We’ve had so little sleep for over a month that we are completely and utterly run down and now Scott has the most wicked case of pink-eye I think I have ever seen.  And is off work for the second time in 2009.  (Seeing as he is booked solid for 2009, simply rescheduling clients is a truly remarkable feat).  We were at our most sleep deprived stint on record,  even worse than when Bob was little  – my ‘high needs’ son nursed most nights every 45 minutes, then later straight from 4am on, until we night weaned him when I got pregnant with Maggie.

We have crammed all of our winter sickness into about 6 weeks and boy.  Can I get a vacation over here?  Though I would settle for a pedicure.  Or even just a hot shower.

But last night, everyone slept.  Meeps didn’t cry herself into consciousness 10 times, the demoted hunting dog didn’t demand a 2am potty break, Bob didn’t have a nightmare, nope.  Nothing.  Everyone just slept.  Hallelujah.

Here’s Bob in his jammers and Meeps in another little Amish style dress that I sewed her.  I sewed Bob a shirt yesterday using the Amish pattern, though I need to redo the collar.  Today we are taking a field trip with Ida to the Amish school house for the afternoon.  (“Show & tell?” my friend ribbed me).  I’ll get to see how lots of those little collars are made then.  Can’t wait!
