The Noodle Compound V. 2.0

Get some lip service here.

kamap is tired so very very tired.
Matthew hasn't been sleeping well for the last three weeks. Wakes up screaming or crying for the first time between 11:30 and 00:30 then a second time between 02:30 and 03:30 and another time between 04:30 and 5:30. There are nights he wakes up 4-5 times, so I have slept way to little.
Last thursday I crashed and burned and went to the doctor. I have a case severe sleep deprivation.
She wrote me home for 6 days and today is the first day back at work.

We have tried numerous things to help him but nothing seems to be working.
 
Really sorry to hear that, kids not sleeping is the worst! Not that kids always slept great, but never really had trouble in that way, hope you can figure it out and get some rest.
 
The pediatrician our doctor contacted, told her it's proabably a phase and should stop in a few more weeks.
We can't handle a few more weeks of too little sleep, my wife is at the edge of crashing and burning and I'm nor far behind her.
Even if I have had a few days to sleep in the day, it wasn't nearly enough, plus the nights still beeing crap I'm way behind on sleep. If I have to go another week or 2 of practiacally no sleep I'll be back at the doctor.
 
You'll get through it, it's amazing the things you can do once you become a parent that you thought you could never do :p
 
Yeah we'll eventually get through it but I hope it's rather sooner then later.
I slept for 5 hours straight this night plus another 2 and a half before that.
That's the most sleep I have gotten in 3 weeks.
The stupid thing is, Matthew slept the whole night trough but Collin had to crawl into our bed at 00:30 ish, I could put him right back to bed without problem but I was awoken. Now if Colling had stayed in bed I would have gotten 7:30h of sleep.
Though I can't be mad at Collin because he has been awesome these last three weeks.
Beeing on the background, letting his brother hog all the attention and giving up everything his brother wants to have, so as not to make it harder on us and his brother.
Giving his mother and me hugs when he notices we are getting upset because Matthew is beeing difficult.
Other small things that on itself don't do much but combined really help.

Matthew is difficult because he doesn't sleep enough himself and therefor everything that isn't to his liking is reason to throw a temper tantrum, which is normal for kids this age that don't sleep enough. He also has dificulties deciding things, like what he wants to eat and changes his decision on a whim.

When Matthew is back to his regular sleeping pattern and is his usual self again, we are gonna treat Collin to something special.
 
OK, It'll probably surprise a lot of you, but I've actually never owned a gun store, or a bunch of other things that aren't relevant. Quit trying to change the topic. (I HAVE owned some interesting things, but that's a different post after the statute of limitations expires.)

Some of you may similarly never have owned a gun shop, but I'll throw this hypothetical question out to the community: If you were a counter person at a gun store, which would be the creepiest purchase request:

A: "All, I mean ALL the (insert ammo name here) you have. How soon can you get more?"

B: "Just the one bullet, please."

C: "Just the one . . . you know what, make it two."

I think about this stuff all the time.

Tomorrow I'll bore you all with my idea to mount motorcycle-style sidecars to fighter jets, the copilot just terrified and holding on for his life as the plane pushes Mach 2 at 40,000 feet. Makes me so happy.

Love you all.
