Sleep Deprivation Experiment?

Some days I feel as though in becoming a mom I had signed up for a sleep deprivation experiment. Have you seen the movie IQ? There is a scene where the scientist fiance is doing time deprivation experiments on a man, and he is screaming in a room with a window, while Albert Einstein visits the lab. Some days I feel as though with the little amount of sleep I've gotten since I've become a mother, I must appear as though I were participating in a similar experiment. Elise has gotten a lot better lately about sleeping at night, and even being able to go back to sleep with just a pacifier and some hand holding. I'm still looking forward to the day when she will be able to sleep all night through all by herself. Until then, I love my girl, and my sweet husband who makes sure I get a nap when I really need it!
On top of the ongoing sleep deprivation, we're all sick this week, with sore throats and runny noses. Elise fell asleep in her high chair during dinner, which has never happened before, and she was so cute! Hopefully we're on the upswing, and can all be healthy again soon. In the mean time, Logan found a new song he loves with the line "Life gave me lemonade", which reminds me of the saying "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I don't know if this artist is trying to say life is great because he got lemonade instead of lemons, but that's what I think every time I hear Logan playing the song. It kind of makes me count my blessings, and realize that we're very blessed!!!
