Sleep deprived

I don't wanna over exaggerate. but lately I have been reduced to one getting about 3hrs of sleep per night. As a result, I have started waking myself up, during day time cat naps, by loud bursts of snoring while falling asleep in milliseconds it seems. Its hard as hell not to burst into tears hearing my entire family having sweet dreams which cause them to talk in their sleep. Hell yeah I'm jealous!

Last night I went to bed at 11pm only to be waken up by rhe grunts of my youngest daughter wanting milk and a diaper. Having slept all day, she is now bright eyed and bushy tailed for the next 2hrs as she milks me dry LOL. Somehow I developed a dull annoying headache, probably from no air circulation and a tangled mass of hair that aint beem combed in like a week. As a result, the hair is sitting straight up on my head. Can you imagine? It's 4:28am...I'm blogging with 1 finger on the living room chair while the baby nurses and falls asleep. Whoever said sleep while the baby sleeps forgot to mention how to do that when you have other children and you cant go back to sleep. Ok, I'm gonna at least attempt it now because my husband will be up in an hour for work: turning on bright a-- lights, running water for days while shaving, and slamming cabinets. Why do men do that?!
