As some of you might know, I have been having a few problems with Sebastians sleeping habits at night. Well we did the controlled crying for 2 nights and the 3rd night he slept right through!
Its amazing how sleep deprivation can alter the way you look at your child. After the first couple of days, even 3 or 4 it doesn't really matter. You think "that's what babies do". But after a week of only getting 4-5 hrs a night you start looking at this creature a whole lot differently.
I didnt want to play with him, I forced smiles. It was horrible. I am happy to report though that after 2 good nights sleep I am well and truly ready for the next round of torture he decides to throw at me (My mum is talking toilet training already )
I am also happy to report that we have found a home based day care lady to take him 1 day a week to give me a break. We dont have any family or friends here so I am with the kids 24/7 and it can get a little noisy in my head some times. So I have decided to kick him out on Wednesdays so mummy can have a noise free day.
I cant wait!! I am sooooooo looking forward to having a "me" day. I can go to the hairdressers, I can do some sewing, Hell, I can sleep all bloody day if I choose! It will be so nice to have those few, sweet hours where nobody wants anything from me! Now I just have to keep my hubby off me. I know what this will mean to him........ FREE SHAG DAY!!! He will think that coz the kids aren't here it will be a perfect opportunity. I know I should be thinking the same thing but I have to be selfish and say that all I want is 1 day a week to be left alone! I will have to have a chat in advance I think and warn him.
Well, thats all the latest with us. See you round like a fruit loop[. |
