Sweet Rest

We've been a little off lately. And by "we," I mean Little One. And by "off," I mean sleepless.

We've weened our way to one nap a day which I really fought her over, but has turned into a lovely time for all of us. Occasionally she has a two napper day, but that's rare. Lately, however, we've been doing no-napping and early waking. This has multiple effects, none of which are good.

I believe LO has got a cold...a good bit of coughing, a runny nose, and judging from the burning in my throat, a possible sore throat as well. This keeps her from eating well. Which keeps her from sleeping well. Which keeps me from sleeping well...

We'll get through this, no doubt. I've learned that taking a half dose of Sominex to alleviate my sleeplessness doesn't do this body any good unless I have the luxury of sleeping for the next three days. Rest is good for the soul. And boy am I ready for some rest.
