Then again, that sounds like effort and we probably just all need to nap...! You know what else drives me nuts? How my kid supposedly naps happily--and without coaxing/patting/bribery in school. I mean: SERIOUSLY??!deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591691453280770041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-64890907661209131462008-10-14T23:21:00.000-07:002008-10-14T23:21:00.000-07:00Ahhhh!

I don't think about it anymore mostly b/c my 20 month yr old isn't one to stay asleep all night...I don't get up...but I do lay there awake hearing her various sounds and movements. Every time it happens my husband says the same thing.."why bitch about it, she's done this since she came out of you, isn't it time we got used to it". The funny thing is that no matter how many sleepless nights we had in school, pulling those all nighters, you NEVER get used to it. Especially when you finally move into the working world and are free from doing school work on sundays and can finally get 8 hours again. Now Im back to those occasional all nighters. I must have blocked those college days b/c like many moms, I really can't deal...and still stomp my feet to her room. Man, I can't wait when she calls me up as a freshman in college bitchin about how she hasn't slept for days..."Ohhh realllyyy?"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936264271440368813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-40075772565947115722008-10-14T18:10:00.000-07:002008-10-14T18:10:00.000-07:00It really is a great irony that the little people ...It really is a great irony that the little people we want and force to sleep all the time don't want to and that we, the moms, would step in front of moving traffic for another hour of sleep but it's just not going to happen. I think all the famous people who claim not to sleep are probably just lying to seem cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-8276435183265418552008-10-14T17:30:00.000-07:002008-10-14T17:30:00.000-07:00i am back in the sleep deprived devi group...why? ...i am back in the sleep deprived devi group...why? because my "sensitive" kid is having a hard time with preschool. really not his fault, since he goes to a jewish temple preschool and they have more holidays than god knows who. the silver lining...he got a cold on the ONE day he went to school in two weeks, which clearly makes things...well...i'll just stop bitchin now!jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704791040840609494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-26462982759438671502008-10-14T15:28:00.000-07:002008-10-14T15:28:00.000-07:00I used to be embarrassed about how much I talked a...I used to be embarrassed about how much I talked about sleep. I remember being bored by my friends who had babies before me, who were constantly making jokes about sleep deprivation. The thing is that there is truth in the humor, and that truth binds us! And if can laugh at ourselves the sleepiness seems a little more bearable!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-33336751548720017182008-10-14T13:50:00.000-07:002008-10-14T13:50:00.000-07:00This made me laugh.
