presidentin' is hard!
Being a stay at home mom stinks sometimes! Although the alternative to working and leaving my baby somewhere else is unfathomable, there are some days when I wish I could just go to work for 12 hours, take a break every couple hours, eat lunch uninterrupted, and feel like I made a difference. Instead, I wake up after about 5 interrupted hours of sleep, wipe a stinky butt all day, find myself covered in vomit and urine, and have a tiny human who seems permanently attached to my chest. Not to mention the housework, finances, and classes. I cant remember the last time I had food that wasn't made in the microwave. Most of my conversations are in a high pitched voice and use made up words where I speak to my son, not very stimulating, he laughs at walls. This week has been particularly hard because he got his shots. I expected a crabby, feverish kid. Instead, he just wouldn't sleep! Not grumpy, just not tired. He was awake for 14 hours!! I can't even stay awake for 14 hours!!! Thank goodness, he has been asleep so far for three consecutive hours. Hallelujah! I need a night off but I feel so bad for dropping him off somewhere, he has colic, he just cries for hours at night. The doctor says colic usually subsides by 3 months, just one more month to go! I'm happy I have a healthy, (mostly) happy child, but keeping my sanity is hard!
