Sleep

My children have suddenly switched their schedules and this bleery-eyed person hacking away at the keyboard is the result. For some reason, they insist on sleeping all day (as in I get them up and they go off and hide and go back to sleep, and then get up for a while and do the same thing again in the afternoon). So, when they go to bed, they sleep for a few hours and then are up until 3 -4 in the morning. What a weird, odd schedule and I am completely baffled as to how to keep them awake during the day and how to get them to sleep all night.

And a sidenote, that god-awful gel stuff they put in diapers these days. That must be made of some kind of super-sticky substance but it does NOT come off of baby mattresses and baby skin!!!! Thank God we are going back to cloth diapers!!
