Way over the limit

If truck drivers can only drive for 14 hours until they're considered to be too tired to function properly, I am way over the limit. I need a break. Middle of the night swaddlings and feedings prohibit me from being "off-duty."

Tell me why it is that on the days when The Duckling only takes one nap she only sleeps for one hour.

I mean, really.

Some days if she naps at 10:30 AM she can go for two hours or so, but then there is no afternoon nap.

Today:
8:00 AM- wake-up
12:40 PM- put her down for a nap
1:40 PM- up and awake...tried to leave her in the crib until 2:20...no signs of going back to sleep

Why? Why, why, why?!?!?!?!

Thankfully the whole "put them to bed early so they sleep longer thing is working."

Her new bed-time is 7 PM and she now sleeps until 8 AM whereas when she used to have an 8 PM bed-time she was up with the freakin' birds at 6:30 AM.

What do the birdies say?
"Get up Duckling! Get up!!!!"

Nope, they sure don't say chirp, chirp, chirp in our yard.
