trials

I keep having to remind myself that my kids won't be young forever, and I will miss this stage of our family later on. I tell ya though, the lack of sleep is getting to me. There is a lot of irony in the fact that Darrel and are both, "need lots of sleep" kind of people and we've produced Jack, the anti-sleep child. Moving, having a baby and travelling this summer has ruined the peogress we had made in Winnipeg. Yup, almost had a nervous break down / violent episode today after trying to get Jack to nap for three hours, resorted to letting Jack scream in his room, putting head phones on and watching a DVD episode of The West Wing. He was exhausted, I was exhausted. Let's hope tomorrow is better, as I said to Darrel, tomorrow is a new day. Thank Goodness!

This was the highlight of our day.

Oh dear, I understand those days and I fear having my next child only because I remember almost 2 YEARS of very, very little sleep. Hang in there- I wish I could offer some more productive advice but I dont really have any.
