I didn't sleep last night

I didn't sleep last night. I usually go to bed shortly after putting the kids to bed. I have been really exhausted however when I lay down I get the oh- so -dreaded -heart -burn. I roll from side to side and last night especially the baby was kicking me all night! I read that babies at this time are awake and asleep in the way they will be as an infant so I maybe should get used to being up all night because this little buddy is up all night! My husband doesn't get home until after 8pm and he stays up all hours of the night. I cannot go to sleep until he gets to bed because I need to make sure his mess is cleaned up before I can sleep or the doors are locked or the garage door is shut all the way. Yes I am a nut. When he got to bed around 3 he woke up Leiton who then followed him to our bed. This is the 3rd night in a row. This isn't working for me right now in my panic state to get some sleep. I went out to the small couch upstairs and tried to sleep. I did...for an hour until Hali woke up and was up for the day. She started doing art in the kitchen and I realized I am done for the night. As she was at school today Leiton told me I could take a nap. SO I let him watch unlimited Boomerang in hopes I could I could fall asleep today. I did..for 2 hours! When I woke up somehow he drank or "lost" a whole gallon of milk. But he did the dishes...with a whole bottle of DAWN. He was so proud of himself how could I be mad. : ) Now, Hali is preparing me a cake in her Easy Bake. I may be tired..but what would I do without my kids.

Oh, you don't want to mess with my sleep! And you really need it especially right now. But good for Leiton for at least letting you feel like you could, even though it cost you a little bit : )
