The Great Escape

January 27th, 2011

We are home and trying to get settled. Unpack, love on a cat or three, try and rest....finally. Little did we know that from Saturday through Tuesday evening that we were only going to have a combined total of 5 hours sleep. Man we are tired! As the evening sets we realize lil' dude has been sleeping all day. Crap he is going to be up all night....wake him....wake him, WAKE HIM NOW!  Too late, it is 3am and no one has slept. All the days have been like this, we MUST find a routine or call the guys with the straight jackets now - I'll have the tapioca please doc. We attempt finding a routine. The routine we have landed on is one in which we take shifts with him in our arms for a couple hours in between trips to the Booby Buffet. In order to stay awake with him we have watched everything Comcast has to offer On Demand. Did you know you can watch new 30 Rock episodes and old episodes of The A-Team? We watch these shows because we discovered that finding a routine is not good enough, we must find an escape. An escape from the colic crying and the 70 trips to the changing station. Ah yes, the escape that makes the crying and poop worth staying up for - ON DEMAND! So as we stay up late nights and try to trick our little man into a routine of sleeping at night, we at least hope he is dreaming of B.A. Baracus jumping over alligators to escape the Mexican Military.
