i hate nights like this.... amola: i am so freakin' tired right now.
i stayed up until 1:30 this morning, which is generally no big deal. i was making brownies for my old daycare lady's benfit bake sale tomorrow and cleaned the kitchen (i am actually going to have before & after pics of the kitchen...it was that bad). so, at 1:30am i went and crawled into my big ol' king-sized bed with my brand-new humongous body pillow (thank you am..... :-*), scrootched around and got comfy, and prepared for a good night's sleep....
2:00am....."momma! momma! momma!" "what?" "i peed the bed"......get up out of bed, go into the girls' room, get emily cleaned up, move both of them to my bed. scrootched back into the body pillow, and prepared to go to sleep.
2:30am....."emily, move, you're in my way" "sarah, stop kicking me" "mom, she's in my way"......threatened both girls with death if they made another sound.
3:00am......"waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" sonofab!tch. jared was screaming. now keep in mind, he has the diaper rash from he!! so i figured that he poo-ed and it hurt. nope, just a little wet. so i changed him, got him a bottle, which he didn't want. so i put him in bed with me. and the pillow. and the girls.
3:30am.......i was still trying to give him the bottle as he flipped and flopped beside me. all i could hear from him was "ba ba ba ba da da da MA MA MA du du bu bu". i mean the kid's mouth would not stop.
4:00am....."mom, make him be quiet" "mom, sarah's kicking me" threatened all 3 of them with death if they didn't knock it off and go to sleep.
5:00am......took jared back to his room, put him in his crib wide awake, and closed my bedroom door so that i couldn't hear him. however, i could still hear him sitting in there babbling.....i think i finally dozed off for a bit....
somewhere between 5:00 and 7:00am.....leg cramps! yup! wouldn't be a night without them! laid there and cried for a while out of sheer exhaustion and pain.
7:00am.......cell phone rang. my ex is running late. sh!t. i'm supposed to have all the kids at daycare in 10 minutes. started yelling and screaming at the kids to get them up and moving, he showed up at 7:15 and picked them up and i took jared to daycare. came home and had a bowl of cheerios to try to get motivated to do something with the day.
8:00am....gave up and went back to bed. texted am and told him to call me at lunchtime to wake me up.
10:30am.....here we go again. leg cramps. back to sleep.
12:00pm....finally the day brightened when am called me and woke me up. talked to him for a while and finally crawled out of bed just after noon.....
making more brownies to run over to old daycare lady's house....want to make 2-3 more batches if i have the time and the energy. have a ton of laundry and stuff to do. and i'm so freakin' tired that i can't keep my eyes open.
funny thing is that while all this was happening, i was cursing out the ex.....you know "if he hadn't been such an @$$ he would be here right now to help with all of this bullsh!t and maybe i could get some sleep." i was so mad at him during the night and the wee hours of the morning. then after i had my nap and talked to am, i realized that if the ex was here, it would have been so much worse, because he would have slept through it all! we had nights like this when we were married, and they played out the exact same way that they did last night, except that i would have gotten up in the morning and gone to work and worked all day.
i am better off. i am sooooooo much better off without him.....
now i have to go post my "something wonderful happened today" that kinda' ties in with this.....lol

that is funny....jared is the one that i've never had trouble with during the night. toss him into bed wide awake, he puts himself to sleep and sleeps through the night with no problems. he very rarely gets up. so last night just totally sucked. maybe he and sam were having a discussion...probably talking about the meaning of life or something, huh? lol
Re: i hate nights like this.... PiscesGoddess: I think they were probably plotting to throw us into exhaustion! :P
I swear sam was saying the exact same things.. I always knew babies were from another planet ;D
LOL
Sam wakes up every night 3 am.. on the dot..drives me crazy..and he sleeps in the room with us so cant ignore him for too long..and he likes to lay there and jibber jabber at me about the meaning of life and how hard he has it at 7 months ;D
