Someone shoot me.
DD is currently crying it out in her room. It's breaking my heart but something has to give.
While I was feeding her before bed ds2 ripped 15 pages out of a book and tore each one up. He's been hell on wheels lately and I have no idea what to do with him. He'd had five fits by 10am yesterday...he climbed he bookcase during one and screamed for 20 straight minutes during another. Later, out of nowhere, he kicked the baby. With both feet. While wearing cowboy boots.
I'm wayyyyy behind with my business and have done nothing to prepare for the boys' party on Sunday. I'm so overwhelmed and exhausted.
I can't wait for dd to stop crying. I'm going to pour a glass of wine and add some more things to my amazon cart.

Re: Someone shoot me.
o.m.g. I'll pour a few extra for you. Is your H still OOT? Is there a full moon?
My H works A LOT of hours, but thank God he is in town, at least.
Maybe look for a straight jacket on amazon?
Hugs, girlfriend.
Thanks. He comes home Friday and goes back sunday night or early Monday morning.
I better get a really good Christmas gift. Like a vacation.
hugs!
I wish you had moved here so I could come help you.
((HUGS))
I wish you were closer so I could help...or at least we could commiserate. I swear, the third has driven me right over the edge. It's not DS completely, but all three of them together just hitting their stride at just the right time to keep me off balance and a mess. Wine is nice. Vacations are nicer. Hopefully you get both!! And a few more days with the hubby home sooner than you expect!
Oh hugs girl. That sounds rough.
How long is DH doing the home on the weekends thing?
Ack! This is what I'm fearing...
Thanks, girl.
He'll get to be home on the weekends through the end of the month and then we're not sure if he'll get to fly home every weekend or if he'll have to stay two weeks at a time in January and part of February.
I was seriously thinking the words, "OMG, someone shoot me," right before I logged onto here, because this is what I do when I need a distraction from life, and your post was the first on the page. It's like you read my mind.
I think we had our baby girls around the same time, and I'm going through h*ll too. Between my job(s), the holidays and the baby not.sleeping.at.ALL. I want someone to shoot me. There have been nights when I have shut down my laptop, to go straight upstairs to get the kids ready for school. Literally, no sleep at all, because I'm trying to make up all the hours during the day I spend trying to get AM to sleep or holding her when she's not. She's a teething ball of fussiness right now and wants to held.all.the.time. I am going absolutely batty. The house is a pigsty, older DD has pneumonia, and I'm completely behind on all holiday stuff. I am subsisting on 3-4 hours of interrupted sleep a night at best, and at least 1-2 nights where I get zero sleep, as I've worked straight through the night (also interrupted). I am WAY behind on my business sh*t, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the verge of getting in trouble with every order.
If we weren't both in BF'ing h*ll, I'd say we need a flight of tequila.
You poor thing. It sucks, doesn't it? On one hand, I feel like my business is too much with everything else going on. On the other, I absolutely love it and it's my outlet and I selfishly don't want to give it up. I have a sitter who comes once a week for a few hours and I'm thinking about adding another day. I don't know how I'd fit that in, though, with preschool and early intervention and private speech therapy and audiology appointments.
The CIO worked. She gave in after an hour of me going in every five minutes. My arms are no free to edit for the first time in months. Usually I'm trying to do shortcuts with one hand and the other has fallen asleep under her.
It's probably a good thing my H is out of town because my house is a freaking disaster. Seriously. Embarrassingly so.
I'd love some tequila but I settled for online shopping. I just spent almost $200 on Amazon. Most of it was Christmas gifts, but I did get myself an adorable Kate Spade iphone case.
Big hugs to you and Aggie. Lordy. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Toss in a small baby who won't sleep and it's about damn near impossible to function, let alone work and take care of other children.
You guys are both in my thoughts. It will get better, but I know it's h*ll when you're there.

Yes, it's 1:30 and yes I'm working!
Yay, I'm glad she got some sleep and you got some work done. I didn't realize your H was OOT. That would seriously make me want to ram an ice pick through my eye.
I am going to sort of shut down after the holidays. I'm just not going to renew and on etsy, that is practically equivalent to shutting down. Right now, I'm catching up on orders from November, then that's it until AM is sleeping better. I love this, we sort of need the income, and it's an outlet from being a SAHM, but I don't think my body can take any more sleep deprivation, not to mention how many times I have to fight to stay awake just on a 5 minute drive to the grocery store.
I just have to remind myself this too shall pass, and every parent in the world has gone through this.
