In sleep news, yesterday I went to bed at about 8, fell asleep about 8:30, woke up with the baby at 9:45, woke up with the baby at 12, woke up because of the frat boys next door at 1:30 and stayed awake, the baby woke up at 2, mr. flea came in at 3, we were up together until 3:15, at which point I went to sleep on the couch, woke up with Casper at 4, woke up to feed the baby at 4:30, he wouldn't go back to sleep, I went out to the couch at 5 to let mr. flea deal with him, slept on and off according to how much noise he was making until 6:30, and then got up.

Everyone in my house except mr. flea (and the innocent, quiet cat), plus everyone living next door? ON THE LIST.

I think I need an intervention.

sarameg, i have this at home if you're interested. i can upload.

Thanks for the offer, but no need. I'll get around to getting it once I figure out what to do with the dialup situation at home.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's a little more complicated with a toddler in the mix. With two, one of them manages to wake up when the other one's asleep.

I can't imagine adding loud, idiot frat boys to the situation.

But I'm saying, just the one baby terrifies me, sleep-dep-wise, not to even mention all that craziness!

Yeah--it's hard but you learn to reset your scale of exhaustion.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An entire department on my floor is in a meeting, and predictably, it's the department with the most customer foot traffic, and even more predictably, everyone's pissy that Nobody Told Them that entire department would be in a meeting for a whole hour today.

I want to make the elevator lobby run red and sticky with their blood.
