Sleep (lack of) and Trips (not taken)

Current effort making sleep difficult: get Max into his own bed all night long.
  • Last week - awful! Not much sleep for me or Max most of the week. Cranky mom, cranky kid.
  • Weekend - not bad! Escape valve of "okay to come in Saturday nights" seemed to help a lot.
  • This week - much better. Two nights of staying in his bed (Monday, continuously, Tuesday, just one break for a snuggle). Too bad I'm now trained to wake up at 2 & 4 am every night. So now it's my sleep schedule that is the problem!

Trips that aren't getting taken:

  • Considered a quick trip to Leavenworth for this weekend, looking for snow. Couldn't find an appropriate room, decided it was too much hassle anyway. Holding out for a drive to Snoqualmie on Saturday to see snow. Maybe it'll happen.
  • Considered a spring break trip to Orlando - mostly so Max could see Kennedy Space Center. Thought, heck, why not see Disney World. Priced some packages, got extreme sticker shock, read the Unofficial Guide, decided it was a big hassle too! Scratch that vacation.

Other news:

  • Observation: shouldn't tease others about blog breaks - it causes them on your own blog.
  • New on the needles: Gathered Pullover in Knit Picks Telemark Colonial Blue. Getting gauge, but it seems too big. Hmm. Need to measure again.

I hate sticker shock on the vacation packages! Snow is pretty cheap though. :-)

Good luck with the sleepless nights. I'm sure it will get better. Eventually.

Good luck with the sleeping. We're seriously considering getting E his own ipod so he can listen at night and maybe that would make him like his bed? Probably not, but he loves him some music.

Yeah, Disneyworld is crazy to plan for, but I'll let you know if it's worth it when we get back.
