the discipline post got me thinking! I've definitely begged "go the f* to sleep!" in the middle of the night. "What is wrong with you???" "why the crap won't you sleep?" etc. etc. I always feel like crap the next day that I didn't keep my patience with a baby but in the middle of the night (after over 3 straight years of extremely fractured sleep) I'm starting to lose it I guess?!

my 3 year old had fit after fit after fit the other night. I called it night terrors because she wasn't even fully with it, but I don't know if it was. but we were all deathly ill, she'd start WAILING in her sleep (she's insanely loud!!) and I was afraid she'd wake the baby, who's room is between ours. I'd rush down there and she'd just keep loudly wailing and yelling random stuff (Those aren't my crocs! I need to go to Taaaarget! WAAAAH!) and then would stop, I'd get comfy in bed, be almost asleep..and repeat. This went on for - kid you not - almost 1.5 hours. Toward the end I was losing my mind and actually gently shook her by her shoulders because I was hoping to snap her out of it. I was so upset with myself when I woke up but again...I was so out of it and looney.

anyone else? I figured this may help us feel better about the melting points we all have!
