Gong, gong...

...do you hear that? That's the gong of the gong show that was my day yesterday. *sigh*

Don't yawn son...SLEEP! :)

You know your day is going to turn out to be long when you have to help your infant son work out his gas at 3:30 in the morning and then proceed to have him only calm down and sleep when he is on you. So by 6 that morning I really hadn't had much sleep. I did get about 3.5 hours before the gas debacle but not much after that. Thankfully DH took our son for at least 45 minutes this morning so I got a bit of a nap in then.

Last night wasn't much different. He went about 3 hours from the dream feed then maybe another 45 minutes to an hour before we had another gas issue that had me giving him gripe water and helping him work it out. Then he slept with me till he nursed again. He slept in his crib for just over an hour and then he was up again wanting cuddles from mom. The only reason I put him back in his crib was just so I could get some deep sleep without having to be in the same position, so aware that he's there. (He squirms a lot)

He woke up this morning, after nursing at about 6:45, smiling widely at me. It's just so hard to be upset with him when he's so stinkin' cute, but man alive do I want to sleep now. He's actually taking a semblance of a nap, but I need to be up to make DD some breakfast cause I promised her crepes. SOO it goes.

Yeah that`s right you sit there and be cute.

I hope the gong show that was yesterday doesn't bleed into today, it's so hard for me to be involved with what DD is doing when DS is so clingy. DD feels sad and ignored and I just feel so drained and tired that everything she does gets on my nerves. I have to take deep breaths so I'm not taking my tiredness out on her, but she's four, and chatty and oh my word it just seems like it is NON STOP when I just want a break.

DH is gone next week and I think I might go mad. I honestly do not know how single parents do it. You guys amaze me! Kudos to all my single parent friends, you're heroes in my book.
