now.

I'll do anything to try to get a little sleep,

even if it means that I'll have to have an epic battle with Piper later,

to get her to stop coming out to my bed in the middle of the night.

My checked my sleep tracker yesterday morning.

It told me that I had 2.5 hours of sleep...

but not consecutively. 

I dream of the day when I can have 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

(Which may come sooner than later if all goes well!!

Nanny and Poppy Pope have agreed to let Mark and I

go on a adults-only getaway to Moncton for a night.

Pending my girls or my parents aren't sick,

it could happen!

Mark and I are so excited that we've already been looking

at restaurants and menus online.

I'll even get to eat a hot meal! 

Soooo exciting.

Don't get me wrong,

I wouldn't trade my girls for anything in this world.

You all know that.

But once in a  while,

it would be very very nice to get some sleep

and have a little break.

2016 is off to an exhausting start...

let's hope it gets better!

Piper is having so much fun shopping at Mark's Market.
He even has his little apprentice with him.
I think there are some child labour laws prohibiting this!

Some loves her Santa present very much!
But loves playing with her daddy more!
