You know you are sleep deprived when...

1. You saw all of the hours on the clock the night before from bedtime to wake time: 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

2. You put both of the older children's pj's on without diaper or panties underneath and don't notice until they bring it to your attention.

3. You seriously consider moving lunchtime to 10:30am just so that naptime will come sooner.

4. You repeatedly fall asleep while trying to put the children down for their naps.

5. You walk into a room only to forget why you went there, over and over again all day long.

6. You have trouble falling back asleep after sleeping 3 consecutive hours twice in one night because you have gotten "so much" sleep.

7. You put clothing on backwards and inside out and leave the house without even noticing.

8. You absolutely cannot utter a full Hail Mary or Our Father without yawning multiple times.

9. You are getting less sleep than you did in college, but you are actually losing brain cells instead of gaining knowledge.

10. You have a new baby in the house!

**It is really not that bad. The blessings far outweigh the difficulties. :-)

We are hanging in there. The worst (#!) was when we had a cold and baby was too congested to sleep. At least #'s 1-10 don't all happen in one day! :-) Really we are doing well though. It is quite amusing this sleepy thing!
