I can't decide if I want to title this picture as " Defeated" or " i.need.sleep" ????
(I am still in my jammies and in my bedroom infront of my bed. And yes I realize that my mirror needs to be cleaned and that you can see all the dust )
I take after my Dad, we need no less than 9 hours of sleep to function. I wish I was like my Mom who needs much much less to function. You would think with a newborn, sorry 3 month old, that it would be her that was keeping me up, but no it is my almost 3 year old who just decided to wake up a billion times at night. Last night was no exception. This almost 3 year old, who will remain nameless for this post, usually goes to sleep at 8 p.m. but last night kept wanting or needing something until 10 p.m. then decided to wake up at 1 a.m. Lucky me woke up at 4 a.m. realizing that I started my period, oh joy! Then my almost 3 year old, yup still nameless, decided to again wake up at 6 a.m. after I thought I got her back to sleep I hear her at 6:45 a.m. talking to the 3 month old which of course woke her up when she has been sleeping through the night and was not supposed to wake up for hours yet! So I give up on trying to sleep for the next perceivable future. It may never happen again if things keep up like this. I wish I was my Mom.

Oh, our lives:)
I was once like your mom I used to function great on less sleep. Not so much anymore. Hang in there Sawyer went through this a few weeks ago. It was hideous but it did stop!!
Ouch! It took both my girls until they were 2 to sleep thru the night. Jo just started in Dec. Was up with both of them at different times last night. I totally feel your pain.
xo
I think your mirror looks okay...or maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot...I don't see dust. Welcome to motherhood! I miss the days of getting enough sleep. Oh, how I miss those days. My girls are finally sleeping through the night but Mylie was going through a anti-sleeping problem a few months ago. It was very frustrating. Hope you can get some sleep soon.
I think that is a very powerful image, it conveys every sleep deprived mothers feelings. Well done. And as a side not the dust adds to the feeling of despair.
Can't wait for tomorrow morning!!! Hang tough!!! Lots of Love, and hope you get more sleep soon.
I think not getting enough sleep is the WORST! My children are older now but I remember just sitting on the couch putting on TV just so I could sleep the half hour or as long as the show lasted. At one point I had a newborn, a 2 1/2 year old(who wanted to give up naps and not potty train) and a 5 year old(in kindergarten) The baby would wake every 2 hours, the 2 year old was awake and wanted my attention when the other was down and the 5 year old needed my help with K homework... then dinner then repeat. My Husband could sleep through a hurricane and was too tired when he came home from work..HA...No sleep sucks!!
