Sleep deprived

I have talked to a couple of my friends about my struggles at nighttime. Tony and I used Babywise and we had twins that dropped one nighttime nap at 5 weeks and slept from 10pm to 7am at 10 weeks. I was feeling like I had it all together...ha!

Now as I am moving from the toddler well into the preschool stage I find myself wondering "what happened? where did we go wrong??" Thomas sleeps. He loves to sleep and he really can sleep through anything. Partly because he shares his bedroom with Stella....who does not want to sleep. She needs a kiss, another hug, a drink of water, another one of her many animals, to be tucked in again, etc....you get the picture.

I leave the 467 things I still have left to do before my day ends until the kids are in bed. I settle in at the computer or I start grading papers and ~creak~ the twins door opens. How can I feel two completely conflicting emotions...sweetness....this little bunny standing, usually holding a bear, unicorn, dog and tiger...wanting something. And anger...how dare you cut into my time (Ha! My time...more like work time, laundry time, etc) but you know what I mean.

I am here in my office going on very little sleep and I come across this post from not that i don't love my kids that had me laughing out loud and this hilarious post from Poot and Cubby and I realize I am not alone.
