Sleepless in Toronto….

Somebody is finally sleeping — which means I can sit me down and write something and then (maybe) sleep. Write what? I’m not so sure. Let’s look back on the day and see what we come up with.

3am: Monkey wakes up screaming: “MAAAAAMA! MAAAAAMA!”

3:30am: Rascal wakes up screaming: “WAAAAAHHHH!”

4am: Monkey wakes up screaming: “MAAAAMA! MAAAMA!” And, Rascal wakes up: “WAAAAHHH!”

5am: I kick Josh in the BEEEEP and curse at him because HE IS SLEEPING.

5:30am: Josh wakes up: “There’s a MASSIVE raccoon in the backyard eating all our garbage!”

6:30am: Josh wakes up: “It was, like, as big as a DOG.”

6:40am: “Shuddup about the raccoon already, trying TO SLEEP.”

7am: Rascal awake: “SHRRRRIEEEEEK!” Dang it. Oh, and whad’ya know, Monkey is IN MY BED. Her little feet in my face.

Do you want me to go on…? It gets better….

The rest of the day TOTALLY reflected the CHAOS that was last night. Starting with a FIELD TRIP that I was late for, of course. Always late. For everything. But, everyone was late. So, s’okay. AnyHOOT, because I’m SO tired that I can barely hold my head up, I’ll let the sweet pics do the talking.

And, the best for last…….

Check the purse…. It’s full of plastic ice-cream balls. Doncha know…

Anyway, this no-sleep thing is really REEEEEALLY getting to me now. I could hardly workout at the gym. So, I skipped kickboxing — skipped HOTT INSTRUCTOR WITH CRYSTAL GREEN EYES — and went for a lazy jaunt on the elliptical trainer.

I’m shooting for balance in my life. But, seriously, that CANNOT happen if I’m not sleeping.

And, sleep won’t be possible until Rascal starts sleeping through the night. Since it’s humanly impossible for me to just let him cry it out (because he’s just so DANG LOUD cute), I don’t expect to sleep any time soon. WAHHHH. Hold me….

Tired as I am, can I just tell you? I’m so happy I caught the rerun of The Bachelorette debut. DeAnna’s SO stunning, isn’t she? And, CUTE boys! Should be a good season! And, and, AND, ARRRRRRRE YOOOOOUUUU WATCHING?

More deets on diet and nutritionist…OVAH HERE!

If you haven’t entered the CARSEAT CONTEST, DO IT NOWWWW! Contest closes Sunday at 6pm. Winners will be announced Monday! Love….

any ideas why Monkey wasn’t sleeping? and I totally agree w/ waking up Josh…why should he be the only one who gets to sleep?

I truly, deeply feel for you!
My monkey is now starting to sleep 4-5 stretches at night but last night she woke up every two hours and my eyes are bleeding I’m so tired! I don’t know how you do it with a rascal and a monkey, where do you get your strength from?
Sending sleep vibes to the whole fam…

Cute pics. It is so odd to see her in a coat.

I hope it goes better tonight.

Ugh. You poor thing. I remember this so well. And I went crazy 5 weeks post partum trying to get back into shape. After about 5 months of no sleep and too much jogging I got REALLY sick.
Please, please give yourself a break. The first thing you need is sleep and healthy food. Worry about the workouts once you are getting more sleep. You could actually be doing more damage than good otherwise.
Hang in there. It WILL get better!

I was never good at the cry it out thing either. It made me too sad. Luckily baby #3 was a gem and the best sleeper ever.

Sleep will come, I never thought it would, but it does. Well, I’m still woken up every night at around 4:30AM by a 3 year old carrying 3 or 4 of her Backyardigan picks of the night, with her, but I’m getting better and better and falling back asleep quickly.

Wait, I think it’s just old age. Ugh.

You just brought me back to Ben at four and Jack at weeks, or months, old. Good times, good times… Uh, not so much.

Hoping that you get more sleep tonight. It shouldn’t be too hard. You’ve set the bar really low, LOL!

Oh … I know those terrible nights of no sleep while Hubs is snoring away. Little ‘Ny has been waking up the past 3 night due to bad dreams (we will probably have to take down the growth chart) and ends up in bed with us. Correction … ends up in bed with me on my side. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

P.S. I like the new site design.

This sleep you speak of ???
My first kid totally slept through the night, lulling me into this false sense of security. Making me believe that I could have another baby and sleep. psshhaa nope. He is not a sleeper. ugh.

cute pics!
