Exhaustion

Do you know what it's like to be sleep deprived?  I don't mean to go out drinking one night and then take the next 3 nights to recover.  I mean - every single night for a week straight I want you to set your alarm clock to go off in intervals of 2 hours then 3 hours. 

Go to bed at 10pm. 
Wake up at midnight. 
Go back to bed at 12:45. 
Wake up again at 3am. 
Back to bed around 3:30.
Wake up at 5:00. 
Go back to sleep around 5:45 and get out of bed for the day at 6:30.

This is a rough draft of what our week has been.  I think I'm delirious. 

When the girls were 1st home - I would stay in their room for 12 hours at a clip.  Changing, feeding, pumping, sleeping, changing, feeding, pumping, sleeping.........in 12 hours I would sleep 4.  I don't think I was even this delirious then.  I'm not sure what has changed.  But I'm too old for this shit! 

On a better note - someone told me tonight their neighbor had QUADS.  And then had another one.  Ok - so someone IS worse off than us!!!!  I'll sleep on that.  (I mean...who would have MORE after FOUR?).  I think sometimes I really am delirious.  Did I say that already?
