I have been feeling so burnt out lately. I have been the main babysitter of my niece this past week and we acquired a new puppy. So between two toddlers and a puppy, I have had my hands full. Like I have wanted to pull my hair out, run away, cry myself to sleep, etc etc. You parents know how it is. These kids get crazy and needy and loud and you go insane. That has been me. A big ball of crazy. I have yelled at my fiancé more times than I can count because he had been working doubles and got a break from these kids. That is how horrible they have been; working a double equals a break. Lol
I have to say I have been pretty proud of myself and getting Raylan on a better schedule. I wasn't too worried about schedules when he was younger because he barely ate, so he could eat whenever he want and sleep whenever he want as long as he ate and slept. Know what I mean? But with his occupational therapist coming on Wednesdays really early in the morning, it was getting too hard for us to stay as we were.
Previously he would wake up at 10 or 11, take one nap at 4, and go to bed at 11. Horrible schedule, I know. But it is what he taught himself and we allowed. We are night people. We would rather stay up late than wake up early. But he has his therapy at 9 am on Wednesdays and he would hate being woken up at 8. He would get so cranky. It would disrupt the therapy. So I put my foot down.
Now he is up by 9 every morning, takes a nap between 12 or 1, and falls asleep by 10. Still not great but so much better. I do wake him up at 8 on therapy days but he is happier about it. The time is killing me though. Like I'm a zombie by 4 (which is about now) and I go to bed when he does. Which I hate because I want some me time! I want to lay in bed and watch Parenthood or to read or play on my new 2DS. But I'm so exhausted. I know I'll get used to it but still.
Whew!
Other than that, we have been good. He had such a great Easter you guys! He made out like a banshee and spent all day outside playing. We visited family and had a cookout and had two Easter egg hunts. It was amazing. I hope everyone had a great time too! Let me know. What did you do?
My birthday was this past Saturday (day before Easter), so I'll have a post up about my spoils soon! Have a great day!
