zzzz

First of all, Eve hasn't been sleeping as well as I thought she would. We had that one awesome night and that was it. I think she's coming down with a cold. She sneezed directly into my eyes yesterday, so if it's a new virus, I'm sure I'll get it. Let me just tell you about last night. OMG. Between Eve and Josie, we were dealing with getting our "kids" to bed for 1.5 hours. Around 10pm Eve woke up crying. She had a little poop. So we changed her, but she had a hard time getting back to sleep. We managed to calm her down and then get into bed ourselves. All is quiet for a minute and then we hear the tick tick tick tick tick of Josie walking in the hall to our bed room. Pause...hold breath.....what's she doing?......Oooof!!! She jumps up on the bed and tries to snuggle between us. Sigh. I get up and take her to the couch (where she sleeps). As I am doing that Eve wakes up and starts crying. Sigh. I go into Eve's room to calm her. As I am doing so, tick tick tick tick...Josie comes to investigate. She leaves and I calm Eve. I go to check on Josie and she's no where to be found. I finally spot her on the floor next to my bed. Ug. I pick her up and take her back to the living room (We won't leave her on the floor in our room because we have the fan on and it's cold. It would be just a matter of time before she tried to join us in bed again.). Cue Eve. Calm. Tick tick tick tick tick....jump! snuggle snuggle. Jim ejects her but doesn't get out of bed. pause......jump! snuggle snuggle. Jim ejects her. Cue Eve. Ug. We give Eve motrin in case she has a sore throat from postnasal drip. Finally get her calm. Go to bed. Tick tick tick tick....jump! ARE YOU KIDDING??????????? This cycle lasted an hour and a half. I finally ended up putting Josie on the dog bed in her crate for the night. It was unreal!! If we weren't so friggin' tired it would have been hilarious. Of course, I was crying instead from worry about Eve (I had had a "down" day). Jim was wonderful and was very comforting to me. I'm so glad for him. Wish us a better night tonight!!!
