island, I think you are facing the perfect storm, unfortunately. Young children are incredibly difficult for some people (my child didn't sleep on top of the normal difficult baby stuff), but that does get much better.

And I haven't really known anyone who found the intellectual stimulation they crave at work, unless they are very lucky. Even in many educated professions, you don't always find that many people who are intellectually curious enough to live anything more than a shalow life of glibness. Just keep that in mind, since it might not really be work that you are craving.

And it does get better. smile
