Friday Fragments

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster - Erik and Liam have been tag teaming my sleep deprivation, but we're working hard to get Liam to sleep better.  I've been reading up on the correlation between poor sleep habits and autism and know that this is going to be an ongoing issue for us... This article has been really helpful in figuring out what to do and how to make getting Liam to sleep better, but it's a process.... and a slow one at that... Until then, I guess you can pretty well call me zombie mommy...

Erik and I had a good time volunteering at Robyn's school yesterday - it's great to get out, be productive and get some adult conversation at the same time.  The only problem is that I see just how stressed the teachers and staff are at her school - the school board is talking major education cuts again - potentially eliminating the Media Specialist and reducing classroom supports... I think it's nuts - they've got consultants upon consultants, but they're trying to cut front line staff again... it's sad, because it's really affecting my child's education and the morale of the school, which used to be so positive.

I really need a hair cut... so does everyone else... well, except Erik, poor kid is losing his hair rapidly, but it will grow back...

And speaking of hair... I've hit that point in my postpartum time where I'm losing huge chunks of hair - I feel like a mangy dog the way I'm shedding all over everything.  I've even had to put away a couple of favorite sweaters because they looked like they were becoming hair shirts... this is the one part of having a baby that I could easily do without.

I'm also debating about whether to start coloring my hair again... it used to be strictly for fashion, but now it would also be to cover the grey... yeah, I know - way to young for grey, but there it is and it's getting more and more prominent ...

I apologize to everyone - I'm behind in my reviews... the sleep deprivation thing is killing me... but I'm hoping to catch up and do a ton of work this weekend, so watch for some great giveaways!

Okay, I'm officially heading back to bed... I'm really sleepy and it's the middle of the night, so if you didn't get enough fragments of my sleep deprived mind, you can check out the other fraggers at:
