YOU are wonderfully talented - even while operating on little to no sleep!<br /><br />When I saw this post, I knew I had to comment. I also have two young boys (anyone else see a pattern emerging?) who aren't exactly great sleepers. Mine are 4 and 3, only 13 months apart. So, we usually end up with two little friends in bed with us. I am SO SICK of sleeping with one or more appendages hanging off the side of bed! If you come up with any quick-fix tips, please let me know!<br /><br />I will definitely be adding your blog to my daily "rounds." :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908732839074241728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236212632435986208.post-63724658356690307462009-08-18T12:20:42.595-07:002009-08-18T12:20:42.595-07:00Wow - thanks for your wonderful comments. It's...Wow - thanks for your wonderful comments. It's nice to know that you are not the only one going through sleep deprivation. Cellasti - your comment made me cry. It was so heart warming. Thanks for putting everything in perspective for me! I will try to savour these sleepless nights as I know, like you, I will be worried about other things before I know it. Thanks again for sharing your personal story.Trove Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711772333630502873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236212632435986208.post-44962825882030203322009-08-16T00:56:20.039-07:002009-08-16T00:56:20.039-07:00No wonder I haven't spoken to you! You're...No wonder I haven't spoken to you! You're falling asleep while the kids watch television and eat breakfast! :P You poor thing! On a side note, if you think you should take him to a sleep specialist, I say go for it! We're battling our own problem here and your Mommy intuition is usually right on!!hpmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408239719836787329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236212632435986208.post-42699551860164014172009-08-13T02:11:27.781-07:002009-08-13T02:11:27.781-07:00I loved reading your blog.

It's timing couldn't be more perfect as it thankfully provided a wonderful memory for me just when I needed it.14 years ago my life was vey similar to what you describe for the very same reasons.I have 2 boys-4 years apart. I moved from bed to bed every night till my oldest was 6. I desperatly craved sleep just as you've described. My sleep this evening, is interrupted as I wake with motherly concerns- my oldest is leaving for college in a day. I read your blog as crocodile tears rolled down my cheeks-I can't cry in front of my son because I am fairly certain I wouldn't be able to stop and I refuse to selfishly rain on his parade-as I recalled similar sleepless nights. How I miss those nights that you've described (which at the time I never dreamed I would-no pun intended)when they couldn't sleep and I slept with one them in their bed or they came to me to sleep in our bed. I clearly remember my oldest,at 3 or 4 years old, would hold my face in both his little hands as we faced each other.I would close my eyes to prompt him to do the same. I would carefully peak to see if his eyes were shut...he would finally drift off and I would hold his tiny wrists and gently move them to a pillow as I slipped out of bed to move to any unoccupied bed or sofa to finish my nights sleep.I had forgotten those nights, mostly because I wanted them to end as I was in need of a long stretch of uninterrupted sleep like you. At this very momennt I easily and selfishly wish them back again. But, chin up, I will hug and cry at move in day as many moms I am told do-knowing I did my "mom job" (like you) 14 years ago and each day since to proudly see him off on his own knowing in a tiny way how much I've helped.Snuggle up well with your little guys tonight.<br />Cheers.<br />A Mom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759316654649806742noreply@blogger.com
