Day 1107. I was sleeping really well this morning, even with Emmy getting up early and the kids having me open squeezies for them. When the alarm rang at 8 am, it was brutal. I stayed in bed a few more minutes, while Randy started changing their diapers.

Day 1105. Having taught 11 hours in 2.5 days, I was really looking forward to Sunday and a day off. Of course, I usually catch up on office work, but today I knew that I needed rest more than anything. It was close to 3 am before I fell asleep last night. And so I was in no rush to get up this morning.

Day 1104. Emmy was up early as usual, but it took me until close to 8:30 before I was able to make myself crawl out of bed - with Emmy pulling on my legs to get me up. After breakfast I took them downstairs, where we read a Bible story together.
