I literally just gulped down half a bowl/mug of lukewarm coffee in order to clear my head quickly and take a moment for myself as I have been up off and on since about 12:45am. First it was a feeding, then my son, then baby fussiness, then my son, another baby feeding and so on until my daughter who was the kindest in the night and stayed put, but threw a massive hissy fit at 6:30 because she instantly wanted to begin all the projects I said we could do today... All this before my first sip of coffee. Irritation and Mommyhood is not a good combo, so here I sit taking a moment as they play (sort of) quietly in their rooms (and by "rooms" I mean that they aren't really listening and are wandering in and out). Whatever. The baby is asleep for the moment and I had some coffee and here I sit for a brief Mommy Moment... And cue the whimpering baby.
...I find it funny that the last post I made was mere hours before I FINALLY went into labor and gave birth. She is such a precious little doll (as are all of my children... when they aren't annoying the you-know-what out of me, anyway) and while we raved and ranted on and on about how good of a baby she was, she has for the past few nights proven to make a liar out of me. Let's hope this does NOT continue. And cue crying baby and a slew of random questions from the 5-year old.
And now after the diaper change and a few rounds and "I gotta tell sumfin' you" from my 3-year old, I have absolutely no idea what the point of all of this was. I will post it anyway, however just to give all a glimpse into the sad brain cell deterioration that occurs with constant sleep deprivation, answering inane nonsensical questions, and the ever present fumes of poopy diapers.
I hope there is more coffee left in the pot. I am going to need it.
