So… I’ve had a headache the last 2 days. From hell. I get to sleep, sometimes, and then about 2 a.m. wake up and can’t go back to sleep. For about 2 hours. Then I crash again and get a quick bit of shut eye before one kid or the other starts making enough noise to wake the other one up. It’s just not enough. Added to the fact that the girls feel the need to not nap at the same time (again) and I’m just about beyond exhausted. Obviously, the minute I try and rest while the baby’s down, the big one starts jumping up and down and screaming. Not good in general terms, even worse when you have a headache.
Neither kid is happy unless they’re getting my full attention, which means constant chatter, singing, or crying unless sitting on my lap or being fed. Sometimes WHILE being fed. Oh my goodness! Some days I just want to lock myself in my room for an hour, just for the peace and quiet.
I’d love to get a break, but that’s just not in the cards anytime soon. Because of course when my husband gets home, they do the same thing to him, but he’s better at ignoring it, in which case, no chance for me to grab a nap. Not to mention that all the chores I’m not able to do while they’re awake I have to do while he’s home. ZZZZZZ…
