I'm sooo ready to go to work tomorrow.

I could never be a SAHM. I have M and T off work every week.  Yesterday I didn't even leave the house until 7pm, just cleaned, nested (too much!) did some work, laundry, washed dishes, etc.  Last night DD was sooo cranky and just generally in a horrible mood.  She finally fell asleep at 1am.  Usually she STTN in her own room.  Not last night!  She woke up at 4 am and 7 am screaming bloody murder.  Finally at 7 I brought her into our room and laid her down, thinking that might calm her down. Didn't work.

I had plans with a friend to go to a "mommy movie" at 1pm.  DD has been to several of these movies and has always reacted really well to them.  

I washed my hair and was drying it around noon and DD started screaming again!  I cancelled my movie plans. Then DD was all of a sudden in a great mood, so I put her in her carseat, she fell asleep, and I decided to just go to the movie anyway.  I get there 15 minutes late, find my friend, order my lunch, and DD is sleeping peacefully the entire time.  I watch Hugh Jackman run around naked for about 10 minutes (watched Wolverine movie), my food shows up, I eat 3 tater tots, and DD wakes up and is very upset again.  I start to BF her, but nope she does NOT want that.  So I stand up and walk outside with her, and she's fine.  Walk back in the theater, she screams.  Walk back out, she's fine again.  UGH. After 45 minutes of this, I grab a box and wrap up my sandwich, pack up my stroller, and we leave.  Get in the car and she falls right asleep.

I think it's a combo of growth spurt and teething....??

Long story short, I'm ready to go to work tomorrow.  I love her more than anything in the world, but I just can't do it 24/7. I don't know how the SAHM's do it.

And, now she's napping in her swing and making cute laughing noises while she sleeps.

    Those cranky days are really, really tough.  Maybe she didn't like the movie? :)

    I felt the same way after being home with DS most of last week and all the long weekend.  I think I was boring him!

    Hope her night was better!

    I felt that way when I was on maternity leave.  I was so bored and sick of being stuck at home all the time (there's only so many walks and trips to Target you can take before even they get old).

    But now that I'm back I'm so exhausted and totally missing DD.  I really hope this gets better.
