- Everything is either too hot or too cold.
- He yells loud enough to cause avalanches. 25 miles away.
- He hits. Hard. And oddly enough, not always people. Sometimes he'll hit the couch or the entertainment center, or the fridge. Which I imagine hurts.
- He bites. Me... but not Ken. No never Ken.
- He throws things. Mostly at Joey. I'm guessing because me and Ken move out of the way.
- He cries about ev. er. ee. thing.
- Whines and whines and whines and whines and whines.
- Complains his clothes don't fit him.
- He won't eat anything.
- He shakes and holds his breath until he's reddish purple and then face plants onto the floor.
When I Don't Sleep
- I can no longer stay positive and upbeat.
- I can't even think happy thoughts.
- I'm mostly swearing in my head.
- I have zero ideas for things to do to teach the kids or even occupy them.
- My bones hurt.
- I grind my teeth.
- I talk higher.
- What's the word for something 10 times shorter than "short?" THAT'S the length of my temper.
- I want to yell and hit and bite. Instead I get really eerily quiet and raise my eyebrows. I keep my throat real tight and just let that anger boil in there.
- I become a real life Crabby Patty.
- He's exactly the same.

OK so I was totally waiting for Joey's list of crazy things when he's tired and I laughed when I saw that he's the same no matter what! You sound a lot like me, if I don't get enough sleep I am NOT a good mom to the kids. Even Jared (the man) will say to me, "babe I think you need to go take a nap." Um ya think!!!
If I am tired, I cannot stop crying. Which is why I became an emotional wreck when I had Greta.
@ Chris Love Julia- I forgot to put that on there! I can hold it in until like 11:00 at night and then I lose it.
