It's a GOOD thing you're so tuned in to her, but maybe you need to ... um ...kinda ignore some of what you're reading . Jus' sayin'......
That's my mistake too...the feeding when we get up thing started with Alex because her med schedule was so insane. Honest to god, the last year of her life I doubt I got more than 2 hours of sleep in a row most nights. It calmed down the first year the Js were here, but then it was more of the same when Wen came because of his seizures. And stayed that way until James crossed because he and Jules just got sicker and sicker. Poor little guys!!!
I can live with getting up at 5...that's when I normally wake up anyway. It's the pushing it further and further back (yes, Patti, I'm talking to YOU!!! ) that's making me crazy. Like Patrice, I am NOT a nice person when forced to get up too early. It's one thing when they're sick or HAVE to go out, but to get up to play with the ball before b'fast is simply the best way to turn me into a raging lunatic, this morning being a good case in point.
I refuse to feed them when they make me get up early...it's a cranky mom lugging them all back to bed. Not that it means getting any more sleep ...by then I'm so irate that no way am I going back to sleep. but it's the principle of the thing!!!!
