The Dangers of Exhaustion

For the last three weeks, Andrew has neglected to remember that he is a good sleeper who stays asleep all night and sleeps for a good ten hours from the time you put him down. He has awakened at a variety of times from 9pm to 4am and has had trouble getting back to sleep once he wakes up. Needless to say, this has taken a predictable toll on the mental acuity of those living in our home; add in overtime at work for Justin and a night class at UW and we are close to complete insanity.

All this to try and explain why, as I stood in front of the mirror last night brushing my teeth I reached down and grabbed Andrew's pacifier. Just as I was about to put it in my mouth, Justin asked what I was doing. I looked up, confused. Questions of that nature are far to complex for my diminished mental state, but as I thought about it I realized that I was wondering if I would sleep better with the binky in my mouth.

It was hard to fall asleep through Justin's random guffaws - the binky didn't help either.
