I need sleep!

I need some sleep big time. Jacob has not been sleeping the past few nights and it is taking its toll on me. Friday we went to my Mom's in Ft. Worth and he didn't sleep very well due to being in a new place. Then Saturday he developed a cough and all night Saturday any time he coughed he would cry. He actually slept Sunday night. I was so excited to finally get a good nights sleep. Then it started all over again on Monday night. He was up every hour between 11 pm and 4 am. Yes he had cough meds in him that normally knock him out but for some reason he didn't want to sleep. Then Tuesday night he slept til 2:45 am and then was up every 5, 10 or 15 minutes till 4:15 am. Today he only took a 20 minute nap and would not go back to sleep at all. He normally naps for 2 - 3 hours a day. So that brings us to tonight. He fell asleep at 6:30 pm and is still asleep. He fell asleep before he could get his cough meds and if he wakes up coughing I will give it to him. Right now I'm playing it by ear. I can't wait to crawl into bed and sleep. I have a couple of more things to do and then it is to bed I go! I'm hoping to get a full nights sleep tonight. Well I hear my pillow calling me so off I go.

Dear Lord - Please be with us tonight as we try to get some sleep. Please watch over Jacob tonight and help him get the deep restful sleep that he needs to get better. Help me to function on whatever amount of sleep I get. Please also watch over Thomas as he is showing signs of a cold also. Help me to stay well so that I can take care of them and get them back to healthy growing boys. Thank you for the beautiful weather that you have given us. In Your Name - Amen.
