I assume you have a whole sleep routine, bath, lotion, cuddle, book, songs, etc, that kind of thing, But of course just when you get that in place they get sick or the schedule gets thrown off (or in our case you travel and live out of a suitcase for weeks out of the year) and it's back to square one. no one's answer will be the right one for you, so i will shut up now. i just hope you feel better sooner rather than later. I could write a novel...this is what comes of being so out of touch with you, but I just have to say it... screw the wee wisconsin republican and move it if you feel it, but don't if you don't, as long as you are being true to who you are, then wgaf what the evil cynic in your brain thinks.

I wish I had reassuring sleep stories for you, but I just finished spending 2 HOURS putting Liam down for the night. Ugh.

And it's really difficult to know what the heck is going on. Patrick's schedule would get thrown off when he was teething or hitting some crazy developmental spurt, or if he hadn't had enough mommy time. As he gets bigger, I find that too much indoor time will get him all hyped up. I've also had several friends who did a trial of co sleeping with older infants (like Clark) when then went through this phase. Best of luck working through it. The sleeping thing is SO HARD.

I can't tell you how many times I've had that out-of-body, "oh-my-gawd-I-am such-a-stereotypical-douchy-yuppie-right-now" moment. Also, that is a bullshit discount, Metro Mart can suck on their 50¢ discount. Oh well, I'm still gonna shop there. Hilarious!

You did make me laugh with your overpriced nuts story! I haven't quite been in that situation at the checkout before, but have been in a shop and been hugely shocked at the price of something, though lingered over it with a thoughtful look across my face, so people don't think I'm tight. I hope the sleeping issues get sorted really soon. What a cute pic! You did make me laugh with your overpriced nuts story!
