Nightingale took Natasha to the store while I kept Boris busy. It was a nice sunny day so after nap I tried to keep the kids outside to burn energy.
In the evening we met Katness and another mutual friend-couple that also have twins for a kidless meal. The meal was actually something we talked about doing and I offered this weekend since I knew May gets busy between the bookends of Mother's Day and Memorial Day.
I like our house and for a city house, it is awesome. However, I'm so over some of the issues and shortcomings it has. Every problem is a Russian Nesting Doll with an issue embedded in another issue wrapped around a new issue.

I'm glad they let you sleep longer! Over Thanksgiving break, my baby actually slept until 9am so I think she was exhausted from everything as well! It was soooo nice.
ReplyDeleteAs for sleep, I was having the same issues for a while, it was anxiety related to personal issues. A few things helped me:
1) Natural Calm taken right before bed. It can be found at Whole Foods. I ended up getting massive headaches from it - I know that's not much of an endorsement - but everyone else talks about it very highly so I think I was an anomaly.
2) Valerian pills before bed. I liked these. They are natural sedatives and helped relax me and keep me asleep for the most part.
3) Melatonin. I use melatonin a lot when we travel for jet lag but it helps when I'm really looking for a good kick to stay asleep.
Hope that helps!
I'll check out the other options. we do the Melatonin, but it seems like after a short time, we build up an immunity to it and have to go off for a while. Or we have a bad batch.
