Wishing for Rest

I'm feeling kinda worn out this week.  Kaylynn's up in her crib crying.  She didn't want to eat or play and, not surprisingly, doesn't want to nap either.  Desmond's watching Bambi and I'm counting down the minutes until Davin comes home. 

Hopefully soon Kaylynn will start sleeping through the night.  I feel like a whole new person when I'm rested.  Nine months of interrupted sleep is just about driving me crazy!  In the past two weeks Kaylynn has only slept through the night twice.  I think I'll need two or three weeks of good sleep to start feeling normal again.  It's actually hard for me to remember what that feels like.

I want to enjoy the kids and get out of this mere survival mode I feel stuck in.  I want to plan fun things for our week.  Usually I spend the day counting down the minutes to the next nap, rummaging the fridge for a snack for Desmond, or cleaning up yet another mess.  I could benefit from better planning: easy food, simple activities, and getting myself to bed early.  Maybe next week I can attempt that...
