I am so tired

I never fully appreciated sleep deprivation until having 3 children. Mind you, I am the person that NEEDED 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep or I was a massive, offensive, angry bear! I have sisters that can attest to this--and Ron, I don't think I got much sleep that time he wanted to set me up with Grant. I think Ron was tuned in, but just not exact. He was hearing "Grant" and it was supposed to be "Brant.
The twins are at an all-time high of destruction. They have become fully function and figured out what a great team they make when it comes to mischief. What one can't do the other can. Yesterday, Porter woke up at 4:10 a.m. Brant gets up about that time, so when Porter came in, he thought it was time to greet the morning. I was so tired. That is also Lane's eating time. Porter came in, Brant played with him, and then Porter got Lane fully awake. There was no chance of going back to bed, though I tried for the next couple of hours. Needless to say, it did not happen. Lane was cranking and fussying the whole time--due to his early wake up. Plus, he was off schedule for the rest of the day.
When Madison woke up at 6, I gave them juice and turned on Barney. Lane had fallen back asleep. I locked my door and fell back to sleep. I woke up a half hour later, with Geneva telling me that my kids were banging on her kids door yelling for them to wake up. They woke up Aundra, Jantzen, and Cambry. They had figured out how to unlock my door.
Later that morning, I was downstairs loading the dishwasher. Lane was in a walker. I hear a big crash and Porter and Lane suddenly crying. Porter had tipped over the walker and Lane hit the tile floor with his head. He was still upside down with his head on the floor and his feet stuck in the walker.
This morning they went into my closet while I was feeding Lane. I thought, what can they do in there? When I went to get them, all of my clothes had been thrown on the floor. Two boxes of junk I was organizing were dumped out on the floor. They were in the process of removing all of the hangers from shelf. I have put them in their telling them they are not coming out until the mess is cleaned up. Porter is handing hangers to Madison (she's up on the shelf) and she is hanging them up. They keep getting distracted. I figured they have messed up as much as they can so I get a break because they can't come out of the closet.
