I'm sure all parents with two children within three years of age, or longer, have felt this before but I'm exhausted and spending more and more time staring blankly at the walls while thinking of nothing. The surprising thing, I'm not stoned and haven't been for quite some time, I would be completely happy with staring at the wall for the foreseeable future.
Initially, I figured that this is due to lack of sleep and in the cases of some of my at-home-dad friends it might be but I'm not so sure this solution applies to me. Both boys are sleeping well. Dylan sleeps from 9ish until 6ish with usually one waking cry or accident. Zachary only requires my attention twice a night for diaper changes. So at worst I'm waking up three times per night for 5-10 minutes at a time. This doesn't seem to constitute enough evidence to conclude sleep deprivation as the primary cause.
I'll try thinking about this during my wall staring episodes in a hopes that the answer will come to me.....I would research it but I lack the time and the motivation to do so.

I'm catching up on your blog because I'm distressingly bored at work today. You know, it still could be sleep deprivation as those three 5-10 minute breaks in your sleep during the night seriously disturb the amount of deep sleep your actually getting. Not that there's anythihng you can do about this. I'm just saying, don't rule out sleep deprivation. It could also be the lack of adult conversation during the week. Or you could just be brain dead. So many possible causes... :)
