Sleep??

I got home from work this morning a little extra cranky. Sometimes a lack of sleep will do that to you. Actually the other day I came home from work almost angry!!! and for no real reason. I told Allie I was really mad and that there was no reason for me to be mad... I just was! I finally relaxed and felt better. But sometimes I feel tense, annoyed, grumpy, and cranky for no reason: except that I get no sleep.

Last night was no exception although I was able to rake in 6 hours yesterday during the day, which was nice. I worked pretty hard last night, and at 4:45 Am received a text message from Allie.

"Don't drink coffee before you come home, Danica awoke and she should still be sleeping when you get home so you can catch 45 minutes of sleep"

I quietly opened the door and tippy toed into the house. Of course Danica was up in her crib making cranky noises. "Well", I thought to myself, "that makes two people in this house that are about to cry!". Really she can sleep till 7:30-8 when we are both up and have something to do. I can't count how many times we've had to wake her up. But when I might actually get a chance at some sleep she's up.

She is still waking once a night. I guess the good news is that Allie and I didn't have much of a chance at normal sleep yet after a year. With the new baby coming soon we both won't have a regular sleep pattern for at least another year.
