So tired...

[~clover~]

I just put Jesse in the cot with a bottle & left him. He's crying on & off & trying to get me to go back, but I don't want to give in. I'm so tired.
The last few days he'll feed to sleep then the second I either try to put him down, or he realises he's asleep he's up again & running around & refusing to sleep.
Its taking an hour or more of my laying with him each time, for him to wake up less than 15 minutes in. After 3 goes he might sleep.
I can't do anything while he's awake, coz he wants me constantly & I can never get anything finished. The second I start he wraps himself around my legs & cries til I pick him up.
I have a headache coz 1, I'm tired. He hasn't been going to bed til after 11 the last few nights, then is up at around 7. 2, coz I'm so frusterated & stressed with him.
I lay there feeding him, planning what I'm going to do once he's asleep, needing to get things done, for him to tae over an hour, then wake up again, then another hour & he might stay asleep.
He's still crying. Bri needs something to eat, I need a coffee & I wanna cry coz i feel guilty for walking away & leaving him to cry for the last 10 minutes or so.
I have no clean dishes, no clean clothes, I need a shower, there's rubbish, toys & Dora cards covering my loungeroom, chips smashed up all over the family room, a massive headache & he's still crying!!!

Well nearly 2 hours later, he's finally asleep again...I'm almost scared to put him down!
I can get something done now...maybe even get dressed!!

Feel assured that he is in a safe place in his cot, ten minutes won't hurt him hun..

Some people say that the bubba can pick up on others anxiety which may cause them some extra unrest too, so take the time to have your coffee, get dressed etc and then go back to him hun.

Cyber hugs!
