WHY am I up?

Yup, I got woke up this morning at 3:30 by the baby. It's 5:45 now. WHY am I still up? Because every time I try to go back to sleep, he screams, I try to do something, he screams. If I do anything, he screams. He doesn't have a fever, no rashes, fed him, gave him a drink, and still not happy. Then, I turn on a movie. He shuts up. So why can't I go to sleep? Because my day is about to start. I have repairmen coming over, packages being dropped off, housework to do. And laundry, gawd, tons of laundry. And at this moment, I don't want to do any of it. I want to sleep. Yeah, right.....

Still waiting for the coffee to kick in, and I got my ss card sent of to my financial aid manager at school. I go to orientation next week and couldn't be more excited. I know that the workload is going to be huge, but in the end, it will be worth it. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do it all, since my husband seems to think that I'm super mom. What a load of bull honky. I just hurry and get everything done absolute by the time he gets home on Fridays. Or he says that I'm sitting on my butt watching soaps and eating bon bons. Shoot, I hate bon bons and I hate soaps. I'm actually folding laundry, playing with the baby, playing with the dogs, cleaning the living room for the millionth time, and making sure that everyone gets fed in a timely manner.

I would honestly love to see my husband do everything I do in a span of a day and see how he does. I don't think he would survive.

5 am and baby is awake

Been trying to get the household into a routine so that when school starts, I know where I can fit in studying. Was going the way that I wanted it to for 2 nights and then BAM! Tonight, the baby decides he wants to wake super early and eat. But throws a fit at everything I gave him. Mind you, he asked for them, then decided not good enough. Pretty quickly, it got to a point I wanted to choke him before telling him to keep his butt in bed or i'm going to eat him. I don't know how long that threat is going to work as he gets older, but for now, it seems to work ok.

I know that he misses Daddy, and boy, I miss him too! He's gone 5-6 days a week trucking, so I'm a single mom throughout those days. Then add on top of cleaning house, baby's therapies, cooking, laundry, diapers, trash, bills......this is one tired mommy! I do it everyday, maybe not always with a smile on my face, but I do it. I got it timed to where so far, I can do schoolwork while baby is asleep, but if he doesn't take a nap? Well, then I have to wait until he's in bed for the night. But.........then there are nights like tonight. Where he only sleeps 6 hours. Then he's up for the day.........so still have to work on the scheduling........big time.

Ok....baby is awake as I write this, the "I'm going to eat you" threat isn't going to work with this little man at the moment. He's up and raring to play and in general be a pest instead of a sleeping angel. How in the world did he grow up so fast and at that, learning to hit mommy's button? Mystery of the day! Guess I will end this in I'm going to go make a baby go to bed. It's night night time for this mommy!
