time warp

I feel like I've been living in this weird time warp for the last three weeks. In some ways I've done more then I usually manage in a couple of weeks. On the other hand, I feel like I've accomplished nothing at all. The kids have gone through a whole truckload of changes and challenges and growth spurts and such... but I'd have too hard of a time trying to list it all. I've managed to handle the kids and the house all on my own for a few weeks and then also learned to live with a house full of guests for a couple of weeks following that. Stella has begun sleeping five to six hours at a time, which is much more then I had ever hoped for! (Especially since Kaspar still does not manage more then four hour long intervals of sleep!!!) However, her chosen hours of sleep are between 6pm and 12am, which really does no good to me, because I can hardly leave everything and fall asleep at 6pm. I did try keeping her up for a few extra hours in the evenings, but it did absolutely nothing. She woke up at midnight regardless of the hour she fell asleep at. Go figure! So, I'm still waking up every couple of hours a night with one kid or the other. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end? And when it does... will I be able to sleep, after years of not sleeping? Maybe that's why so many women are insomniacs as they get older. Ah well. Life is definitely NOT boring! And that's more then some people can say. Ha!
