sleep

You know how all the well meaning people tell you to sleep when the baby sleeps right after you have one? Only you can't bring yourself to because there are so many other things to do? Then, after months and months of sleep deprivation the baby starts sleeping through the night and you think, "Thank god!! I can finally catch up on some lost sleep!" Only you can't, because your body is so used to being woken multiple times a night that it keeps waking up for quite awhile?

Then around 1, you finally start to sleep longer stretches. Then around 3 you might actually get a full night sleep. 

Well, think about getting pregnant around the 18-24 month time frame and then having another baby around 2 1/2 years old of the older one. Now repeat that. Now you have an almost 3 year old, who sleeps perfectly through the night, so you SHOULD finally be getting sleep, only you decided to go back to work and school and your husband thinks that an extra 30 mins of sleep doesn't matter....

That's my life right now. And I suppose I can see his logic if I'd had an alarm go off and was going BACK to sleep. But if that extra 30 mins is an uninterrupted continuation of sleep, it matters.
