Monday SPAM for the exhausted

[pitdigger]

We had a 3 hour wake up and then back down for 2 and up for the day at 6:30. I'm physically exhausted from the weekend and mentally exhausted from this now. Can someone just come and take care of my child. Coffee can't fix this.

[WittyLittle]

goooood morning. I'm sorry pitdigger. I wish there were do-overs for bad nights. That would make life a whole lot easier!!!
I'm at work. On a Monday. This feels very strange indeed!!! I have my annual review on Wednesday which will be the last opportunity for them to fire my non-productive lazy bum... So I've got to pull some magic out said bum in the next few hours. Aaaaaand I'm sitting here on pb/fb/buzzfeed . Nice.

Nominate your october siggy themes yo!

Add me to the exhausted list. Basically solo parenting for the last 4 days, staying up later with a friend, feeling pretty crummy all weekend. I am just beat. And my H, who admittedly feels crummy starting last night, is still asleep. I am grumpy at him dude I did it all weekend and took care of her.

Passing you an xl cup or caffeine pitdigger

Good morning! The supermoon sounded like a good idea, and then I remembered that I'm a teacher and full moons make kids be crazy!

Found out that when my husband works from home he gets up to get me out the door at 630 (takes maybe 7-10 minutes), then that sucker goes back to bed til 830! I'm a bitter Betty for sure.

It was a busy, tiring weekend over here! We had our first swim 'lesson' with both girls. I think for the next session in the winter we will switch DD1 to a place that actually teaches swimming but is more expensive.

I spent some time yesterday checking out toys r us to see what might be good gifts for the girls for xmas. Now if I get an idea I write it down bc if I don't it's forgotten and when somebody asks I say whatever.

I'm tired, but not because of a rough night with DS, but because Monday morning comes way too friggin' early!

Little Man has started having separation anxiety, so that has made daycare drop off fun. I know he's fine, but the drama of it does not make for a fun time!

Also, I bumped into the friend who "dumped" me this morning at daycare drop off. I was pleasant, she was awkward. All that matters to me is not stooping to her level, so keeping my mouth shut was really hard

[kaydee0402]

WittyLittle, better get to work!

danitaec, does that logic applies to babies too? Because my kid has been a total drama king the past few days!

[dreemkin]

I called off sick from work. I'm trying to get over a nasty cold and didn't want to deal with the crazy. I never call off so I don't feel guilty. Now I get to have a chill day with the girls ::fingers crossed::

[dmorgendorffer]

pitdigger sorry for the rough night. I am right there with you.

We are going to give sleep training a shot again. Baby girl takes her naps in her crib like a champ but does not want to sleep in there over night. It was so nice to have MIL visiting for the weekend so that DH and I could have our date night last week but I was happy that she left so I didn't have to worry about DD disrupting her sleep since the guest room is right next to DD's room. We ended up letting her CIO for about 40 minutes after her first wake up last night and she slept so much better the rest of the night.

I so do not want to be at work today.

[pitdigger]

Happy Birthday mumomma13!!!

Now this kid won't nap. I'm done.

[tortor4]

Happy birthday mumomma13 !!!

[tortor4]

Sounds like lots of people have colds. I caught one too over the weekend. Yuck. And DH had forced overtime all weekend so +1 for the solo parenting. But we did sell tons of bows at our event on Saturday! The event itself was so much fun. Hope everyone feels better/gets some rest/has lots of coffee!

[cloe111479]

mumomma13, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[pitdigger]

And he's down! As am I.

[cloe111479]

At work today, but got the best surprise -- my best friend is engaged! I got a text from her now fiancee at like 8 am... saying I'm sorry i kept it secret... went to Facebook and BOOM! They got engaged in Disneyworld while on a trip with his family! I'm so happy for her. (yes, this will be marriage 2, but i know she is so much happier!)

I was totally distracted by it this morning!

[aggiebug]

Happy birthday mumomma13

[danitaec]

kaydee0402, I think it does! Everything's just crazier with a full moon.

Another rough night where DS was up for no reason between 3-5:30. I managed to get back to sleep, but slept through my alarm clock. Now I'm at work with a headache, having not taken a shower so I feel gross too.

I would have called in sick but it's the last day of the sprint and I had some things to do. Boo. So tired.

[seamonster]

Flying for BIL's wedding. Baby is currently passed out on me. He's doing great. Hopefully he sleeps well this trip, although I'm afraid the time difference between home and the wedding is going to kill us in terms of eating meals and seeing people.

Watching a Kurt Cobain documentary on the flight. Let the baby watch cartoons with no sound earlier to help keep him entertained.

[dreemkin]

mumomma13, HB! Enjoy your dinner!

[cougarette]

Am I remembering correctly that there's a growth spurt and sleep regression at 7 months? Because maybe that's it?

In addition to the long wake time, it took a long time for DS to go to bed. Usually I nurse him then can lay him down with white noise and he falls asleep in a few minutes. Lay night he stayed up whining. Both DH and I tried rocking, bouncing, shushing, singing, we brought him back in the livingroom to play for a little bit, etc etc. Then I tried nursing again and that did the trick. The same thing happened at 5:30.

What's so frustrating is that I try to keep offering, but he's not interested. But then an hour or so later he wants more and that puts him to sleep.

I try to remember that he's still really little, and that he won't be this little forever. I also know that I'll miss it. But dammit I am tired. Just tell me what the fuck you want, kid! Don't turn down nursing if that's what you want.

PS: I did much better with my fantasy fb teams this week. Won one for sure. The other I'm up 22 points and my opponent has one running back playing tonight. FX I will keep the lead! Winning makes it so much more fun!

[lilyelayne]

pitdigger I'll happily come keep your kiddo if you provide transportation I'll even bring coffee
WittyLittle GL with the annual review! hope it goes well.
aggiebug are you feeling any better? Probably hard to say with being so tired. Is S sick?
danitaec someone at church yesterday suggested DS was sleeping poorly because of the full moon!
mishka29 I started an amazon wishlist for DS as Christmas prep
kaydee0402 good for you for being the bigger person in the friend situation
dreemkin feel better!
michelle142 miss you! the admins say there's hopefully big changes to the mobile site coming by the end of the year, so maybe posting won't be such a PITA soon!
cougarette sending good vibes to get you through the day. Also love tit of commiseration.
seamonster GL with the rest of the trip, and with the time change. DS did okay with a 2 hour time difference, but that's nothing compared to your LO!

edit: tag fail

[lilyelayne]

mumomma13 happy birthday!

[lilyelayne]

I really, really need to get back to meal planning. Really really really.
Sister flew to Nova Scotia last night. Her FIL-to-be passed away. We knew it was coming, but hoped he would hold on long enough for their wedding in 2 weeks. So the wedding is postponed, and our trip to Canada is cancelled. I hate not being able to be with her & her fiance. Maybe DS and I can plan a trip to California soon.

[kaydee0402]

lilyelayne, you and me both. I feel so much more organized when I meal plan.

T&P to your sister and her fiances family.
