Tuesday Craze

Russell did great last night. He went to sleep in his crib around 8pm then woke up at 330 then again at around 7. This was fantastic. I had just enough energy to get out of the house for a 3 mile run this morning. These morning runs have not been happening so this was huge. I am going to do a half marathon in February and I really want to work on my time. I did 3.2 in 26 min. I am finally getting a little closer to my pre pregnancy times. I am hoping to do the half in at least 2 hours which means I really need to get out there and get my speed work in. It is just so hard with the limited sleep and still nursing, but I did today and that is all that matters. 

After work I came home to mania. My 4 year old was super hyped up wanting to play outside and demanding all my attention. So I was on go when I really wanted to be in chill relax mode. I guess not the best idea to try and sleep train this one tonight. Riley is almost 4 and sleeps in our bed. I know to some this is a no no but for us it always just worked. My only concern with this now is that he is not going to bed at a reasonable time unless you think 930 10 is reasonable and then he does not want to get up for school which then means me late for work. With all his stuffed animals in his bed I left him to sleep. 1 hour later Riley down stairs asking for Joe to sleep with him. Now they are both asleep in his bed. I'm not going to lie I am totally enjoying the peace as I sit in bed writing this blog. Glad that I made it another day as a mother of 2. Tomorrows task will be trying to get him to school and me to work on time and then getting in a training session having to take the 2 boys with me. Oh the happy chaos of being a mother of 2.
