She's now standing up in her playpen making cute noises!
How is she not tired? How? She usually sleeps from 9:00 p.m. till 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. And how am I going to function tomorrow on no sleep at all when I already feel near my breaking point?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Susan, I know this is in no way equivalent, but my dogs got me up a half an hour ago and now I'm awake and really REALLY don't want to be. Want to sleep. So tired.
I hope you get some rest or can manage a nap later. I'm sorry about the sleepless night; those aren't fun.

I don't think I've pulled a true all-nighter since college. Even when Annabel was a wee newbie and we were having the feeding problems, I got naps here and there each night.
(And yes, this is a true all-nighter because I was stupid and went to bed at 1:00 a.m. I was finishing up a critique I'd promised a friend, and I thought I'd get to sleep in, since DH is taking first shower, or if Annabel woke up on the early end of her normal pattern, at least I'd have 6 hours of sleep. I can function on 6 hours. But I can't function on this.)

Eeek -- I just looked at the time stamp. You must still be awake.

Yep. Still here. She's whimpering, but when I tried to pick her up and cuddle her, she squirmed after a minute or two of it.
If she falls asleep in the playpen, I'm just going to leave her here and go lie down. She takes naps in it all the time and it's supposed to double as a portable crib, so it should be perfectly safe. But I've never seen her fight sleep this hard before.

My heart truly goes out to you and her -- poor wee thing! Poor wee mommy! I've spent enough time trying to get to sleep that I can sympathize thoroughly with the both of you.

And still here. I can't believe this.

Trust my rage
My dogs do not understand that "Spring Break" means you don't have to go walking before the sun comes up.

Dogs have their own bladder-centric timetable.
It's already 32 degrees here. Being above freezing is a major cause for celebration, after this winter.
