Day 1662. It was after 2 am before I made it to bed last night, and 10 pm for the kids. That didn't change at all how early they were getting up. Sammy was up first before 7 am, and soon the others were up as well. All I wanted to do was get some sleep, but there was noise, and there were kids coming to me, so it was hard to get to sleep.

Day 1661. This morning the alarm went off at 7:15 as usual, but Sammy was up before that, and Randy got up to get him out of bed and then make breakfast for everyone. I had a second alarm set for 8:45 am, but they kept coming to me before that. I then got up, got them and myself ready, and at 9:15 Randy, the kids and I left the house.

Day 1660. It's been such a long day! After a short night, I had to get up early, at 7:45, to get the kids and myself ready to leave the house at 8:15. Randy and Sammy always leave the house at that time, as Randy was taking him to kindergarten - today it was the first time in over a week. They left just before us, but we all walked to the subway.
