Counting Grey

The other day I was shocked as I saw the shiny reflection in the mirror. "That one grey hair" I thought. I looked closer to find it was not just one. I remembered then that I had counted 4 a few months back. So I counted again. And counted and counted. It seemed to take a while as I separated them out from the masses. They are all in one spot. 11 of them. I was very sad. More confused. When did this happen? Believe it or not folks I do not know the natural cause of grey hairs. I expect it must have something to do with little sleep! My last count must have been before Kai was born. Now I'm just coming off the end of a very bad no-sleep stretch. Up 5 or 6 times a night for about 2 months in a row. This week feels hopeful, up only twice, once with Kai and once for a potty break. That doesn't include all the times between 7-8 a.m. where I continue trying to convince the kids it's not time to get up yet. Oh, and that doesn't include the first night Kaylin and Kavan shared a room! They slept about 6 hours total, in two separate chunks. They usually sleep 12. The next night they did good. Tonight not so good so far. In reality I just need to get to bed earlier. Tonight I had my small group, and it's WAY late. So to bed I go! After I move Kaylin out of my bed and back into hers... that was Sammie the babysitter's solution for tonight. Ben just called and said he had to work late :(. So my first wake-up alarm is already a guarantee... good night!
