Owwww, I feel actual tired pain for you. If I could store up my sleep and share I would share with you. Hang in there.
Life stinks when your exhausted and then you have to work with the ICU nurses that have ego's the size of texas and are always right. Keep on keepin on. :)
That sucks! I don't know how you do it! I am a completely miserable if I don't get 8 or 9 hours of sleep...and I never do:) but I get more that you!
I wish I lived by you so I could take your kids so you could get a nap!
You are now wonder women and super mom in my book!
I know you've heard this before but, I just have to say.... YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! In just a few short years you will be sooooo impressed with yourself and wonder how you did it! Right now all of us "Richardson family fans" just get to be in awe of your ever lasting patience and endurance! Keep it up!:0)
