LOOOOOONG DAY

Did you ever have one of those days that just wouldn't end? I'm waiting for mine to be over :)
For some reason, last night Tori decided to be awake most of the night (I am hoping that she was just upset over something I ate - onions? chocolate?). I finally got her down for a good sleep at about 5 this morning - just as Nick decided for some very strange reason to wake up - and Andy left for work. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince Nick that he should go back to sleep. He woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to face the day. I wish I could have felt the same!

Ellie is gone at Girl Scout camp, so I don't have her to help me out (and she is a HUGE help). Chasing Nick with a baby in my arms is not an easy thing to do. I managed to get some laundry, dishes, and vacuuming done, but that was the extent of my accomplishments today. Nick didn't even take a nap - what is wrong with that child? Andy came home for dinner,but then headed out to the lake to meet Ellie's troop for an evening of fishing. That leaves me with all of them at bedtime :) Needless to say, they are parked in front of a movie right now because I don't have the energy for anything else. I am hoping for a shower and a good night's rest whenever Andy gets back - I'll settle for the sleep though :)

Ellie is also going to horse camp all of next week and another 8 day long camp in July. I am going to miss her help. She is able to watch Nick for short periods of time so that I can shower, cook dinner, etc. Kate isn't old enough/responsible enough for that yet. Since Andy will be gone in July, I will either be showering in the middle of the night or I will be really stinky!!
