Sorry for my double post, but just as I posted in the previous thread it got closed, so thought I'd post in the new one too...
Hello lovelies!
My apologies in advance for the rant/vent.... and I'm sorry that I have been MIA, but have had a real rough few days with Noah this week and feeling a bit sad, down, stressed and emotional!
I have been reading everyone's posts but just haven't had time to come do persies as Noah has been so clingy and hardly sleeping during the day. It's very frustrating as I haven't done ANYTHING, I have a tonne of washing, the house hasn't been vacuumed or mopped for nearly a week and the dishes gets done when I get time during the day (if I even do) otherwise DH does them. Have been flying solo most of the time as DH leaves at 5am and doesn't get home til around 6:30pm-7:00pm which means I have no time to do anything or have any time for myself. Noah usually goes to bed just as DH shows up at home and then I usually start making dinner, have dinner, have a shower, a cuppa tea and then fall in bed dead exhausted...only to start my day similar to the day before again the next morning.
I actually had a pretty good day yesterday as Noah and I went to my Mummies group and it was lovely to get out and about and to chat with the other Mummies and have some adult conversation. I live for my fortnightly Wednesday catchups with them. Noah also slept pretty well during the day yesterday, but we had a crappy night last night, well I did. He went to sleep at 6:45pm and slept til 2:30am, but I couldn't sleep and didn't fall asleep until nearly midnight. Woke up when he did and then we woke nearly every 1.5hours (think he was hot and just not wanting to settle) and by 6am this morning didn't want to sleep anymore. He had a 30 minute nap this morning, an hour nap around lunch time and then had a 25 minute nap this arvo, so who knows what his sleep will be like tonight.
Sorry for my rant/vent, but I feel better for getting it off my chest. Thanks Vix for your lovely and sweet message, really appreciate you thinking of me! Hope you're doing ok. I'm thinking of you too!
nawww Pretz - huge huge hugs babe. i now how you feel cooper has been soooo clingy for a couple of days now and with mum in thailand and mum and my sis have moved house so they are no longer within walking distance and DF at work allll day im exhausted. i feel terrible coz the minute he walks thru the door i hand him this whingy kid and just walk away. is your DH working over the weekend? i hope he isnt so you get a chance to have some R&R and just focus on you for an hour or so. i wish you lived closer so i could come over and look after Noah just so you could have a good nap. thinking of ya hun wish i could help
feeling like crapola this morning. had a migraine during the night and V was incredibly frustrating and wouldn't sleep. I think I got 1.5 hours, then another 1.5 hours, then another 1.5 hours and then maybe 2 hours.
At least I got SOME sleep I guess. But broken up like that it is no fun. Still feel like throwing up this morning and have a residual headache but not anywhere near as bad.
Gotta go down the street soon and organize all the legal aid paperwork and get that all happening.
Raffy hun can you come and do mine? my house looks like a bomb hit it.
I am having a lazy pj day today after a long and sleepless night, yet again.
Sooooooooooooooooo tired it got to the point this morning where I considered calling up J and asking him to come and take V for a while. He's about the only person who would actually willingly have him and give me a break.
But if I start doing that now even in small amounts he's going to want him all the time.
So what do I do, apart from suck it up and get on with it. V has been pretty good today though, awake for a few small bursts of playtime and feeds and asleep the rest of the time. At least he isn't cranky with his cold.
Noah also slept pretty well during the day yesterday, but we had a crappy night last night, well I did. He went to sleep at 6:45pm and slept til 2:30am, but I couldn't sleep and didn't fall asleep until nearly midnight.
