If I can’t have a w(h)ine then what can I have?
By hissychick | July 21, 2008
Total amount of sleep: approximately six hours (broken by night time booby calls of course).
Number of months since I last had eight hours’ sleep in a row: Fifteen(ish).
Total number of minutes that I had to myself without a child clinging to my leg or demanding my attention between 7am and 7:30 pm today: zero.
Number of trips to the toilet where I was able to close the door and not be asked whether I was doing a wee or a poo or without a toddler standing at the safety gate screaming their head off with separation anxiety: zero
Number of minor accidents today: five. A: a split lip, a tiny heart sticker lodged in her eye (don’t ask, I tried to dislodge it and after much carry on I still can’t find the little fucker), one thumb slammed in car door. E: one forehead graze/bruise, partial ingestion of the keypad of my mobile phone (what the?)
Number of accidents that occurred simultaneously: two. Which led me to ponder…do you deal with potential head injury or blood from mouth first, and can you do it calmly with two children screaming their heads off in stereo?
Amount of heartbreak at the decisive way in which husband offers the use of all of our baby stuff to his brother and newly pregnant partner because according to him we’re done: Lots.

Everything boils down to Reason #1 - lack of sleep!
When will we ever get a good nights rest you think ?

JLow- I can see that I wasn’t clear with my last comment. What I meant was that mr hissychick will not be swayed on having another child down the track
Posted by: hissychick on July 22nd, 2008 at 7:08 amHmm looks like you are not the only one (still) lacking sleep… totally misread that…
But it’s also the same sentiment in my household, on stopping at 2. Only that *I* had wanted 3.

Posted by: JLow on July 22nd, 2008 at 5:41 pmYou know, what, Mommy?
You should get toddlerdaddy to take the girls out for a couple of hours every weekend so you can Sleep. And make sure you sleep and not do some chores or blog or read…
I won’t be able to do anything right at all if I was as deprived of sleep as you. I’d probably just drop off to bed even if the boys were fighting on top of me.
