[this too shall pass... right?] |
Link up below!
Right now my thoughts are completely consumed with being exhausted (my good sleeper has decided that he'd go ahead and wake up and cry at three for the past two nights, which I know isn't unordinary but I'm just terrified it's the new normal), how we're going to transition back to work/day care next week logistically, how he's going to do being away from me (and vice versa), some work crap, and some other shit. Eloquent, I know. The only thing bookish right now is that I'm rereading Catcher in the Rye and I still contend that Holden is pain in the ass (sorry, husband). I try hard to not be a complainer or a whiner, but right now that's pretty much all I feel like doing- I've reached my "enough is enough" moment. That being said, the next week or two while we're getting into the groove of things might be a little light here on the blog. Hang in there with me, mmmmkay? Have a great week!
Two weeks is the golden rule with babies. I promise, in a fortnight, things will be back to 'normal'. Whenever I was going through rough patches with my kids, I'd think 'In two weeks, it will all be different and this will be a distant memory.' Never failed to get me through.
ReplyDeleteI remember 22 years ago feeling the exact way you feel right now. Nap when you can, even if it means that you read less and the house is a mess. Treasure those wee hours in the morning with your little one as a special time together.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your little guy isn't sleeping. There's a lot of ebb and flow with babies' sleep patterns so hopefully he will get back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the transition to daycare. It will get easier!!
It will get better, I swear! Hang in there. I hope the transition back to work goes well.
ReplyDeleteOh, those sleepless nights seem to go on forever...but fortunately, they do not. Hang on.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Holden either!
Good luck with getting back into the routine . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by how early Americans go back to school! You have a lot on your plate right now, it's ok to be absent from here for as long as you need :) And I feel you on the sleep thing. Right now we've got night time sleep down, but my kid is turning out to be a non-napper, which I will not accept!! Haha.
ReplyDeleteHolden IS a pain in the ass.
ReplyDeleteHope things get straightened out for you soon!
