So tired . . .

It's contagious, this tiredness. The baby is tired and won't fall asleep, which makes Momma tired, who when she reaches the point of too tired to cope, passes said baby off to Daddy, who already worked all night and was probably tired before the baby . . .

Then there's the tired, sick Little Miss who hasn't slept a whole night in her bed in so long neither parent can remember when it happened last. And Big Brother entertains himself all day, avoiding the cranky bunch, by riding his bike with friends, playing Legos, and playing video games, and wears himself out by late afternoon.

We're just so tired . . . lets all go to sleep. (Please?)

I hope everyone gets a good night of sleep really soon.

New babies + illness + fatigue = cranky tired families.

Try to remember that this too shall pass... not soon enough, but it really shall! Hang in there. Praying for sleep for all of you, sooner rather than later!

Didn't mean to worry everyone--it was one of those nights. Everyone is a bit more rested now, and baby has figured out sleeping at night, so we're in good shape. Katie is on her way to getting better, too.

Being the mom is the best, most of the time it's the hardest job but definetly the most rewarding. You are such a great little mom and your family is so cute.
