Who needs sleep?

Obviously not me.  I have been having such a hard time sleeping these days.  I go to sleep easy enough, but then I have to get up to use the potty like six times a night and then around 5-6 I am wide awake feeling like crap so I can't get back to sleep.  It's pretty crazy.  But, while I am up so early, I might as well be productive...so here I am.
Last night we had a Christmas party at my parents house.  We had a couple cousins come and most the siblings.  We ate some food and then played a "White Elephant" game.  The kids had fun playing with each other and being silly while the adults talked and played the game.  It was good to visit and let the kids play.  I think this cold weather has been hard for them to not get to play outside or with other kids very often.  Over all I thought it was a successful night.
Today we plan on seeing the Muppet Movie with my family and then we have the Kresser Christmas party tonight.  That is always a good time.  I look forward to seeing many family member we haven't seen in a while and to have a fun gift exchange as well.
Then one more night and it will be Christmas.  Tyler can't wait.  He is so excited for Santa and the presents.  I just hope that this new "attitude" with chill out soon, he has been such a pill lately.  I don't know if it is the age, the cold weather, all the treats, the anticipation of Christmas, what...but he has attitude - and I don't like it.  For the most part he is still an amazing kid, but he has been giving me a run for my money these days.  Maybe it's my lack of sleep...lack of patience...naw couldn't be that.
