Raise your hand if you are tired!

Mini vent...feel free to ignore :)

I think I pulled a muscle in my calf the other day so it's been really tough to get comfortable enough to sleep.  In addition A has been cutting teeth and having poop issues so she is not a happy camper.

Some days motherhood is easy and then I have these days where I really wonder how long I can last.  Don't get me wrong, my kid is the best thing that has ever happened to me (meeting her dad goes along with that) but even after a year I wonder if I should have prepared myself better for the physical toll motherhood would take on me.  Lack of sleep, eye issues, exhaustion, etc.  I haven't taken pictures because I look like sh!t.  The extra weight, dark circles, frizzy hair is pissing me off.

I'm tired.  I'm not a supermom today.  Raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about.

  • ME!

    Ist and 2nd year molars are coming in at the same time and I haven't slept through the night in 2 weeks.

  • ME!!

    N was up at 1:15 crying for about 20 minutes before I relented and brought her into our bed, then after about an hour of kicking and thrashing and playing I put her back to bed, 20 more minutes of screaming, dh got her up and brought her back to bed, more kicking etc.  Finally Dan just got up for the day around 3:45 and I finally got to sleep...but it was a rough few hours and I'm sure he's beyond exhausted today.

    I know what you are talking about. Let me just say that last night had me wondering how bad Ferber is going to be because I just can't imagine it much worse than last night and yet, I know it will be.

  • *raises hand* - I am on week 3 w/o DH :(
  • Me!

    I have a cold for the first time since Matteo was born and I am exaughsted.  To make matters worse he got his 4 month shots yesterday and tonight my DH won't be home until after DS is asleep.  All I want to do right now is lay down, I can't imagine how hard tonight is going to be.

  • ***raises hand, but not too high b.c I'm too tired to lift it up too much***

    We're having a bit of a rough go with bedtime since going back to school- just a matter of transitioning to the new schedule I'm sure but it doesn't make it easier! 

    **pouring third cup of coffee!**

  • Me!  I'm too tired to even explain why I'm so tired :)

    ETA: Although not as tired as the blogger mom I was reading about yesterday with 3 under 2, 3 seperate PGs.  Just reading about a trip to the dentist made me want to pull my hair out.

  •  I am so glad I have you guys to keep my expectations real. I am tired too, because I am 9 months pregnant but I'm sure not as tired as you all. 

    I did do residency, so I was accustomed to sleep deprivation, but you were only up every fourth night, not every night. And it was a long long time ago.  

    Whoo hoo, can't wait for baby to come and never to sleep again! Better get back to that sleep  book.

  • Me! I think we may have a growth spurt going on here. Zzzzz...
  • :::raising hand:::  I don't even remember what it's like to feel well rested.
  • I am beyond tired.

    Up at midnight, 2, twice at 4 and then 5 for the day, one hour commute to work, full day of work, going to run 5 miles at lunch, hour commute home (hopefully!), then get the kids fed, bathed, in bed, make dinner for us then hopefully to bed.

    Its all worth it though, right?!

  • Can I raise an eyelid instead?  I feel like I need to tape them open.

  • Me too! I'm on my second cup of coffee though. ;)

    I was so out of it that last night I accidentally posted pics of my nekkid boobie on flickr (nursing pics of me and c) as PUBLIC.  Yup, all my contacts got full shots of my nekkid boob, until my mom alerted me to it this AM.  Ooops!

    Libby, you must be tired! Pregnant, with a toddler. I can't imagine.

  • My hand is raised! I don't think there is anything you can do to prepare. It is just so up in air, you never know what kind of kid you are going to have and what issues may crop up along the way.
