Maddox has been up from midnight until 6-6:30 in the morning for 4 nights now. I feel like a zombie. We haven't left the house since Monday. I. am. going. crazy. I am also e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d. For the last month Maddox has been taking Melatonin at night. He has been falling asleep by 8:00 pm and sleeping through the night until 7:30 am. It has been heaven!! And now we are back to this. And I am terrified he won't sleep again. I haven't been able to exercise in the morning because I am too tired. Maddox is extremely irritable again and screaming and crying about everything again. When he was getting sleep he was a different boy. Still 3 years old, but not so frustrated or irritable. And our house was a different house
Right now I keep fighting tears because I am so tired again and so scared things won't get back to normal.
I did run with my sister on Wed evening. But I went too fast and my knees are killing me. I am supposed to run a 5k tomorrow morning, but I don't know. First Maddox has to sleep, and hopefully my knees feel better. That is also frustrating.
I did dump some sand on a large tablecloth in the kitchen and the boys have been having fun with that. I would love to take them somewhere, but Maddox is in no mood to go anywhere.
Things aren't completely horrible, but right now being this tired makes it feel like it is. I had forgotten how horrible lack of sleep is, and how cranky Maddox is.
The boys have been enjoying a DVD called " the history of spaceflight". Maddox loves space and astronauts and his favorite bedtime book is "this is rocket science" put out by National Geographic. When he watches the DVD he is recognizing the people on there and knows the names of the rockets. Mason likes the experimental rockets that explode.
Well, that's enough whining for now. Hopefully Maddox sleeps through the night tonight. That would help a ton.

I hope your boy is back to sleeping, Jules. And that your knee feels better. :) I know how much you love homeschooling and appreciated your honest post about the hard days. (that we all have!) xoxo
Thanks Steph! My knees were doing really well today until I carried Maddox, 2grocery bags and our diaper bag up the back porch stairs. Now the left knee is a mess again. Icing it right now. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. I miss exercising. Maddox is sleeping again. Hooray for us! He is back to his sweet funny self again. Our tv died today. We can hear what isngoing on, just a white line going through the center of the tv. Overall a good day.
