God, help me!

Peter's sleep has always been hard on all of us.  He is our early riser (in the 5 o clock hour).  NO ONE else in our house is a morning person, at all.  We've tried everything we can think of.  Nothing works.  Last week we were having friends over so we skipped naps.  (Be assured, we've tried this before.)  The next morning, he slept til 6:30.  Then got in bed with us (noisy breathing and all) and stayed til 7am.  So we decided.  We'd try to give up naps.  (Peter NEEDS his naps.  But the rest of the house also wants to sleep to a reasonable hour!  Generally, I know a lot of kids have given up theirs by now and I count myself blessed that he hasn't.)  So we've been going at it for 5 days.  Then, we napped yesterday.  Everyone was at their whits end and exhausted.  Last night, it was wake up off and on from 3:40 on.  I ended up sleeping with him til 5:45am, when he was raring to go!  (I do NOT care for this... I need my time next to my husband to rejuvenate )  So today (day 7), with the addition of a field trip, and no naps, I am not a happy camper.  I feel like this is going to kill me.  I feel like we are back in the throws of a newborn for the first time with feelings of "what on earth am I going to do with this child?!"  I have no idea where this will land.  But its making me more Cr@Zy than normal in the meantime.  I can't handle the lack of break (yes, we've done short times in rooms).  God, help us all.  We are desperate and crazy... And we like our sleep!!!  And this mom likes nap time!!!
