Sleep or lack thereof

Yeah, this weekend sucked.  DD slept great Friday night probably because we had to get up by 7 to get ready to go do some stuff with my step-dad.  Saturday night sucked ass.  She slept mostly okay but not me.  You know when you're laying in bed swearing you've not slept but you really have a little but it feels like you've been awake for hours?  Yeah, I had one of those.  I finally took some nyquil about 3 a.m., DD was up at 5 wanting a bottle but thankfully went back to sleep after she sucked it down.  Then last night she slept like pooh which means I did, too.  Partly my own fault.  I stayed up too late reading.  This was after I sang Rock a Bye Baby to her about 58 times to initially get her to sleep.  Then she was up at 3:30 fussing, made her a bottle, and she wouldn't go back to sleep for very long.  So, I think I got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night.  Happy freaking Monday!

    Aw, that sucks. Harley slept like shit Friday & Saturday night. But that's only because of the ear infection. Poor girl's left eye was crusted shut this morning from the pink eye :( can't wait for this to be over with! I never realized how much I touch my face until I had to wash my hands every time after holding my daughter!

    Ew.  I hate pink eye.  I had it once in both eyes.  Whenever Aria gets it I treat myself 1-2 times a day just in case.  I swear I'd get it just by looking at her.  

    Is Harley feeling better aside from her crustiness?

    Caffeine is next on my list. Right now I'm trying to quit smoking.  I was on Zyban for a few months and that helped me cut down but it wasn't fast enough for me.  I switched to Chantix a little over a week ago and have cut back even more.  I could probably quit right now but I'm sticking it out until the absolute last day which is this Friday.  Stupid, huh?   :D

    UGH! DD was a HORRIBLE sleeper. I hope your day is a good one despite the lack of good sleep.
    Thanks!

    MM-Don't you dare start again.  Unless you want to look 40 when you're 30 or 50 when your 40.

    I smoked for almost 8 years, when does the aging start? Because people still think I'm 20. And yes, Harley seems totally unaffected by her illness. I'm going to try to get an appointment with my doc because I think I have another sinus infection. And I'm going to ask for some preventive measures besides hand washing because sometimes I don't think about it before touching my face O.O

    Depends on the person, I think.  I know some chicks who looked like they'd been ridden (rode?) hard and put away wet before they were 30.  I was still being carded into my early 30s.  I'm sure  my new found wrinkles have something to do with the stress BDs created the last couple years, having a baby at my age, my age in general, smoking and caffeine.  I use sunscreen daily on my face so I think I can rule that out.  

    Glad the kiddo is ok.  She slept better last night?

    I wont start again, i know how bad it is for ds, but there are those days where id kill for ten minutes with a cigarette.

    Its gotten better since i stopped drinking coffee. It was giving me heart burn, and for years i had a cigarette with my coffee so now that the coffee is gone im jonseing less.

    I've never been a coffee drinker.  Before the diabetes, I could polish off a 2 liter of pepsi a day.  Since the diabetes it's dt. cherry dr. pepper.  Yummm!

    I just splurged and ordered myself a cheap keurig. I need coffee faster and more often. A 4 month old that's up all night and 2.5 year old who doesn't sleep in mean I need a mid day caffeine pick me up to function. Hope you get more sleep tonight.

    I keep trying to remind myself that when she's screaming her head off for hours.

    Hmmm sounds like colic. If worst comes to worst try wearing her, turning on the stove or bathroom fan and rocking her.

    Also do something to relax. I thought the four month sleep regression was never going to end. One night i wound up in the living room in a rocker with tangled on repeat all night. Ds slept in his bouncer and i slept in the rocker
