I'm just saying . . . . .
I'm a bit on edge lately. I CAN NOT sleep. I have been averaging about 4 hours a night for the past 3 weeks. It's driving me cRaZy!! I am a type of person that NEEDS her sleep!!! NEEDS at least 8 hours. 3-4 hours just ain't cutting it. I have tried to stay away from sleeping pills, because I am already on massive hormones (which is causing my sleepless nights) and pain killers (which is why I am on hormones!) so I didn't feel like adding another thing into the mix. But I think I have no choice. I'm a bit irritated with my life right now. I'm just saying!
Avery is a bit unreasonable lately. If she wants something and doesn't get it, she will sit there and SCREAM (not cry, SCREAM!) until she gets it. Sometimes I give in because I am too tired to deal with her (see above!) but other times, like this morning when she wants to eat nothing but candy for breakfast, I CANNOT give in. She she will sit there and scream, "i want it!" until I lose it and yell at her! Then she stops, then I get mad at her because my calm pleas for her to calm down just got more yelling, but as soon as I yell back, she stops. She makes me feel like Mother of the Year! I'm just saying!
I've decided that my children will just have to have long hippy hair for the rest of their lives. I took all 3 kids to get their hair cuts for school, and none of them look good. Blaise's is actually the best, which is good because he is the oldest, and really the only one who cares, but his bangs are cut STRAIGHT across at his brow. Do these hair stylists NOT know that that is not what is cool!!! I asked for them to clean up Avery's A-line cut, they gave her a bob! A bob is not an A line cut! And poor Caiden, his hair is BAD!!! And not cool bad, BAD BAD!!! I'm gonna have to try to take him in today and fix it. I'm just saying!
I think my hubby might be going crazy! He is stressed beyond belief. He has a ton of work, and no workers to help him do it, no one is paying him on time, and apparently my not sleeping at night is effecting him, because he is exhausted. He's had a tough summer, and needs a break. His crazyness is driving me crazy. I'm just saying!
Blaise starts school on Monday. Caiden starts the following week. Kinders start a week later because they do "assessment" tests on the Kinders. This has me a little worried. What do they need to assess? It's Kinder for pete's sake! He shouldn't need to be an award winning novelist already, should he? I fear that I have 5 days to teach him to read and write, know the key points in the political debates, and to stop picking his nose when he is bored. I'm just saying!
So, ..... what things have got you "just saying" today?

You poor thing!!!! I'm so glad you are venting though, it should help a little bit. The whole not sleeping thing? I'm right there with ya sista!!! It sucks to get up every 30 minutes to have to pee and the second you get up, feel like this 10 pound kid inside you is laying on all your vital organs! I'm just saying! Take a Tylenol PM once or twice a week and it will make a huge difference!! If you could get at least ONE night's full sleep, you would feel better. (a little at least) The whole school thing may just help a little too. Yes, it's a TON more driving around, but at least for so many hours during the day, you will only have one (screaming apparently) child to deal with. Get some sleep and take advantage of having family close now! ;) Love ya!
I'm hoping things settle down for you and you can get some sleep.
And, when you really need it, Tylenol PM is great...but, if it doesn't maybe you could talk to your doctor about the other meds?
SWEETIE, I'M SO SORRY. I WISH I HAD SOME WONDERFUL WORDS OF WISDOM FOR YOU.... BUT, I DON'T. OTHER THAN IT SUCKS! HOWEVER, IF YOU EVER WANT TO CALL ME ANY TIME DURING THE NIGHT AND VENT OR CRY OR SCREAM I TOO AM UP (UNABLE TO SLEEP) BETTER YET, HOW ABOUT A GIRLS LONG WEEKEND GET AWAY? I'M GAME IF YOU ARE. LET ME KNOW.
LOVE YA,
You're not alone. My little ones want candy for breakfast too. Maile has taken to threatening me when I tell her no. "Well then I'm gonna slam the door." Sweet.
I yell all the time. I guess it's either that or raise bratty children. Yell I will.
Get some sleep please.
Sleep deprivation is so hard. I'm so sorry. Depending on how my baby slept the night before really depends on how patient I am with my other two. I am also one who does not function well without 8 hours of sleep. I hope this week brings better sleep for you.
I hate not being able to sleep. I don't know how you feel about herbs, but my father-in-law has suggested to me in the past when I can't sleep that I take Scullcap. I've only taken it a couple of times, but it has totally done the trick and it's an herb that you wont become dependant upon.
Man, are you ever someone that needs her sleep. For as long as I can remember you've had a strict 10o'clock bedtime, and for good reason! For your sake, as well as everyone else around you, I hope you start sleeping better soon. =)
Let's see, Addi & Urbi are fighting like crazy. I would have never guessed that siblings would start annoying one another so young. I mean how in the heck does a 10 month old know exactly how to get under his sister's skin already...although it's not too hard to make Addison mad. I'm just sayin!
