Welcome to the Mackrory Institute! We are now offering night classes. Last night's seminar went as follows:
11:15 PM Annoying Buzzing Sounds: What wakes you up when you forget to turn your phone on silent and you receive a email. Awesome! Seminar hosted by KaraLynne Mackrory
12:45-3:30 AM Sleep Mirage: How to keep everyone up at night by alternating crying for 5-10 minutes and being silent for 20. An instructional guide to having apparently nothing wrong with you from top to bottom but insisting on crying like you do. Seminar hosted by Ruby Mackrory
12:45-3:30 AM Nighttime Parental Dance: Not the fun kind, this is more like cage fighting where you tag your partner in to try to figure out how to get the baby happy and asleep. Seminar hosted by Andrew and KaraLynne Mackrory
3:30 AM Mommies Can Cry Too: What happens when you haven't received any sleep all night and your body hurts and is mad at you for it. A coping mechanism for loosing you sanity in the middle of the night from total mental and physical exhaustion. Hosted by KaraLynne Mackrory
3:30 AM Nice Gesture: Why after your wife has not slept all night you probably shouldn't try to comfort her by scratching her back or cuddling when she finally gets into bed to sleep because you are only keeping her up longer. Thanks, I love you too, now get back to your side of the bed. Hosted by KaraLynne Mackrory
8 PM - 7 AM Sleep Magicians: How the heck did they sleep through all of that, I mean I am grateful they did, but seriously! I need what they took. Hosted by Chantal, Lyman and Corilynn.

Classic, lol. On those nights I just want to run out of the house and run an entire marathon to get out my frustrations....
I wish I could take care of all your responsibilties today so you could stay in bed.
Sounds like a miserable night. But...it was a bit humorous to read about it the way you posted it! :) Hope you have a better night tonight!
I guess I could teach my own seminars! I am glad to hear I am not the only one that has these kinds of nights and feel the exact same- anger, frustration, and don't touch me! The other night I had two kids crying at once. I had to then wake up connor, which I hate to do since he teaches seminary now.
Loved this post--you are such a clever gal!
It is just miserable when little ones don't sleep! Glad you were able to look back on it with a sense of humor. : )
Just look at how much we could learn if we never had to sleep!! You guys must be pretty good at it if you are teaching seminars. Good thing those cute kiddos have parents who love them!! I want to enroll in the Sleep Magicians class. I would like to sleep through more than I do.
BTW--Feel free to send some of that German chocolate out West.
Sounds about like our nights for the last week or so, although discard the phone and add in potty breaks and irritating sleep positions trying to get comfortable! Hope it's getting better...
