(Referencing the Phoenix Suns Game that was on tonight)

What would happen if I went to sleep in the middle of our favorite show, what if I left all laundry, bath time, feedings & ALL THE THINGS to my husband because I was worn out from watch a game on TV? Not saying I am mad about him falling asleep during a show, I am saying I’m mad that I feel alone most of the time.

I honestly and truly love him more than anyone and anything.

Here goes… soap box time!

The past two days have been HELL! The fire starter is our sweet Penelope Sue…..This girl has been sleeping from 10pm to 7am for the past month (our sweetest and easiest girl until now) All of the sudden… NOPE… I am not sure if it is teething, growth spurt, travel or hunger!? MAYBE JUST ALL OF THE ABOVE!! I have tried EVERYTHING!!! So tonight she FINALLY goes to sleep!!! This is after green beans, 4 ounces of formula, warm bath, lots of play/tummy & cuddle time and not napping but 10 minutes at a time , 4-5 times each of those two days which equals about 40 -50 MINUTES in the entire day! Then to not sleep but maybe 2/3 hours at night just to wake up screaming. So I get up soothe her for about an hour just to repeat this a few more times before sunrise.

What does he do?

You guessed it! He is out cold sleeping on the couch. Mind you so is Penelope but I did everything for him to watch his Phoenix Suns Game.. food, quite, no disruption etc.. you guys know how men are with sports especially if said team make playoffs or whatever.Then here comes baby Penelope, feed, bathe, clothes, bottle and all the nightly routines. Only to finally sit and watch ONE episode of a show….NOPE! Mind you I am on MAYBE 4 hours the past two days. Before that we drove to Huntington Beach California (6hrs away which is really 8hrs w/ baby) Hosted 8+ people after being home with a sun burn that turned out to be sun poisoning an hour after pulling into driveway. One in which was my “SIL” who does NOT care nor does she ask if I’m ok or how my trip was… while I try to keep my eyes open to spoon feed my baby. They watched the game Sunday evening while also leaving the house a mess.

Let’s recap. I’m on no ACTUAL/FULL NIGHTS REST for 5 days. Due to travel and baby!

Yet I try to pull it together to be with him even if it’s a stupid show while we lay our asses on the couch! As you fellow moms could relate, that’s like date time or quality time most days when you have an infant.

He fell asleep half way during show!!!

IT GETS BETTER!

He says please come to bed. So I use the the restroom, get everything together (bottles, paci & blanket) and pick up sleeping baby to carry her upstairs.

THIS MAN HAS ALL THE LIGHTS STILL ON!!

T.V. BLASTING some shooting/gang bang whatever movie on!

This is 11pm and now….

PENELOPE IS NOW COMPLETELY AWAKE!

I rock and sing to her in rocking chair. I pulled out all the stunts. Still RESTLESS … I don’t blame her…

Now it’s 1:30am. Finally got baby to sleep in the swing and afraid to move her, yet I know she will wake up for the simple reason, she feels what mommy feels…. RESTLESS!

I am a stay at home mom only for (a moment… I keep trying to tell myself. I miss work haha… those shitty bosses were a lot better than my current kid bosses!😝) I am understanding of his career that he works in this Arizona heat all day! TRUST ME, I GET IT!

There is a tired mommy in all of us but I’m over here trying to not lose my cool or become a zombie due to super needy baby with sleepless nights! Homemaker, mom, maid, wife.. the list goes on and on!

What is the best way to approach this… MY advice… wait until morning to discuss, if only I took my own advice 😂 I pitched a temper tantrum 😳😂!

Happy wife happy life? Happy mom happy home ? Not sure on the correct sayings! You catch my drift though!

We will try again tomorrow and hope for the best. That’s all we can do, right?
