sleep problems

my husband and i have not been sleeping well the last several weeks.

since we got back from vacation, michelle has been WAKING UP EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, MULTIPLE TIMES, and coming to our room, asking if she could sleep in our bed.  9 times out of 10, we tell her no.  there are nights when she would wake up 5 times which usually ends with a very, very, very angry me and a terrified daughter.  i become a monster when i am woken up, yes, i'm bad and i'm not proud of it. 

we don't know what to do anymore.  paul is the good cop, i'm always the bad cop.  neither of us can sleep when she's in bed with us.  one of us would move to michelle's bed when this happens, or sleep in the living room, or not go to sleep the rest of the night.  it's hard on all of us.  we don't know what to do.  we try to establish a routine with her, but that did not last long.  what are we supposed to do?  i refuse to have her sleep with us every night.  that's just not going to happen. 

i'm sleepy =(
