Sorry! I...Ugh- been there and is definitely no fun! Sorry! I agree with Mariah-- don't work more than one in a row and keep busy rather than be disappointed that you're not sleeping. The most helpful thing I've found for baby sleep in general is a book called Babywise. I checked it out from the library, read it, re-read it and had my hubby read it-- it's been great for my kids.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111140096891010907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537044350174460655.post-6798321639728745382010-06-21T15:41:41.486-07:002010-06-21T15:41:41.486-07:00The only way I can do it is by not working more th...The only way I can do it is by not working more than one shift in a row. When I know I am guaranteed sleep the next night I can make it through the day. Also, I try to plan all of my errands for the day after working. It is easier to stay awake if I am out doing something than if I am at home. It is hard though and I feel your pain! Good luck!matesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961710020006220082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537044350174460655.post-43221015682295154472010-06-21T09:09:38.354-07:002010-06-21T09:09:38.354-07:00OMG, our kids are SOOO alike!

Ummm, that is it.<br /><br />Her naps are all over the place and non existent if she isn't in my arms being walked around.<br /><br />I was going to ask you how work was going.

I think time helped me--maybe I just got used to the sleep deprivation. However, I don't think that getting used to not sleeping is a great idea. Good luck--if anyone can do it, you can. love yaJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012917425898499482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537044350174460655.post-87000798262085227552010-06-21T07:32:55.089-07:002010-06-21T07:32:55.089-07:00FIrst, I just read your mean girls post.
