Good morning!

How's everyone doing today? How did the little ones sleep? Anything fun and exciting going on?

We had a pretty shitty night. DD2 woke up a few times and DH ended up bringing her into bed with us (which has never happened before) about half an hour before our wakeup time. I wasn't able to go back to sleep, but I did enjoy the extra baby snuggles. Plus we actually needed to be up a bit earlier today, so it all worked out, I guess.

I got to drop off the girls at DC with DH (hasn't happened in a while because we're always running late it seems). He set DD2 down and she walked about 12 feet to her teacher. She was beaming with pride (and so were we!). We are just getting SO close to actual walking!

Oh bummer, sorry about your crappy night.

Yay for the walking!!! Maybe she is having trouble sleeping because she's about to be a full time walker and she's excited about it?

I'm just gonna plop down a confession here. This morning has been a bit of a crux.

First and foremost, I've caught the girls' cold.

Second, I confess that I am completely and utterly out of energy. I have been letting things get away from me that I would normally stay on top of without a problem. This usually happens to me in pregnancy because of exhaustion, but most especially when I live with other people. I am so. tired. And so. sore. And there are other people who live in this house who can take care of their own sh!t instead of taking for granted that I will always do it because I owe them. Yeah, I do, but I'm also legitimately worn the fcuk out. The dishes are out of control. I haven't been cooking regularly. The floors are...well, you certainly couldn't eat off of them. Nobody else is lifting a finger to change it, they just keep hounding me about it, but I don't care. At all.

What is really sad is how I've let my own stuff get away from me. I haven't been maintaining DD1's behavior and rewards chart. When DD2 trashes my room I usually leave it until I simply can't stand to step over it/look at it anymore. My bed is covered in clothes that need folding - I slept on the couch last night. I just can't.

Oh, and DD2 is missing school today for the second time this week because I have no gas money. My bank account balance is literally $0.00. (That's how exactly I budget, lol.) When I turned the car on this morning to take her, it sputtered dangerously and I knew we would end up stranded. So instead I penned a note that I plan on sending her to school with tomorrow instructing them to switch her to bus rider status.

I'm supposed to get my tax refund direct deposited today but 1) it hasn't shown up and 2) my defaulted student loans may suck it all up anyway. So there's that.

Needless to say I am a grump this morning and my poor children have been b!tched at too many times already. I'm letting them watch TV and be away from me right now.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but I've got to get it out somewhere and somehow so I can be my normal self for the rest of the day.

DS was up for two hours last night. He was orajeled and given Tylenol. He would fall asleep in my arms and the second I put him in his crib cue crying. I couldn't fall asleep when I went to bed so I only had 3 hours in by the time he got up :::yawn::: at least I got 6 hours of sleep. Babysit kid is a crab butt today. DH is kicking me out of the house for a few hours tonight so he can't put my valentines gift together. I have no idea what he's up to I'm very curious to see what he came up with. Hopefully I will get a new phone tonight. I have worst luck with the freakin things. Hopefully this one works like it should!

ladybugpjb · February 2013

I can't really talk since I'm still in my pajamas... We've been awake over an hour, but only up about 45 minutes.

DS lost his paci last night around 2am and woke up crying. I never go get it for him, though - I let him find it himself. Am I a bad mom? I hope to take it away by 2, so I don't encourage it.

I am HOPEFULLY getting my new sewing machine today - if it doesn't happen today, I'm finding a different place to buy it. This will be the third time I've gone to the store with the intention to buy it - the lady has been at a convention. Ugh. I just want my new machine!

I'm hoping it's as nice today as it was yesterday - there is a park on the way to the sewing machine place, and I've been wanting to stop and check it out. DS needs some outside playtime, and that just doesn't happen when we stay home all day.

You have a LOT on your plate and you're doing it alone. No wonder you're burned out! I wish I was in FL so I could help you or at least take you to dinner! And juat because your family is helping you out by allowing you to live there, doesn't mean you're their indentured servant! That is a cruel mentality. You're heavily pregnant and in need of some grace. Hope your day goes OK.

My little sister and DH surprised me yesterday with a new toddler bed and bedding for DD, They even took apart the crib and set up the new bed. I think my sister is anxious for milestones and REALLY wanted DD out of the crib and into a "big girl bed."

DD actually took to it REALLY well. Went right to sleep, didn't fall out and when she woke in the morning played quietly in her room.

I was actually surprised, I was expecting chaos and no sleep.

Sorry lady, you shouldn't have to take care of everything just because they're providing a place for you to live. You're mega pregnant and need a break. If I lived there I'd take your kids for a little bit so you could nap or take you out for a fro yo.

Things will get better, I'm sorry they're so rough right now.

Being sick and being a mom do not go well together.

Sad but so true. I'm glad you're at least getting some relief.

Hello!

DD actually slept all night, and I only got up to pee once, so it was a good night!

We're having a good day, too. Miraculously, we made it (kinda lol) on time for her early appt for her flu booster, which wasn't as bad as I feared it might be. And then we went to my parents' house where she played with my mom and my bro's girlfriend all morning. And now we're going to settle down for a nap. It's been a pretty good day so far!

This gives me hope! We just finished securing DD's dresser to the wall last night, so I think after this weekend, we will start the big girl bed transition

I hadn't even thought that - Could be it. Or teething. She hasn't cut a tooth since early November, I think, and her gums are SOOOO swollen. Whatever it is, I hope she goes back to sleeping well soon

Kimbus, I'm sorry you had such a rough couple of days. I hope your H got the message. And that you get to catch a little break soon.

Good morning!
