RunsforWineandCarbs - you tagged me as I was writing up a post, haha! I'm hear. Just dragging this week. Damn daylight savings BS. That and Medicare is on my last nerve with denying claims for stupid reasons. I'm just worn out and exhausted.

Also, DS has asked that we come up with a trap for a leprechaun this year. I just took the last can out of a 12 pack of soda. At least I have the box part. Oy.
He informed me this morning that leprechauns do not like lucky charms so I'm not allowed to use that as bait.

I'm drowning. We are going through a sleep regression like we did last summer. J WILL NOT SLEEP. It's been about a week. He's been in his new room for about 2 or 3 and started out fine. He wants us in the bed with him. Most of the time I will fight but it's really really hard. He will scream and cry for hours. On Sunday, during naptime, he would not go down without me in the room. I left him in there. He cried for over an hour then fell out of the bed and busted his lip open. I'm caving. I can't not sleep. The other night I was screaming at H, telling him I hated our life, yelled in J's face, threw his star machine and then I plopped him in bed with H and slept on the couch. I am literally going insane.
I haven't popped in much. I'll hang out in the Blinds or specific topic threads, but that's about it. I'm trying to keep my head above water over here.

I'm trying Instacart for the first time this weekend. I normally use Peapod, but I like that you can order from multiple stores on Instacart, CVS included.

Pizzaslut, it's a lot to do with their age.. Ds is going through separation issues with me or H dropping him off at school.. total meltdowns, and then is fine 2 seconds after we leave. At home, he has to be by my side at.all.times, or hes crying. It's a lot. I know during waking hours it isn't as bad as it is when it's messing with your sleep, but just remember that this will pass. In the moment it's the worst ever though.

You're always welcome to message me and bitch too, Pizzaslut. I know the feeling of not wanting to keep feeling like you're being negative at all times and bla bla.. but sometimes you just have to get it out.

Betweenthelines, yes the attachment to me is getting to be much too. It's hard for me to get all the stuff I have to get done when he wants to be touching me at all times!

Watch your receipt - if they give you the store one versus what they charge. Apparently they can charge more than the store does. I love peapod, but reserve it for large grocery trips now.

We have been living with no washer & dryer since moving (they're on order), and the amount of laundry I have to do this weekend is overwhelming me. But I'm meeting a mom in our new neighborhood on Saturday at the St. Patrick's Day Parade around the block from our house. She has 3 kids. Our dd's and ds's are the same age, and she seems really cool. We both basically said the same thing: "look for the hot mess mom with the large yeti filled with mimosa"

Betweenthelines , yes the attachment to me is getting to be much too. It's hard for me to get all the stuff I have to get done when he wants to be touching me at all times! God, it's the worst. But then I feel bad because I don't see him in the mornings, and we get home at 5pm and then that's the PM rush of dinner, straightening house, homework, baths, and bed before 7pm.

OH, and we finally got glass in our bathroom shower. I think most of you probably saw it on IG, but it's so nice being able to use our shower

Pizzaslut that sounds like our house. I talked to A’s doctor and we started giving her .5mg of melatonin at night. OMFG, I cannot tell you how much that has changed our lives. Bedtime has gone from 3 hours to less than 30 minutes. I still have to cuddle with her, but that’s fine with me. I recommend checking it out. Zarbees has a 1 mg one for kids and I just cut it in half. The doc said she can have the full one if needed, but the .5 has been fine for us.

I’m here. Just busy. I have overbooked us this spring with activities. Also being president of moms club and on the advisory council for the Early childhood program has left me feeling very overwhelmed.

Pizzaslut, omg kids that don't sleep are the worst (says the mom with a 4 year old that doesn't sleep). I have never thought of melatonin for her. hmmmmmm, maybe a call into the pediatrician is required. The only advice i have is don't give in to him wanting to sleep anywhere besides his bed. DON'T DO IT. Stick to your guns. I know it's hard, especially being pregnant. Hang in there my friend.

Yep! That is the plan. We won't be able to stay all day because of my stupid boobs. I'm bringing my hand pump so hopefully that will help.

Well I do try this. But hours every night gets really really exhausting. Even when H and I trade off, I can still hear him crying. Last night, I laid in bed with him and he just stared up at the ceiling and at me for over an hour.

Pizzaslut, i get it, trust me i do. when i was pregnant with C - i ended up on the couch most nights with A. This started a pattern of her not sleeping in her bed that is still a struggle 3 years later. C only comes into our bed after 5am in the morning. stay strong! do not follow in my footsteps.
