Seriously..please talk me off the ledge right now !!
I have had no sleep in over 1 week ! We moved into our house on sunday and it has been so hard unpacking and cleaning by myself ! I work the night shift and haven't been able to take a nap in days ! The other day I got home at 3 am, went to bed at 4 am then got up at 7:30 am to get the kids off to school . At 12 pm I got Eva to take a nap ,and so I went to go lay down ..not even 15 minutes later I get a call from the school Lea had an accident in her pants and I had to bring her clothes, so I woke Eva up and went down there . When we got home she wouldn't go back to sleep, so on 2 1/2 hrs of sleep I went back to work at 9pm ! At 12 am at work I fell on the stairs and hurt my ankle and my knee pretty bad ! I also just got AF yesterday ! Now today I got 3 hrs of sleep and Eva is refusing to take a nap  I have to get the kids from school in 2 hrs ,so this means no nap again and I have to go to work at 9pm ,but before I go, I get to do 2 hrs of homework with Lea( while I chase Eva everywhere in between), cook dinner, shower and bathe 2 kids , get ready for work and be there until 2 am ,and do the same thing tomorrow  I am sooooooooooooooooo tired !
Sorry so long ,but I am beyond exhausted and DH won't be home until late! Thanks for listening

Can you get a babysitter tomorrow afternoon and maybe sleep from when the girls get home from school until you go to work? It wouldn't be a ton, but at least it would be like a solid 6hrs of sleep?

Is there anyway you can take a day off to just rest, or have DH come home earlier and help with homework, so you can rest. I mean, I know no sleep, but you are nuts and NEED some sleep soon. Its not even safe to drive with that little sleep. I hope you find a bed soon, to pass out on.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Can you call in sick to just have a day to rest?

That is really tough. 
Is there a way to cook meal one day you aren't working and freeze them? This way you don't have to spend time during the week to make everything each night. Could cut down a couple of hours.
Do you have anyone that can help you or someone at school that can bring your girls home?

I feel your pain. Im home this week with DS who is 2 weeks old today. we live in pa, my mom and family are in brooklyn. My mom was supposed to stay 2 nites with me this week but she takes care of my sick grandmother and thats a whole ordeal in itself. Then she was saying next week, but my parents are refinancing their house so its appraisers and appt's next week. who knows..
my life isnt nearly as hectic as yours, but i know what it feels like to have no one around to help you do even the little things. Im at my wits end some mornings b/c DS is so fussy during the day and im chained to my living room just trying to comfort him and get him to nap.

Re: Seriously..please talk me off the ledge right now !!
I can't even imagine.
Don't worry about unpacking and cleaning.. that can all wait, your sanity cannot!! Sleep when you can, and do quick and easy meals until you can catch up on sleep. Sleep deprivation is the worst thing in the world... Hang in there!!!!!
