I’m confident that if I went to the doctor, he’d diagnose me with child-induced insomnia. Now that I have three kids, I don’t think there’s an hour in a day wherein all of them are asleep at the same time.
This has made for some very interesting nights. Don’t get me wrong, though. I wouldn’t trade being a dad for anything in the world. Plus, my kids are too stinking cute to be mad at for long. Yep, I love them even though they obviously have it in for me.
The good news is that despite my extreme lack of deep slumber, I have been writing something every day. It’s not always Journey of St. Laurent stuff, but often it is. And it really feels good.
Just so you know, while writing this short post, all three of my kids have awakened and been sent back to bed. Ok, so I really don’t “send” the three month old to bed, but you get the point.
So if anybody out there has any getting-kids-to-sleep-all-night secrets that don’t involve beating my children or drugging them to sleep, I’m all ears.
