I keep oversleeping. I have 3 different alarm times in my phone, but it's so easy to hit snooze.
I think part of the problem is that DS is getting up around 4:30-5. I put him back down after feeding him, but then I'm falling asleep again around 6 or so. I think my alarms are at a bad time in the sleep cycle. But I'm not ready to be up for the day that early either! Sigh.

Morning. I am freakin exhausted from staying up too late reading. I took DS to the library for the first time yesterday so I can get some new books. He was hilariously giggling and squealing in the middle of concentrated silence. I tried hard not to laugh haha. But who would get mad about a a baby giggle?
mumomma13, My vaca starts this Sunday. Calories beware.

cougarette, That 4:30-5am wakeup is awful when you have to get up shortly after that. One night DS randomly woke up at 1 and not again until 6 and skipped his normal 4am feeding and I was so much more refreshed. I don't think that time gives your body enough time to get into deep sleep again.
It's a rainy cruddy day here. DD went to my IL's for the day and DS and I are going to play and nap. He finally took a nap on his side! So I hope to get him doing it more as I wait for his orthotist appointment to be scheduled. I have to figure out dinner today and I have no ideas.
Hi! cougarette we have that 4:30/5 feeding too - I am not looking forward to that when work starts! If you get up and just start your day it's so early, but if you go back to sleep sometimes I feel worse. This morning I ignored dd when she got up at 4:30 (moty) and she went back to sleep until 5:45... But then she was up for the day. If I had fed her and put her back down I would've gotten until at least 7!
Also moty - was playing with dd on the floor when she fell forward and smacked her mouth on the hardwood. She was bleeding and screaming. Oopsies. Poor babe.
Hi! So yesterday while on vacation, we get a call from the rental company that the renters before us called to say they got bed bug bites. They sent an exterminator over. The guy checked our room,said all clear, and watched me walk in with Abby.
Then, they call again to say bed bugs were found in two rooms. One of them was ours!!!!!!
Everything of ours had to be thrown in the dryer for an hour. I ran to the store to get diapers and they only had Luvs in size 3. Ugh and so overpriced!!
We were put in a hotel for the night 30 min away. Abby cried forever in the mini crib. She wouldn't sleep with me either.
I had a huge meltdown when I found out DH just threw the bags in the dryer. There were other things in there besides clothes. Ugh. What a scene!
We are not up to much today. I need to work out, clean bc my sister and her fam are coming to visit this weekend, and go get my id for work done since I was on mat leave when they did them at school.
Trying to enjoy my last week home but I really don't think I'm cut out to be a sahm. I am looking forward to going back to work next week and it makes me feel guilty.
Thank you all. We are still waiting for a new house which isn't going to be easy for the rental company to find a comparable or better house that isn't already rented for the week.

You're not alone and shouldn't feel guilty!! I just had my first day of paid childcare yesterday, and know what? It was amazing! I went to lunch. I got my car washed. I got all my work done, which means no struggling to get it done while DS whines with boredom. No working 10pm-1:00am catching up.
And now my time with DS will be happy, quality time.

Omg what a pain! I hope they resolve this for you fast.

I have an alarm clock that gets progressively louder. I also put it on the far side of the bedroom so I have no choice but to get up if I want the noise to stop. It helps get me going!
jensoprano82 thank you! I love my daughter but i miss working. I will definitely enjoy my time at dd at home when I am working. I feel like I am counting down the minutes until the day is over sometimes.

... Everything you said is pretty much my worst nightmare. Hang in there!

UGH mands1125 I had bed bugs during the huge outbreak of them in nyc a few years ago and I seriously have PTSD from the experience. You do not want to bring those suckers home with you. I'd make sure everything got HOT in the dryer and if you have suitcases or things that don't fit in a dryer I'd bag them and leave them in the sun - with these super hot days I think it would get hot enough.
We always rub DS's belly cause its so big and cute. He has become so interested now when we rub his tummy, he puffs his belly out so he can see it. So cute.

Yesterday was pretty much a complete waste of day for me work-wise, total zombie mode after the rough night. Today I need to actually get back into it and I don't have much choice with 6.5 hours of meetings. Luckily we only had 1 wake up last night but add me to the club of moms not thrilled to be up for the day at 5:30.
Last week they announced that our parent company is selling the company I work for so I'm also trying to find some time to work on my resume because who knows what that will mean. I'm not going to get stressed about it yet because there was not much info but it is definitely in the back of my mind.
mumomma13 I almost stopped for McDonald's breakfast on Sunday to help cure my sour wine tummy from the wedding the night before. But, I settled for a breakfast burrito. My last cheat day before my diet officially started.
toadandbuggie babies giggling in the library are definitely more acceptable than screaming babies.
emilyz320 oh no, hope she is okay! Don't feel guilty. I am not cut out for SAH mommy business. At least I have the excuse that the house cannot stay in tip top shape because I am working.
mands1125 bed bugs?!?!? Yuck..... I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that and how it was just the beginning of things not going the right way.
@holachica good luck today!
dmorgendorffer that's such a bummer about your company. You never know what is going to happen and it could mean bigger opportunities for you.
Nothing really going on with me. I am joining the not getting any sleep club last night and DS was not even the problem. It was so damn hot in the middle of the night. Once it finally cooled off, the dog felt that he needed to lick himself the entire night. DH finally put him outside when he was about to cough up a hair ball.
mands1125 that's an awful way to start vacation. I agree that's it becoming more of a trip. Hope you are able to wipe them out of your belongings and get upgraded to a nicer place!

I'll catch up soon, but right now I am sitting in the opening meetings for the new school year. These are the worst. It is the same every year.
Brady must have known that things were changing because he wasn't a good sleeper last night. He wanted to snuggle at midnight and 4:30. Even though I am exhausted, it was nice to snuggle with him. He was smiling and happy when I dropped him off at the sitter, so that made the morning easier.
We are just headed today to do some six month pictures. Then to costco to pick out a 1st bday cake for my nephew. My sister owns a cookie company, but between her other full time and part time jobs, she has decided to take a break from it. She loves costco cake so she's sending me in as a member to pick one.
cougarette I used to have a similar problem on Sundays because I go to the early mass. I'd get up at 430, feed DS, eat breakfast, get mostly ready, then lay down and take a nap. It worked better to take a short nap than try to fall back into deep sleep. mands1125 ewww and ugh! What a terrible start to vacation! @holachica enjoy meeting your students! emilyz320 please don't feel guilty for doing what is best for you & your family!

You took the words out of my mouth. I also sometimes feel like I'm counting down the minutes some days and I feel guilty about that. I don't want to end up resenting my daughter because I'm home all the time and can't be constructive with my day. I'm also a teacher, so I start back in a week and a half. I really wish I could do part time, but my school system is really eliminating that for classroom teachers now, which blows.
