You ever wake up and just know its gonna be one of those days?? Yep that was me today. Gianna kept us up most of the night I’m not sure if its her first year molars or a sleep regression but something is brewing. By the third time she woke up I just brought her into bed with us because at this point Fuck it!! She slept pretty good, she tossed and turned till she found her spot right up against me. I on the other hand was kicked in the throat, and the stomach and pretty sure I got an elbow to the eye, but hey as long as she’s comfy right? I also was accompanied by our 3 cats, each of them right up against me as well in the most obnoxious spots too! Anyway, my husband slept better than me- in the sense that he didn’t have a tiny human karate chopping him ; He woke up with her thank god. I slept an entire hour in a king bed alone ( its the little things). Had an early morning dentist appt only to find out I have to get my last wisdom tooth removed- I despise the dentist. Anyone else an awful dental patient? I literally warned the doctor of how bad of a patient I am, and he responds with ” oh all my patients say that, then they turn out to be the best”. haha ok buddy try doing some X-rays on me lets see how far we get, needless to say we got the front of my mouth, he said the back looked ok just by looking in lmao. After that debacle I decided to do a #targetrun with my daughter. I had two returns and needed some stuff. I promised I would only get what was on my list. YEA RIGHT. I legit lie to myself every time I walk into that store, I should not be allowed to go in there alone…ever. Gianna basically screamed the entire time while I bribed her with snacks. We leave and come home have some lunch and its almost her nap time. Im thinking great she should nap well since she was up a lot and its been about 7 hours since she woke up. I was soo wrong; this kid screamed for 40 mins before laying down for 20 and screaming again. I sat there staring at her monitor just praying she would fall asleep. She would not let up, I had so much planned for that free time I was dreaming about since 8am. I was gonna clean up the living room, put up new curtains, eat some lunch , catch up on Southern Charm ( my new favorite show)! Instead I pleaded with a 1 year old to sleep even for a half hour at this point because I was at my breaking point. I can’t understand how my friends have their kids on such awesome sleeping schedules and I can’t even get mine to nap for an hour. Its so exhausting, but this is motherhood right? Some kids are excellent sleepers, others aren’t. Some are picky eaters and others will eat whatever you give them. Just when you think you have it all figured out they change the game for you, constantly keeping us on our toes. I probably should of been in bed two hours ago but I wanted to jump on here and write a bit. Hoping for a better day tomorrow and if not , we will try again the next day. Have a great night everyone.
