Fun While it Lasted OR Rantings of a Crazy Woman
So we had a good 2 week run of Luke sleeping thru the night. That ended Sunday night. But it was fun while it lasted. Luke and I both have nasty colds (getting better now) of course they came on right before the party. I am hoping that Luke will go back to sleeping once his cold is better, but right now I am wondering if it wouldn't have been better if he had never done it at all!
Start with the good and move to the rantings…. Ryan's party was a really fun time, I am glad so many of you could make it. Luke finally got to meet his Great Grandma Vi and Great Grandpa Don, they just got back from Florida and I could be wrong, but I think Grandma Vi liked Luke and he had quite a few smiles for her too! Luke was really well behaved with all the people and no afternoon nap.
So this week stinks! Luke hasn't been sleeping, Monday I "worked" on about 3.5 hours of sleep, today I think I am just slightly more than that! Luke was making all kinds of noise at 3:30 this morning and didn't stop when I gave him back his pacifier, course I couldn't sleep thru it, so around 4:30 I broke my cardinal rule and brought him to bed with me. Mostly because there is too much crap on the couch for me to move to lay there! So we slept on and off until about 5:30 and we were up.
Below are my rantings, feel free to stop reading here.
-
I'm exhausted and Crabby
-
So is Luke
-
I am wearing my least puked on pants that I pulled from the laundry
-
I have been up basically since 3:30 and Ryan finally got up at 6:30 and asked why I was so late – needless to say he got his head bit off
-
I had a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg for Breakfast and wonder why I have a stomach ache
-
I have a nasty sore on my nose from blowing it too much
-
I have bags under my eyes
-
I am about 2 weeks behind on my stuff here at work
-
I have a bunch of jewelry stuff to do
-
I have at least 4 loads of laundry to do (see dirty pants comment)
-
With my cold my milk supply has taken a total nose dive = hungry baby!
-
Luke puked down to his toes and he was laying on his stomach so I have to change his crib sheet again (2nd time this week)
-
Did I mention that I am exhausted and CRABBY?
-
I am so tired of fast food I don't even want to see a french fry (this is quite unusual for me!)
-
And I think the best news is that my boss gets these updates so I will probably get in trouble for blogging at work!
Okay – I am sorry for complaining, but I am failing at my life today and I need a nap and a pacifier!
oh oh baby-we just went to Dylan’s Confirmation–so it does get better–by the time he’s a teenager you’ll have to peel the mattress off his back–so he’ll catch up on his sleep–but you’ll be waiting to hear him pull up in the car–and be NOT sleeping again–isn’t that encouraging–welcome to motherhood–most of us do make it out alive!!
Motherhood a survival of the fittest or those who have friends who help us through it! Face it Kath….you’re in this for the duration. The good news is that other than a cold Luke is healthy and a beautiful baby. This too shall pass and better days are ahead.Do what you can and open a can of soup! You can complain to us anyday. That is why we love our "Porch Crew" Moms. We have all been there. God bless! Terry
I have no advise, since I have no children. But as for the nap and a pacifier….I can bring Captain any time…just say the word!
