Hey Jacquie I think you have my boys over there! haha, Dakota is a walker and

talker, is a wetter and Sebastian needs no sleep, thus nobody else

should have any either!

PS..OK, I guess I have it a little better...no babies here;)

oh (((jacquie)))

i so very much, feel for you!!!

its so hard to function, when

you don't get the right kind of

sleep..and enough of it!! I haven't

had much myself, not because of jenna

at all, but my 17 month old, still

wakes up at least once a night, and

is usually up by 5am...and it seems

as a person gets older, the more sleep

we need...i know you are young still..

i am not..lol...BUT i definately hope

you start getting some kind of sleep...

if i lived near you, i would watch all

your kids, so you could sleep and sleep and

sleep some more!!!!

good luck~~

something helpful.

,

you are too sweet! I would love to get some sleep but I think my

body is starting to get used to this darn sleep deprivation.

Hopefully your baby will start sleeping all night with no once a

night wakeups! I hate that. It is worse than just having to get up

early. But you have both, early and disturbed sleep. Hugs to you!

Jacquie,

Just a suggestion that you might already be doing, and depending on

if Greggory will tolerate a plastic sheet.

My sister-in-law had a terrible time potty training her NT daughter.

Allyson had 2 to 3 accidents every night. (personally I don't think

she was physically ready, but that's another issue) Anyway, Sheryl

would make the bed each day in layers. Plastic sheet, regular sheet,

plastic sheet, regular sheet... about 3 layers deep. So all she had

to do was take one layer off and the bed was ready to put the cleaned

up child back into. Saved a few minutes sleep time.

Iain (dh) does this too! It is so annoying! Iain normally says things like " £5

in the Toyota at pump number 1, madam? " , he works in a gas station ;-)

Eeewww!!

I must say that cleaning vomit is the WORST part of parenting for me.

I can handle blood, pee, poop...you name it, but vomit...eeeeewwwww!!

I never get lucky enough that the other girl stays asleep when one of

them is ill. The last time got sick in the top bunk, she leaned

over the side and Sami looked up to see what was happening. It's not

as bad as it sounds. just doused Sami's blanket, but she missed

Sami's face.

Book yourself a weekend at a nearby hotel.

There is no rest for the weary

I am soooo tired. Soooooooo very tired. I want some sleep. I need

some sleep. I need a full night. Just a weekend away from the needs

of everyone else's nighttime sleeping habits! Jeff talks and walks in

his sleep. Sometimes so loudly he wakes other sleeping family

members! Greggory wets the bed and needs the sheets changed and

himself clened up or he just wakes up. Alec doesnt seem to need

sleep. ugh. He could be up for days sometimes. Last night he went to

sleep but has been up since 3am! Yessenia is excused for now as she

is just a baby but she still has to be included in the list of people

who keep me from having a full nights sleep. Although she did sleep

until 4am this time. But I need sleep! I have not had a full nights

sleep since I married Jeff 7 yrs ago! No wait, I have had 2 nights.

Once when we went away for the night and once when the boys slept all

night by some fluke!

[Guest guest]

That's a great idea!

ahhhh Jacquie H I understand how you feel. Even though I don't have

that many people keeping me awake. Just one. But I sometimes wake

myself up with my sleep talking. I didn't that the other night. And

last night I was sleep walking taking care of Mark. had a hard

time believe that at first, but I ask him to tell me what I did. I

didn't remember a thing, so I know I was sleep walking. He couldn't

believe that my eyes where open and that I could carry on a

conversation in my sleep. I guess now he does. ;o)

That's a neat idea. I wish I would have thought of that when I was

married to my x husband. He peed the bed all the time, and if he was

drinking it was garenteed that he would pee the bed. So besides

having to change sheets and do wash I always had to take a shower in

the middle of the night. I did eventually smarten up and if he was

drinking I made him sleep on the floor.

That's okay, I laugh about it now too. Sami on the other hand, still

hasn't forgotten. She won't even sleep in the same room if 's

sick.

LOL That's funny. It reminds me of when started spending the

night regularly. I pushed him and I yelled at him in my

sleep... " When are you going to fix that damn toilet. " He was kind of

shocked because he didn't realize then that I talked in my sleep. ha

ha What a way to find out! )

[Guest guest]

That makes me laugh. One day Jeff and I decided to have a minivaction

and gave the kids to my parents and decided to rent a hotel room for

the night. We couldnt afford to go anywhere and that might cut into

our time anyway so we stayed at out local hotel. Well Jeff went to

check us in and the lady was very nice until she saw his address. She

shot hima dirty look and was very short with him after that.

Especially when he asked for a double room and we had no luggage! LOL

Why didn't he just tell her you guys were on a one-night vacation from the

kids?

I checked into a hotel in St Catharines just a few blocks down from our

apartment one night for the same reason, and that's what I did!

Now, maybe I'm warped or a bad person or something, but I would have

had to mess with her for making assumptions.

I would have started running my hands all over his body and telling

him how hot I was and how we had to hurry before my husband realized

where I was. >:]

Oh Jacquie, sleep deprivation is awful. Maybe someone could help you for a few

hours during the day so you could rest? And take advantage of Yessenia's naps to

get some ZZZ yourself.

Thanks. I think maybe Jeff will take charge of the kids for a few

hours so I can lock the door and get some rest. Yessenia only naps

for about 45mins at a time and I take at least 20 to fall asleep.
