Last Night Almost Broke Me

I feel like I’ve been running on fumes all weekend. Between keeping the kids entertained, organizing the house, and trying to get my own work done, there hasn’t been a second just for me. The only time I can sneak in work is during Bear’s naps or late at night after everyone’s finally asleep — and even then, it feels like I’m racing against the clock.

Last night was brutal. Bear went down around 8:30, and I thought I’d finally get a stretch of sleep. But he woke up at 2 a.m. and just would not go back down. I spent hours trying everything — cuddles, rocking, just laying with him — nothing stuck. He finally crashed around 6:30 or 7, which meant I got maybe an hour of rest before I had to be up again at 8 to get my oldest ready for school.
