Work and Sleep
Oct. 6th, 2011 12:20 pmI've been back at work for *one day* and I already hate it.
Pearl and Ruby were apparently fine at my parents' without me, but as soon as we got home they wanted to be with me all night. And just one night of doing that was apparently enough to set a new pattern of constant waking for both of them.
So we have gone from waking 3-4 times a night to waking 10-12 times. Just a few days of this have exhausted me.
And depressed me because *this is exactly what happened last time*. Pearl's sleep was particularly bad, fiendishly bad for the year that I worked before Ruby was born.
I can see that it is going to be exactly the same. I am going to be a zombie with exhaustion for year after year.
Edited to say: No doubt I would feel less grumpy if a, I had sleep and b, I didn't have to start a whole new range of physio with Ruby.
