Please just let them sleep!

Since a couple of days before Halloween, our sleep has been almost non-existent. We have had a series of colds, ear infections and Cam needing to go to the bathroom disrupting our sleep. The one night that both kids slept, our fire alarm in our bedroom started beeping at 2:00 AM. Of course it is so high up we have to get a ladder out to fix it. Now, Kasey has a nasty case of croup that seems to be morphing into a full chest cold. He has been waking up several times a night (last night was 9 times before a 4-6 o'clock cuddle during which I got no sleep). In short, I need some sleep! Okay enough of the complaining, but sometimes you just need to vent!
