Sleepless in the heartland...

I know that God is always molding me but, does it have to be in the middle of the night?

Aidan has been struggling to fall asleep for weeks therefore is extremely overtired. He holds it together well for school then totally melts down in the evening when he gets home.

Last night hit an all time record of sleeplessness for everyone...Alayna woke up with a dirty diaper at 9 (but went back to sleep even with 5 teeth coming in and all the drooling and sinus drainage with that) but, Aidan was awake until after midnight then up again at 6:30am. AHHH!

We kept him home today so that he could catch up on sleep. Thankfully he did have a nap. We had to reschedule Alayna's PT because both kids had just fallen asleep when it was time to leave. Trust me I wasn't waking a sleeping baby or 6 year old.

Prayerfully tonight will be a better night sleep for all of us. We will take any and all prayers that you can offer us!

I pray that our words and actions will be pleasing to God as we raise our children.

I saw this post title in my reader and I thought...ME TOO! We've been having weird sleepless issues as well, with Kinlee more, but also with Braska. I don't know what's up, but it is making me a grouchy mommy more than I'd like! Here's hoping ALL of the kids are sleeping peacefully and all night tonight!

I'll be praying tonight for good sleep for you all. I know what it's like to be sleep deprived!

Man Jax has been the same way. Last night he was up at 2 ready to play! Praying for sleep tonight.
