Meltdowns and Randoms

[TheEleventhHour]

We didn't have a Meltdown Monday thread yesterday. So post them here. Or just random stuff. Post anything you want. I am bored and close to 1,000 posts lol.

DS actually hasn't had any over the top meltdowns in the last week. Miracle.

He is in his crib yelling "MAMA" over and over as loud as he can. So that is pretty much ruining my plans to study since I cannot concentrate. He isn't crying, just goofing around, so I am definitely leaving him in there until 2. Hopefully he falls asleep by then! He was super snuggly today which I love but also didn't get much done before lunch time!

Annnndddd still waiting to hear back from our accountant. I want to know what our refund is going to be!!!

DD has become very strong willed and there have been many meltdowns lately, especially around going to sleep. Every night for the last 3 weeks she has screamed her head off at the door to her room insisting she doesn't want to go to bed. It's exhausting and I don't know how to fix it and get her to go to sleep, on her own, in her room.

DD is currently asleep ON me and I'm trying to figure out if I can get up or if I even want to.

I have no advice but want to offer hugs!!!

I am really dreading the move to a toddler bed because I think DS will fight sleep more when he has free reign of the whole room.

Thanks, I'll take the hug!

She was doing fine with the toddler bed until we left on vacation, now she wants nothing to do with it, and won't fall asleep without me next to her.  I really hope it's just a phase.  Not sure I could handle full on CIO or the super nanny method to keep her in her bed.

I think she will go back to her normal routine soon! After that long on vacation sleeping with you it might just take a little longer to recalibrate. I don't think I could do full on CIO/Super Nanny tactics either! FX it passes soon.

I really hope so.  I really want my downtime before bed back!!

Meltdown this week belongs to me. Actually it's been several meltdowns. Jack has been sick, I have been pregnant and having a hard time sleeping. Add to that I catch Jack's head cold and now get nearly zero sleep because I cannot breath and am tending to a sick baby. Add to that Jack switching to a big boy bed and having a tough time with naps and needing us to sit with him for 30-40 minutes to fall asleep. Then I had a 3 hour glucose test scheduled for my sickest and most sleep deprived day so far.
It's been a bad, bad few days. I am tired and sick with what must be some sort of sinus infection at this point. Did I mention tired?
And because of Jack's cold and lack of sleep he has been beyond grumpy. And so am I.
Just done with this week already. Want to feel better and have this boy get used to this bed already.

michieu129 HUGS!!!

[chilibeansm0m]

Hugs ladies!!!!!

I sorry about no meltdown thread! Def feel free to start one if ever I am late! I was mia yesterday since my ceo was in.

R just flat out refuses to clean up. This is def the biggest struggle now. I try and remind myself of the advice you ladies gave me but sometimes it's hard and i just want to lock it all up or throw it all out because I can't deal with it!

I feel a meltdown coming because my assistant/replacement says she thinks she is getting sick and may be out the rest of the week. friday is my last day regardless. There's still some stuff I need to finish up with her and now I'm not sure that will happen.

[TheEleventhHour]

chilibeansm0m I can't believe you are almost ready for maternity leave! So exciting. I hope your assistant/replacement is able to get all her training in before you go!

[TheEleventhHour]

Um, also DH is snoring and it sounds like a freaking freight train. He is in our bedroom, with the door closed, with a sound a machine going. I am 15 feet down the hallway in the dining room and I can still hear him despite the distance/closed door/white noise. I was going to go to bed but I know I won't be able to fall asleep so I suppose I will try to be productive and get a little more studying in ...

Ugh, I'm sorry lady. Hang in there! Sleep for your mom, Jack!

I'm sick of stupid people at work! I'm also sick of hearing my coworker say she's overwhelmed and not accepting my offer of help.

That is just annoying. If she won't accept help she needs to stop complaining!!!

I am home sick with a stomach virus. The kids are not listening and very whiny.

[TheEleventhHour]

@clarypax Hugs! I hope you feel better soon. A few people have mentioned stomach bugs on my other home board so it seems to be something going around. Hopefully it passes quickly and no one else in the house gets it!

chilibeansm0m, - I cannot believe your ML is coming up that soon! That's crazy! I swear, all of your J13 mamas just announced your pregnancies like 2 weeks ago (even though some of your new LOs are already here haha).

michieu129, - Sorry! Hope that you feel better soon. Hang in there.

privacy, - Isn't it funny how they just change with age? My 8 year old now often just won't talk to me when he's upset, that's his new method of tantruming. Good times. Just when you get them figured out they do something else.

Molly's meltdowns have been way more random lately. Silly things like no more strawberries til after dinner.

I've worked all late nights and I'm beat. I still have to go in until 2 tonight and I'm dreading it.

DS was sick with the flu and then I got it, now I'm finally starting to feel better and should be cleaning up (this place is an absolute mess) but think I'll put it off one more day and catch up on my DVR.
