I just wanna sleep!

I live in Canada, the land of eternal colds, the Rockies, and Daylight Savings Time... Two of which suck, and one is very beautiful... I'll give you a minute to guess which is which.

Time's up! Daylight Savings Time and colds are the winners of the Sucky Part of Canada Prize.

So, at this moment, H. and I are suffering from both. He's had a cold for a few days now, and we're just getting over it, but he's still tired and not eating and sleeping well... which means I'm not sleeping well either.

Lately he's been waking up 2-6 times a night, inconsolable because he can't breathe. Which means I'm waking up 2-6 times a night to try and help him breath. Not fun!

We were just getting over that, when we put the clocks back... so just as I was getting used to H. waking up at 6 instead of 7, he is waking up at 5 instead of 6. Again, not fun!

So, today was kind of a weird day for us. Because of the time shift, he napped early, on our way to church, and then again on the way to visit my sister and niece. So, in total, an hour and a half, split up. He was all sorts of grumpy when we got home around 5, old time 6pm.

So then it was his usual bedtime, and we were just sitting down to eat. He ate maybe a tiny few bites of bread, and that's it before he absolutely lost it. So, he went in the bath for a good 20 minutes and then it was 6:30, but in his time, half an hour past his bedtime.

Thankfully, he went to sleep after drinking about 6oz of a bottle, and has only woken up once in 2 hours. Maybe tomorrow he will be more accustomed to the time shift, and feelig better enough that he will nap and eat nicely, and maybe have a good nights' sleep tonight!

Most likely, just wishful thinking!
