Sleep Deprivation

Author: Marylin | Filed under: J, Max, sleep or lack of Monday Nov 19,2007

Oh. my. god. I’m just too tired to think properly let alone type - it’s just as well there’s a spell checker on this thing. It’s 9pm and as soon as Max has actually settled to sleep in his cot I’ll be going to bed myself.

It’s times like this I wonder how I ever thought I had a clue as to what being truely exhausted really meant before having children of my own. I feel like I should apologise to any mums that I attempted to justify my tiredness to before becoming a mother myself. I can fully appreciate why people who can’t sleep are driven completely insane, I’m almost there myself at the moment!

*Just a couple more months and he’ll be sleeping through.* This is my mantra… If i didn’t keep repeating this to myself when I try to put the kettle in the fridge and the milk on the kettle’s hub (yes it did happen this morning…again), or wonder how Zack can possibly have grown so much not to fit into a vest to find that it’s actually his little brother’s, or even when I called a spork a cross between a fork and a knife as opposed to a fork and a spoon… I’m sure all of these blips are because of my sheer tiredness building up from the past 5 weeks and 4 days (5 days if you count the fact that I was in labour the night before M was born!). They can’t possibly just be my complete stupidity getting worse… can they? [J’s reading this over my shoulder and laughed at the above comment… he stopped when I asked if he wanted to be on night feeds for the next week /sigh…men have no idea!]

I really hope Max is a good boy for me tonight and sleeps well… I am dreading the thought of having to be awake for so much of the night when I could be having my precious sleep.

Ahh bliss… he’s fallen asleep which means soon I can too )

Argh!

5.30AM:

Why won’t my son actually drink his friggin milk?! he wakes up and cries his wee eyes out cause he’s hungry and then only takes the most stupid tiny piddly amount before spitting out his bottle to give me a grin… normally that’s cute but at 2am AND 5am…this has to be some sort of joke huh?

*breathes* I know this is just the sleep deprivation catching up on me, he’s 5 and a half weeks old… I almost had a nervous breakdown with Zack when he was about 8wks old cause I was just trying to do more than I could. Must try not to do or expect too much of myself or the boys atm… but then that’s always easier said than done isn’t it?

The most annoying thing is that although he’s had as much milk as he’s going to the lil sod is now wide awake and making grutning/snuffling sounds which keep me awake! So far tonight I’ve had about 2 hours of solid sleep and I most likely won’t get much more… when’s my day off?

Dammit!

I missed a post! I knew I’d forgotten something yesterday!! I was just too tired after a bad night up with Max on sunday night/monday morning… sigh. Not that I was in the running for NaBloPoMo anyway, having missed the first few days, but I wouldn’t have even started this blog if I hadn’t had a nosey at it.

Oh well, onwards and upwards. J is working yet another late shift today which means he won’t be back til almost 9pm *cries*, I really hate his shift work, although at least it’ll go back to normal as of next week after this weekend the next weekend he is working is right in between Christmas and New Year, grr to that, no one will even call up those days I bet (he works in a telecomms centre).

Oh. My. God. It’s Christmas in 6 weeks, one pay day to go… and i haven’t started or even thought about what to get for anyone yet. Think I’ll have a look-see next weekend when I go to get my hair done for the first time in about 6 months! Not that I’m the sort of person to get their hair done every 6 wks or anything, but it’s nice to leave the kids with J and get some uninterrupted me-time, even if I do come back to something resembling a war-zone! Know what I’m getting him at least, he’s a gamer, therefore I buy him games and he’s a happy bunny, the simple life works very well sometimes D

Gonna go do stuff while the boys are in bed… or maybe I’ll have a nap instead.

Ouch!

So I scalded my left hand this morning… bloody painful! short n sweet post today as I hate not typing properly! Just hope it’s back to normal by tomorrow… *sigh*

ooh, the 4 hourly thing seems to be sticking too so yay! And i had a lie in… i guess the scalding is Mr Sod’s revenge for a few things going right for me. >_<
