It's a long day

I remember waking up last night just before Midnight and being so excited to realize that I still had over five hours until I had to get up.  I then woke up around 1:30 and knew that I still had 3-1/2 hours until the alarm went off.  I was cautiously optimistic I might be able sleep through the night.  Sadly, NOPE.  I woke up at 3:30 like I've been doing for quite some time now.  I knew I still had time to fall back asleep, but then I heard Abby barking.  I hopped up, but Andrew ran to get her.  He took her out, she went, and then he took her back to Catherine's room.  He had just settled in when Abby barked again.  He went and brought her to our bed.  It took her a bit to settle down, and it took Andrew and I even longer.  At 4:30, I knew there was no more quality sleep left for me.  Sure enough, I had just begun to doze off when the alarm went off at 5:00.  I am working today, and Thomas has a band concert this evening where I have several official responsibilities before and after.  Robert has track practice after school and Andrew is going to remain at school until he is finished.  I'm ready for bed or a quick nap already, but we are many hours away from that.
