Whew. I just searched "can't sleep" and found this thread. I am SO glad its not just me. I am totally exhausted. Bella and Skeeter had me up 3 times last night for no apparent reason. The bad thing is I think Skeeter riles Bella up! I have been up since 5am on a Saturday. Killin me!
I want to put her back in her crate and make her go back to sleep, but she jumps up and down and barks and cries really loud. Jeremy (boyfriend) gets very annoyed b/c then HE wakes up too and tell me to get her out so she'll stop. I know I know I shouldn't be giving in, but it saves me from a grumpy Jeremy!!!
I am going to try to talk to Jeremy and tell him I am going to let her cry and simply give her the "go night night" command and then totally ignore her. I can't take this not sleeping on the weeks. I DO value my sleep oh so much! Skeeter is 2 1/2 yrs old and sleeps in a bed next to Jeremy, not in a crate. So when he wakes up he goes to her crate and harasses her or she hears him. One way or another they both get up and drive me NUTS!
I feel so bad complaing about my little ones but gosh I am sleepy....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....
