At the doctor for baby today. The first dr we had to see had our insurance information all screwed up so we had to wait forever. Then we get to the next office and the dr is running an hour behind. Aaaaahhhhh! This is so much fun with my very cranky 2.5 month old! Right now I just hate everyone. That is all.
I tried to have lunch while the baby was napping. Instead, I spilled hot soup all over my self and the floor. LO woke up from his nap while I was still mopping up the floor. Now I'm hungry, in pain and dealing with a cranky baby that napped for half as long as he should have. At least the dog is at daycare so I don't have to worry about her eating soup off the floor and then puking it up on the carpet
My tax money finally "came" in (direct deposit) but I can't touch it until Wednesday the 6th because it's "pending" screw you bank screw you. I wanted to get a new phone tomorrow.
Also, LO hasn't had a real long nap today. The most he's slept was MAYBE 15 mins... Hes not going to sleep tonight, he's going to be too tired to sleep it can just feel it

My LO has done the same exact thing today! He hasn't slept longer than 20 minutes since 11 this morning. I'm exhausted and dreading what tonight has in store.
My LO has been having cranky afternoons ever since his vaccines a week ago. I'm thinking it's probably related to the Rotavirus oral vaccine that he got, the paperwork says it can cause irritability up to SIX WEEKS after... I really hope it doesn't last that long because spending half my day dedicated to soothing a cranky baby is extremely draining!
My already miserable, colicky baby has an AWFUL, junky cough (apparently the remainder of a cold) and now a double ear infection...
Dammit, I need my household to be healthy! We've been stuck in virus purgatory for close to 2months now! We move this weekend and I cannot get a damn thing done!
My MIL is here and she will not stop doing dishes. Which sounds great but she doesn't know where anything goes, she half hand washes things then uses my nice hand towels to wipe the junk if. Stop, just stop. You are not helping fucking listen to me. Shit rant over.
I feel terrible complaining about this because my husband is seriously awesome, but he cannot do any feeds by himself that are at night because he will fall asleep. Doesn't matter if it's 8:30 pm or 3am, if it's dark in her nursery and he's rocking her to sleep, he can't stay awake. It's painful to me because the one upside (I thought) of my low milk supply is that hey, DH can help out with the feeds! Well, after he fell asleep with LO on his lap twice, neither he or myself feel comfortable with him being alone during the nighttime feedings. And at 8 weeks today, my LO still only goes 2.5 to 3 hours between feeds, so I am exhausted. I cannot wait until her little tummy is big enough for her to sleep in longer stretches. I feel like the sleep deprivation is breaking my brain. Today, I literally threw my keys down the garbage chute instead of the bag of my dog's poo that I was holding. I had to fish them out of the dumpster.
Anyway, one day. One day she will sleep in longer chunks.
@maureenmce it will get better really soon. 8 weeks was about when mine started sleeping 4-5 hours every night. Of course tonight we're back to 3. Sigh.

My husband has the same issue. He only half wakes up and so he's in this sleepwalking like state when he gets up with her anytime before 4-5am. We've gotten to the point where neither of us is comfortable with him helping at night and he leaves for work at 5am everyday so he can't help out then either, it really sucks but I'm hoping she starts sleeping through the night soon and we get a bit of sleep!

Oh man I feel you. I am still finding random items in odd places from my mom 'helping' when she visited last weekend... Ugh
@maureenmce and @mrscammack I'm glad I'm not the only one. SO absolutely cannot stay awake. I love him dearly, but dear God, keep your eyes open when you are feeding her! I wish he'd go to the doctor because unfortunately it's not just at night when it happens. It scares the shit out of me when I can't wake him. I constantly have to yell and throw things at him to keep him semi-awake when our toddler is awake. I swear, he doesn't understand why he can't nap with a 15 month old running around...
So glad I'm not the only one with the sleepy SO problem! My husband says he can't understand how I'm able to stay asleep in a dark nursery, rocking LO with no sleep - it's because I have no choice! I stay awake because I have to! I don't understand how he isn't able to, though I know he tries. He was absolutely horrified the two times I found him asleep with her in his arms. Anyway, at least he made me breakfast this morning while I was pumping since I got no sleep at all last night. Or today. Or for the last two months.
I have the opposite problem with SO kind of. If he gets up in the middle of the night, he can't go back to sleep... Then EVERYONE is more grumpy in the morning. I'd rather have SO a little bit more rested than him getting up, staying up, and being super grumpy the next day. He can't take naps during the day either to make up for any lost sleep, even on his days off.

Then she tried to do my laundry. Poopy diapers do not go in with normal clothes. Okay I will fold it. No that has my underwear in it.
