I'm exhausted.
I haven't slept more than probably three or four hours a night in probably two weeks.
My kids are killing me... don't let those adorable little faces that I love so much fool you...
See that one there on the right... yeah... found him walking around downstairs at 2:30am this morning. I had to lay on the floor for an hour next to his bed so he wouldn't get up again and would go back to sleep.
That other one on the left... she was up somewhere between five and six times... you know... just because...
I'm a zombie.
I have no patience for anyone... children, husband, friends, mom... I feel terrible. I can't live like this. My family doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
So I bought this book (thanks to my incredible aunt) and I am going to devour it today.
Then I'm going to die for a few days because I love my children and myself and my family and know that we all need sleep.
Wish me luck...I'll be back when I can think straight.
That book was a lifesaver for me and my husband. Sleep training truly does work... As hard as it is to endure. Good luck! It'll be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteTwo things... I told you about that book MONTHS ago! Just think that was months of precious sleep wasted. :) And Why don't use switch the door handle? It's just an easy fix with unscrewing one, maybe two screws and turning the knob around. He won't be able to open door and escape at 2:30.
ReplyDeleteaw i hope you can get a nap! they are sure darling!!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you! Sleepless nights with babies though are better than sleepless nights with teenagers! (: (I know it doesn't help that much to hear that now though)
ReplyDeleteOMG, are we the same person?? I've been unbearable for the last month or so. The lack of sleep, grown-up interaction, messy apartment that never seems to be clean no matter how many times I've cleaned it, etc just really got to be too much... I had no patience left. I wasn't finding joy in anything. Most of the time, just getting off the couch was too hard. I finally gave in and went back to my therapist, and he recommended I try Wellbutrin. I was really hesitant (I've had terrible luck with antidepressants in the past) but I gave it a shot, and even though it's been less than a week, it is like THE CLOUDS HAVE PARTED. The difference in my mood is unbelievable, I feel like ME again. I even have renewed patience for Tesla, who apparently didn't get the memo that she's not a newborn anymore and shouldn't need to nurse every two hours. :) Good luck- this too shall pass.
