Friday Leftovers
- Does anyone else have a kid that's obsessed with Dora? Some days the begging for "Do Do Doo-rah" starts as soon as breakfast is over. The random "swipah no swiping" throughout the day is kind of funny though.
- At playgroup this week, a lady came over to check out Presley in her car seat. She commented on what a beautiful baby she was (TOTALLY true!). Then, she said, "it IS a girl, right?" Right...despite the red dress and the pink car seat cover, it's really a boy and I'm trying to trick everyone.
- When I went for my run this week, my knee started hurting. So I did what any smart person would do. I pushed through until I couldn't run anymore. Then I walked until it stopped hurting. Then resumed running. I repeated until my knee was so sore that I could hardly make it down the stairs all week. Nice work, hey?!
- I really need to work on eating meals slower. I feel so pressed for time that I inhale my meals without tasting a single thing or realizing when I should be full. I've eaten, cleaned up my dishes and am almost on the 2nd side of feeding Presley before the rest of the family is thinking about finishing. GROSS.
- We had 2 month vaccines this week. It wasn't fun but not nearly as bad as living through it the first time with Samara.
- I had a meltdown yesterday. It wasn't pretty. Being a mom is HARD. I thought I knew what I was in for having done the newborn thing already and yet I feel completely unprepared for how difficult it can be at times. As a reward for making me almost lose my mind yesterday, Presley slept from 745pm until 345am and then 415am until 9am. Now if I could cure my *momsomnia, I'd be golden!
- Momsomnia - the inability to sleep even when your children FINALLY are. Symptoms include extreme fatigue every waking moment of the day when your kid(s) are awake and needing you followed by extreme energy the second they go to sleep. Other symptoms can include any or all of the following: tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling for hours on end, glaring at your husband for sleeping peacefully, getting thirsty at odd hours of the night, having to go to the bathroom at random times of the night and falling asleep seconds before your kid(s) wake up.

"swipah no swiping" - HAHAHAHA
I want your kid.
hahaha "glaring at your husband for sleeping peacfully". I can't wait to have kids.
You could feel lucky you do not have twin boys who are teething and have colds and their father has been away for a month.I don t think that will help much but you could try the imagine.these types of suggestions don t do many any good so it is highloy unlikely it will help you.
Yup mummie brain
Don't even get me started on Do-do-do-do-do-Dora. Roo is OBSESSED and counts in Spanish more often than English now, started calling my mom her "Abuela" and says "Swiper that Neaky Fox" randomly throughout the day. She also loves to clap and say, "where are we going?" and then when she does anything, "we did it, we did it, we did it, hooray!"
Yeah...I think I've created a monster.
Oh momsonmia - I've got it SO bad!!!!
Momsomnia. I still have it and my baby is five. Just get used it. It's the only way to survive.
Stopping in from Danifred's FNL and I got such a laugh out of the "she is a girl, right?" comment. My son, now 5, would be dressed in something very boyish and it never failed that some kind soul would say, "what a beautiful baby girl you have!" and I'd just have to reply, "thanks, we think he's a keeper too."
So there's a name for it: "Momsomnia!" I haven't had little ones for many years, but it happened twice this last week. Not complaining, because I had five good nights...:) Ok, yes I am complaining, but at least I have a name for it.
I love the phrase Momsomnia and I totally have it. I will be on the couch ready to fall over and sleep and the second the kids go to bed, *wham* I have boundless energy.
"Swiper no swiping" is a phrase commonly heard in our home too! Dora is infiltrating our homes!!!
I find myself eating like that this week too. Actually lately ...before Sydney was here I was just antsy and couldn't sit. Ed gives me the eye like, "Really, you can't sit here with us?" haha!
Henry loves Dora...we took a break for a bit but he has been asking again.
So far I am falling right asleep when I get the chance. Hope I don't get that momsomnia that youa re talking about!
Feels good to catch up with you!
