It’s the middle of the night and I’m thinking about all that I need to do tomorrow. Laying in bed I know I won’t remember it all but I can’t to get out of bed to write it down. If I get up I’ll never get back to bed with all I want to get done. I completely understand the phrase burning the candle at both ends right now, is seems I’ve lost time and sanity with it.
Gauge hasn’t been feeling well. He spends a good part of the evening and night crying, with us unable to calm or sooth him for the most part. There have been some very long nights here.
The girls are, for the most part, early risers, everyday.
This Momma hasn’t had a whole lot of sleep lately.
Hopefully the laundry won’t build up too much this week… but with the washer and dryer in the basement and construction workers coming and going down there all day its hard to get laundry done. Did I mention the basement is being refinished in the house we are currently living in? Naptime is no longer happening here due to the noise in this house. I miss naptime.
Today is a new day. The start of a new week. A week where I hope to get a couple more hours of sleep. Where I won’t leave my school work for the last moment. Computer based school work is hard to accomplish with a baby that likes to be bounced and danced around the house and two little girls that need attention as well. My house is a mess but I figure if everyone is happy and feed then the house can stay a mess at this point.
Zombie days! It’s the only way to describe what it feels like to raise babies who aren’t sleeping. So exhausting!
HUGS – I’ve got 3 littles and the youngest is still nursing at night. Sleep makes everything better and no sleep makes everything a million times harder. Hang in there. Hoping you can sneak a little nap in somewhere. Stopping by from your new SITS tribe =)
We’re in the same boat then. The other night my little guy slept 6 straight hours and I felt like I had slept for days! I got so much day the next day. It’s the little things. 🙂
I so remember these days and I don’t miss them. Our girls were all always early risers and I was always a night owl. I hope you get some rest!

I would rather get up early that stay up late. My girls get it from me. My dad told me that I always got up with the sun as a baby/toddler too.
I can SO relate! I have a 4 month old, as well as three other daughters. I need “me” time, so I’m up until about 11pm and then still awak during the night to feed. Not quite sure how I’m still standing!
BTW – hi from your fellow tribe member!
I am amazed how much we can get away with with little to no sleep. I miss being able to nap with my little guy like I could with my girls. But I’m sure we’ll sleep through the night someday, only to miss getting up with our littles.
I remember those days and as much as I don’t miss them, i do… they grow up so fast and it’s tough when you know you’ll never get those little moments back, even when they were difficult! There are definitely days when I wish I had that quiet time, in the middle of the night, no matter how tired I was with my little ones! hugs from the SITS Girls, building your tribe!
I know exactly what you mean about not missing then and missing that at the same time. I miss those days with my girls and with my little guy already. They grow too fast.
Our birthmother gave birth to Baby #8 who is in a group foster home in another city. The baby stage is the main reason my hubby doesn’t want to go back to those days. It does get better!
