Is the tired emoticon? Ugh, the last week, Liam has been up several times a night. The one change we have had is a second dose of his focalin as it funks out on him after 5 hours (yes even at the 10 mg xr dose). If he doesn't have it he's a mean. nasty bouncy mess. He seems to get to sleep but then is up at least twice in the night. Last night I was at my wits end and gave him a melatonin at 3 am; well it worked as he's still sleeping. The boy NEVER sleeps beyond 7am.....EVER!!!!

I know Nana is in town and school just ended blah blah blah; but my 7 year old has me up more than the 6 months old (who btw STILL will not sleep in anything other than my bed, and knows just when to interrupt dh and I....dh is rather fruatrated to say the least....actually I'm thrilled hee hee)

Dee,


Is the second dosage an XR or short-acting?

The pdoc suggested the xr, but I'm beginning to think the shorter dose may make more sense. We held off on the 2nd dose today ( he was up so late this am anyway) I'm curious to see if he'll stay down all night.

As for thr baba's timing; am I the only one who could care less about sex these days?

I didn't want it either for quite awhile after I had the boys. Poor tony lololol. Its exhausting having a baby, and geez you got the two boys to boot!

No wonder your not in the mood!

Oh Dee darlin', I care. I care very much about how I can avoid it! But since I don't have a "Roan Of My Own" (just call me Longfellow) I'll have to keep coming up with more creative ways to postpone the inevitable. Just think, Father's Day is right around the corner. UGH!

Sorry about the sleeping problems. I wish I had some sage wisdom to bestow upon you, but I don't- so I'm not about to feed you a line of worthless rubbish!
