Aha! My pathological inability to discard videotapes saves the day! Since I woke up wide awake at 6am, I decided to finally trade out my DVD recorder from the bedroom so I could play DVDs on my bigscreen living room TV. My wide assortment of tape storage shelving includes two that are the perfect height to hold up the recorder despite the mere 3 inches of slack on the incoming cable. I'm now able to screen movies and other recordings for people I don't want to sleep with.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

My children have adapted to the new bedtime but refuse to stay in bed past 6:30. It's making me very cranky.

At least they didn't land on your head?

Technically true but Liv does tend to kick me in the head from time to time if she managed to crawl into our bed when I'm too tired to take her back to her own.

Pfft. I wish I had a root and could sleep into the gloriously late hour of 6:30.
Last night I slept from 9:30 to 2am and that was the longest uninterrupted stretch I've had this week.

Would it be possible to cut out her naps, Hec? Or would that be MORE impossible? Both my instantly stopped napping when they turned 2, but at least there were 10 hours of sleep at night.

Sorry about lack of sleep, Hec. That sounds rough.

I think the worst part of the sleep dep was how snappish DH and I got with each other. When you're both exhausted, it's hard to be civil.

Last night kinda sucked sleep-wise for me as well. Got to sleep at 12:30, woke up at 4:00, tried to sleep until 6:00. Hopefully I'll just sort of pass out tonight and get a good 6-7 hours of sleep.

That's definitely an issue. She's down to just an hour long nap at daycare.
It's more that she keeps waking up and won't go back to sleep readily. This week (while we've been insisting that she sleep in her bed all night) she's up every couple hours like a newborn.
