Let me get this started.
E and this damn rash is killing me. I had to walk away for a couple minutes yesterday. I usually keep my cool. I haven't slept in like 8 months and have been screamed at for 12 hours straight. BUT I still feel like a shit mom because of it. Oh and last night she refused H and would only sleep if I was itching her back. I want a fitbit just to see how little I actually sleep. When she is weaned in a year I am going on a mom only trip. I love them, but I need a break. So I am the mom who let her sick baby cry before I had a mental screaming fit at her.

Also Jessie James Decker is my celebrity crush mom. I want to be like her as a wife and mom. Creepy I know. At least once I have asked what she would do.
bantyrooster you are not a shit Mom for having to walk away. Sick kid or not. I know what it's like to get little to no sleep (for an extended amount of time) and some days it's all you can do to not have a mental breakdown. Hugs girl. I hope her rash starts clearing up and you start getting a little more sleep.

bantyrooster, is there any way you can get a night away now? Do you have enough of a stash? You really really need to get some sleep. She cries with you, she is going to cry without you. Someone can take on one night for you so that you can have one night in a hotel somewhere, you and your H. Seriously, you really should try and make that happen. No guilt.

I agree! It's amazing how one night of sleep will recharge you. Big hugs to you!
I also agree with your celebrity mom crush LOL I totally follow her on Instagram- she cracks me up!
bantyrooster you are in no way a shit mom. Walking away makes you a good mom. I remember when Della was having her pooping issues before we knew she needed surgery I had to walk away several times. Hang in there and lots of hugs!
bantyrooster walking away is probably the best thing you can do as mom! we all need to step away at times and take a breath. hopefully things get better for you soon!
One of my cats ended up in M's room last night. Not sure if it was when he woke up during the night, or if she was in there all night, but she ended up waking him up this morning at 6 because she was meowing to get up. Well, 6 is when I go in there to wake him up anyways, but this morning because she woke him up, he was so happy and chipper and didn't fight getting ready at all! It was great!
The FC: I'm thinking of sneaking her in there every weekday so he will wake up happy every morning.
And thanks everyone. I know deep down I am not a shit mom but I just wish I could do it all and not hate some parts. She nurses at night so I would have to get up and pump anyways. Her legs seem better today and that is where it started so hopefully its slowly going away. She is usually such a happy baby during the day I think people IRL think I am nuts. I also resent my mom. She knows how bad its been and hasn't once offered to come watch them so I can have a break, but her and her new bf can go out all weekend. Oh well I need to Jessie up and make it happy again.

My cat got in DS's room one night and decided to sleep in his closet. His closet door is one that slides on a track. Sometime in the middle of the night, his closet door began to rattle. The cat was trying to get out. Of course, he freaks out. I would have, too. He was 4-5 at the time. I heard him crying and went to check on him. He seriously thought there was a monster in his closet. To this day, he is religious about making sure no cats get in his room before he goes to bed.
I am forever behind with respect to Henry's birthday. I have barely anything for tomorrow, and still haven't told people what time to come over next weekend for his little family party.
I blame it on Greta being sick for 5 days (including last weekend when I was planning to do a bunch of stuff).

Big hugs irish1213. We are here if you need anything!
bantyrooster, that sucks about your mom. I hope the rash goes away and you get some sleep soon. Hugs!
My FC: I took today off and am cleaning and prepping for my parents to come. When I grabbed some water out of the frig I saw my ciders just sitting there and I wanted one so bad! I'd have one if my H wasn't coming home soon. It would be nice to have a drink and take a quick nap!!

irish1213, I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. We are here for you whenever you need an ear. bantyrooster, being a good mom is knowing you sometimes need a moment to collect yourself. the nursing days are hard anyway, then adding a rash to that just sucks for everyone. Big hugs to you. jfresh, how's Oliver doing these days? Has the SLP helped?
bantyrooster you did the right thing. We all need to walk away sometimes. When I do it I sometimes will say to T, I'm walking away because in getting frustrated (or whatever). You gotta do it.
irish1213 that is crazy scenario to be in. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and the kids.
So there was one large slice of Ts birthday cake left. H and I put T down for a nap and split it. Sorry T no cake for you!
I have given Abby soda a little here and there when I have one (not often). But it was a bribe one day for using the potty every time I asked. She doesn't like candy or most cookies (we didn't have Oreos that day). I gave her a whole can as per our deal but then she wanted to share some with me, sweet girl. I don't mind an occasional side eye.

irish1213, I love you girl. You've been the more than most with the health issues with your little ones and handled it with such grace. You can totally come here to talk you know, it goes no further than here. We love you and have your back. Are you ok with what is happening? Was it you idea/mutual?
