The Elusive Good Night's Sleep

So we're going through a rough period with sleeping again. It comes and goes, but it definitely seems that a good night's sleep is twice as hard to come by with the two of them. Often one or the other (or way too often both) will be up for some reason. With Clara we don't know what's going on (she can't talk soon enough for us!) - a cold, or that last molar, or maybe on a bad night an ear infection. With Lee it's bed-wetting or a nightmare, or just waking up and being scared of the dark. Honestly, it amazes me that my sister Deb (mother of four boys within six years) ever slept at all, but then again she probably didn't.

Actually I can't complain because we were just away without the girls for a week, so we slept great! I don't know how Bridges' parents slept....they looked a bit tired when we got back. :)

And last night wasn't too bad. They just got up early, although it's my own fault because I woke them up. I was wide awake at 5:30 and thought "Great, I'll go downstairs and have some nice quiet time to myself, do some knitting, post a blog entry, etc..." I gathered my things, crept into the bathroom, and Clara started crying. Then Lee woke up a few minutes later. So here I am, posting a blog entry with two little girls asking to be fed. Gotta run!
