I don't have any children of my own yet but I did help my younger sister a lot when my niece was born--I still help a lot and Madelyn's nearly 22 months old--and my sister always said the same thing. I guess it's common and to be expected but I imagine that it's hard to get used to, if you can even get used to it at all. Sleeping through the night is wonderful, though! I used to spend a night every couple weeks over at my sister's place and I would get up with Madelyn so Mary and Matt could sleep. I remember how just that one night of uninterrupted sleep was magic to them!

As far as RL goes with me, I'm working on a resume to get a better job so that will help tremendously. I don't have a stellar history to put on this thing so wish me lots of luck that I can get by on my good merits!
Hope all is well with the rest of you Gazers!
Hugs to all,
Sarah
