I seem to be always awake these days. If it isn't the kids its the damn cats or the job. I love my cats but it's a good thing they are old. I don't love my job but hey, it pays the bills.
I slept at the hotel for 12 hours. We were both snoring by 9pm! Oh the sleep was just glorious. I didn't even dream.
Back home now and we have launched into sleep training again. Last night they went down fine but at 3am (or was it 4am?) Mimi was hollering. I went in and hushed and kissed her but didn't pick her up. She settled down pretty quickly but wouldn't go back to sleep. If I tried to leave the room she would set off again. Eventually at 5am she woke up Pip and so the day began.
We are all wiped.
I want my sleeping kids back. I want my little kids that yawned and told me it was bed time and stayed there.
Tonight I'm doing the interval thing. YIKES. If a 4am you hear two wailing sounds, a cross between a small animal being tortured and siren - that would be us.
