Feeling the Pressure
Man am I feeling the pressure building on me! It's like a marathon that I have no desire to run! ick.
So after getting just 2.5 hours sleep the night before, Lyric decided she wanted to be the reason why we stayed up last night, so she was up. All night. It started around 1am and didn't stop till about 6am. She just would wake up and cry and cry. It was terrible. Thankfully Jon got up with her, but that didn't mean I got any sleep. I have NO idea what her problem was. We went through all the steps to see why a baby was crying. The diaper, the cuddling, the soothing, sucking out a stuffy nose with the booger sucker and she just was not happy and did not want to sleep.
I've found that kids do this randomly, so all you moms who are waiting for the time your newborns will sleep through the night all the time, keep waiting. I think it's growth spurts or something, but randomly, they'll revert to waking up in the night and it is a beating, let me tell you.
Oh the pressure mounting is because I do not have a day off to chill for about 3 weeks straight. It is going to KICK my butt, with a capital K.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
But Lyric being up last night really slaughtered my energy. And I keep thinking about having to work from 8a-8p on Saturday, and that slaughters the rest of whatever energy I had left from the previous slaughtering.
Ok, happiness.
I wasn't able to go back up to the hospital till closer to 9 b/c I kept the girls last night and they have been sick (hence a fun epidsode with Maddy we won't talk about). I don't know if you've ever been around my nieces, but they are really funny. Maddy did something bad, and Ashlyn (in all seriousness), was explaining to me how I needed to spank her and where. Kadyn has the funniest personality and Madysen I think genuinely believes she is a princess.
We have discovered one thing about the newest member of the family that is going to have to get adjusted ASAP. He doesn't like loud noises, not even loud talking voices. Well with 3 sisters ages 5,4 and 20 months, he really is going to have to get over that soon. When Lyric met him, she just touched his head, not hard mind you, and he immediately started crying. He has NO idea what he is about to endure, the poor kid. But he'll get tough really soon! :) But one lovely thing last night was that my dad brought us food from On the Border and so I got to eat queso. mmmm.... queso. That makes me hungry right now!
Well, ya. I think that's all I have to talk about. I mean, I'm sure I could keep rambling and talk about exciting things that might be happening in the future, but until things are more solid, I won't.
Despite my tiredness, when I think about the future, I get a spark. Which is new and fun and I feel hopeful.
Okay, back to work.
