Ugh I cannot deal with crying in the car. I am already anxious about our 1.5 hour drive to the beach this coming Saturday. Hope pickup is better katelou!
I dropped DD1 off at her old daycare for the morning because I needed to take the car in for inspection. Now I'm waiting for them to do the Inspection and have a sleeping baby on me. DD1 would be going stir crazy here since they said it would be 2-2.5 hours before it would be done. So glad that her old daycare agreed to take her for a few hours!
Both of my kids have colds and slept terribly last night. My car is packed full of recycling I need to drop off, but it's cool and looks like it might rain, so I foresee a day of staying home in our jammies and napping. Fx the toddler takes a good nap today.

S is sleeping on me right now. Later today I have the follow up consult with the chiropractor to talk about a treatment plan.
I have been sleeping in way too late with S and basically oversleeping. So, I have set an alarm to get up earlier. It's going to really suck when I have to go back to work and get up at 4am.
DH just doesn't get it. W isn't going to magically let me sleep in. So instead of walking me up and at least getting a bottle ready... I got to wake up right after DH left to whining dogs, a very hungry crying baby, and a wet PnP.
Took forever to get everyones needs met. I got a cup of coffee but still need food.

Today is DS1's daycare day and I was really hoping to do something for myself while L naps. Except he's been awake since I dropped off DS1. Three hours ago. Eating, pooping, spitting up, repeat. He won't even lay on his playmat so I can fold laundry. The only thing I've done for myself is take a shit. Pardon my French, I'm so frustrated.

Attempting to take both kids to the park. Hopefully DS sleeps the whole time and DD wants to do something other than swing so she runs off some energy.

I had to explain this to MH too. On days I work and get up first I take care of the animals and prep bottles for the girls and set out DS's school clothes. On days I'm off he takes care of the animals so when the girls wake up it's not total chaos.

Going down the mountain to go grocery shopping. Fx baby doesn't cry the entire way down! I don't really need to go to this grocery store, but I'm going stir crazy and want coffee from a specific place.

E is incredibly clingy yesterday & today. He's either on my boob or in my arms all day. Even sleeping, once I set him down he wakes up. According to the Wonder Weeks app he's going through a leap & this is par for the course the next couple days, and I don't at all mind the baby snuggles but I'm feeling pretty useless. I wore him yesterday so I could at least clean up the kitchen but it's so incredibly hot I couldn't wear him long without giving both of us heat stroke.

I'm so done with this kid. He's been awake going on 8 hours. I want to tear my hair out. I have to pick up DS1 in an hour and haven't showered in days. Judge away but I think I'm going to let L scream for fifteen minutes in his crib so I can take care of myself.

Girl, do what you need to do. I let the baby scream her face off while I showered today. Oh well, she's over it and I feel a million times better.

Thanks. They won't remember right? I did manage to get a shower, and I do feel better. Wine o'clock can't come fast enough today!

+1 take care of yourself, the baby will be fine. My guy has a tendency to wake up when I'm about 2 minutes from getting DD down for a nap, so he gets to scream until I can get to him. There have been other times too...he screams while I'm holding him sometimes anyway.
I wanted to go on a walk with H and Sam before it got too hot and H left for work, but he took a nap on the couch... even though he slept until 9am. I called him out on it and he started bitching about how he only gets 5 hours of sleep most nights and then has to go to work all day, and then he only gets to take a half hour nap when he gets home, blah blah blah. Seriously, the guy is complaining about getting to take a nap in our bed, on his own without having to either have a baby on him or worry about getting woken up by a screaming baby at any moment. You're getting no sympathy from me dude.

I got E in the wrap so I could fold some laundry, and within seconds of him closing his eyes he shat himself. I just want to accomplish any task in my house. ANYTHING.

No judgment. The crib is a safe place for him and he will be fine for the short time you need to take care of yourself. Hope the rest of the day is easier!SaveSave

I seriously doubt anyone would judge this. Shower away
I am probably the minority here but I am looking forward to going back to work. It's been 7 weeks and I think the routine will be good for me. I am not wired to be a SAHM - hats off to those that are. It also helps that I like my job.

I'm looking forward to doing my work and being back with my coworkers and friends, but the logistics of going back to work scare me. How will everything get done? How?!

I love being back to work, but I miss both me and H being home. He was a lot less stressed and helped out way more. He acts like because I "only" work three days a week (12 hours each) that on my "days off" with the girls that I should be able to do all the housework.

I wish I was going back to work. I was a long term sub last year and I loved being out of the house. I actually hated teaching but I loved the routine of going to work and DD loved daycare. We both go stir crazy at home.
