I'm a sleep-deprived fireball!

     H and I have been arguing all weekend, and I know it is mostly my fault. I have just been so on edge recently! He is a great hands on dad, and I know I am lucky for that. But he has this little problem with being able to sleep through ANYTHING! He has no problems getting up in the night, but I have to physically wake him up and by that point I am already wide awake. Last night I was screaming at him for not helping with DS who was up every hour. Around 5am I just went downstairs to sleep on the couch. He got up with LOs this morning and fed them and played with them until I woke up around 9. The crazy thing is, I didn't hear a thing when he was feeding them on the couch next to me. I guess when you are so tired, you really can be in that deep of a sleep. 

    Anyone have some stress relief techniques to share? Besides coffee, I have nothing!

  • Let DH take care of the babies...take a nice hot bubble bath and read a book. It gives my brain about an hour to wind down and do something that I enjoy. Works like a charm.

  • Get a sitter and get the both of you out of the house together.  You'll feel like a human again and you both can do something relaxing together that might help the tension between you two.
