The 24/7 Mom

*looking over at Pato* His day off.  He is the hardest person to wake up.  I told him if something happened to me he’d be  screwed.  He cannot get up without someone standing over him yelling his name for like 15 minutes – and even then, you can’t walk away or he’ll go back to sleep.  HUGE pet peeve of mine.

I’m the type, the alarm goes off, the baby cries, one of the kids say my name, I am up out of that bed likes a shot.  It’s bad though, the littlest noises wake me up and I have trouble going back to sleep.  A happy medium would be nice.

This morning I was up way before the alarm went off because Christiano was begging to be fed.  At 6:30 the alarm goes off.  I went in and asked him to get up.  After about 10 minutes he gets up.  I said, can you get the kids clothes (this is while I’m nursing, standing at the foot of the bed.) and get them in the shower.  He comes out here to look through a laundry basket of clothes that need put away, I turn my back, he went back to bed.  The kids weren’t up.  I went back in, still with a baby attached to me, 7:00 he finally gets up.  Kat doesn’t get a shower.  Jordan got to take the bus because he wasn’t even close to ready when Pato had to leave with Kat. 

Pato gets back home, goes BACK to bed.  Now mind you, he slept from 2 until 7 at this point.  I went to bed at 1 and got up every 20-30 minutes with a baby that would not stay asleep.  Thought I was going to pass out for a bit.  10:45 rolls around, I go in and say, can you go get Kat from school.  Christian was ready to eat again.  He nods yes.  I stood there until 11 trying to get him out of bed.  He finally does, comes out to the couch, sits down, lays his head against the back, GOES TO SLEEP.  Wouldn’t get up to get Kat until 11:15.  So flipping frustrating.  This is what happens every day when he has to get up.  Even for work.  The alarm goes off, and goes off, and off some more.  I can let it go on for 20 minutes and he’ll sleep right through it.  I’d let him suffer the consequences of his own not getting out of bed (feels like I’m talking about one of my own kids.) but they have a rule at work, if you’re late you get suspended for 15 days.  They got tired of the guys showing up 20-30 minutes late.  Then I have to go in and do everything short of pouring water on his head to get him up.

I don’t understand it.  The baby can be laying in his arms crying, right by his head, (this doesn’t happen at night, believe me, he’s too heavy of a sleeper for me to think about letting him do that when I’m not awake.) he won’t even notice.  Sleeps right through it.  The kids can be literally jumping on him.  He’ll yell at them to stop it, go right back to sleep.  Must be nice to behave like a teenager on summer vacation when it comes to sleep.  Really makes me mad – could be cuz I’m a tad bit jealous that someone is getting WAY more sleep than I do, or because I have to be the one counted on to get up with crying kids – hungry, nightmares, sick, he wouldn’t hear them if they came to him.  They all know to come to mommy when they need something at night.

Does my lack of sleep make me crave sugar?  Not just sugar, chocolate brownies.  I would live on them if I could.  When I was pregnant I was craving salty things, now it is chocolate brownies.  Combo of being tired and nursing that makes me want them so bad?  An appetite suppressant wouldn’t help.  I’m not hungry.  Just want chocolate.  I need help.  LOL

Alyce has been talking up a storm lately.  3 months ago she barely said a word.  Now she’s talking in long sentences.  I told her not to rock the bouncy the other day.  She said, "I wanna a-rock the baby.  Chrishan (to Christian as she leans on the bouncy.), I rocka you."  (Everything has an a or an uh in front of it.  LOL)

I told Katiana to turn off the TV and pick up the living room.  Kat didn’t.  I told Alyce.  Kat told her no!  Alyce said, "No, mama a-say a-turn-a off the tv.  I turn-a off."

She’s awfully cute let me tell you.  Except when she’s screaming bloody murder cuz she doesn’t get her way.

Alright, I think I have 2 diapers that need changing, the little one’s doesn’t smell so pleasant and the big one just got up – it’s hanging to her knees.  LOL

Have a great day!
