Ask Moxie has a lot on the "4 month sleep regression." It is one of the classic periods of evil. (Well, disrupted sleep patterns as a result of developmental changes in other areas.)
Nine months is the other time of EVIL. You think your kid is big and settled, and BAM. Casper was up every hour all night for weeks. (She was, in general, evil in the night until age 3. Dillo was much better.)
For Glamcookie.
Owen's feverish and staying home today.
have a martini.
To be safe, have a shot of clear liquor, possibly with some sort of vermouth in some proportion, possibly with a garnish. Unless definitional discussions help you get through the sleepless nights, in which case have a martini.
flea beat me to it, but I was just coming here to post 4 MONTH SLEEP REGRESSION! Seriously.
amych made me snorffle coffee
Shit I didn't say, via email: "PS: FUCK YOU."
I feel very proud of myself.
Dear Lord- I am annoyed at work to day by little things a) the previous mentioned Administrative Professionals Day becoming an All Staff Appreciation Day and b) other "administrative professionals" who think I am crazy for having my phone lists/cheat information on the computer instead of printed in a book. I know the computers could be down, but we are in the 21st century people.
Thanks to last night's Daily Show, my LJ/DW name is now "Toppington Von Monocle".
Baby was up at 2, 4, and up for the day at 5:20. Zombie Mama. He keeps going to bed too early and I can't get him back on schedule. Parents, any tips?
Keep him awake as late as possible by pretty much any means possible. We used to run ice cubes along the bottoms of Nate's feet. Seriously, that's what our pediatrician recommended, especially after I discovered that it wasn't a short amount of sleep that did me in, necessarily, but interrupted sleep. We'd get to down by eleven or midnight and he'd sleep through until six or seven and it was GLORIOUS.
I managed to catch TDS last night. I think the interview could have been interesting, but it was too short to really get into anything.
