If you were able to catch my last post you would know that I have had a rough couple of days. The main reason for this is lack of sleep. I am one of those people who requires my nightly eight hours or I just do not function well at all. What you might ask could possibly be keeping me awake at night? Hmmm...
It is definitely not me who has been up the last 8 nights now with our son who simply refuses to sleep from the hours of 2am to 5am in the morning. I have not tried everything from changing his bed time, nap schedule, giving Tylenol (maybe he is teething???), rocking him, trying to get him to sleep in our bed, white noise, letting him cry it out, etc. It was not me who at three o'clock this morning sat on my bedroom floor and sobbed uncontrollably over the ear piercing screams coming from my son's room and the realization that this was another night down the tube.
It was not me who called my friend Tammy this morning and "thought" out loud to her that I couldn't do this another night and that I might have to sleep in my car tonight just to get more than 2 hours of sleep in a row and 4 hours all together. It was not me who thought after I hung up that the idea of sleeping in my car wasn't half bad. I did not then go through the logistics of how I could do that safely for both my kids and me. That is a crazy idea and not something I would ever truly consider. Right?
Surely not!
It was not me who could have been found wondering the aisles of Walmart in tears yesterday because I was too stressed and too tired to even see straight. I did not have to call my friend Jenn L. and have her talk me through the tears and tell me that even though it doesn't feel like it God really is on my side. Certainly not!
It is not me that is sitting here at this computer at 10am and wishing it was time for bed already.
Nope not me!

Great not me monday. I have been that tierd a few times I hate the blured vision
Here is my idea for you (besides praying). Take all three kids to the park to run around for a long time. Come home and tickle all of them until you all can laugh no more. Order pizza for dinner and hope for the best! While you are doing all this, the laundry can wait, the grocery shopping can wait, the phone calls can wait, etc...It will all still be there when you are done putting a little smile on everyone's faces.
Love,
Carrie
I will be praying for you.
I have not had those moments as well. Hang in there!
Now I understand all of this...since Erin is here. :) We went through a week or so (after I went back to work) when she just wouldn't go to sleep. Every time I walked through the bedroom and Joe was asleep, I just wanted to throw a shoe at him! Since it sounds like you are headed back to Houston we have GOT to get together!!!!
