My day started with spit up all over me and my nightgown - #momlifecansucksometimes
Hello everyone,
Today is Tuesday and it started bad and I think it set the mood for the rest of my day. I know that my hormones are out of whack because my mood swings and other physical disturbances are too obvious to be ignored. And last but not least - our little one, after having gulped his bottle (because he was screaming as though he was hungry) spit it all up and it went everywhere: myself, my nightgown, the chaise, his clothes and two burp cloths... From that moment, I just knew that my day would be a little more chaotic.
So, yeah, today - NOT A GOOD DAY!
Regardless, I hope and pray that when you read this post you are healthy and keeping safe. I know that the restrictions have been eased but we still need to be careful and stop the spread of this vicious virus. Just because restrictions have been lifted, it does not mean that the virus is gone, it only means that there is place for you in the ICU.
Most if not all Moms have bad days - last summer, for example, with our one year and newborn, my summer was AWFUL. I had no help and it was rough. I spent most days in my pajamas and crying. Our one year old was teething and they popped up all at the same time. She was so miserable. And our newborn was crying a lot because our oldest was crying in pain and annoyance of this new little baby.
But there are days that you know, without a doubt, will be a really bad day. Today is one of those days. All I want is to crumple up in bed and listen to my audiobook (If She Knew by Blake Pierce - free on Google Books - no, this is NOT sponsored) and eat chocolate, french fries and lots of ice cream...and I mean, lots!!
I am attempting to still have a productive day and make the best of it. I have not assigned any tasks to my list, as I usually do. But, I have already worked out and gone for a walk. I have had breakfast and am working on my second, but already cold, cup of coffee. I also fed our little one - NO SPIT UPS - and will now pray and journal... I also need to calm my nerves.
Clearly, tonight, once all kids are down, I will go to sleep - I am so tired and not at all rested.
How do you know it will be a bad day? Do you feel it or does something happen and you just know? If you are having a bad day - I am sorry. I know it will get better, not sure when, but after a bad day, something good comes along. For me, it will be getting into my bed tonight and, hopefully, sleeping well. My husband goes back to work tomorrow and I will take over night feedings - not that I don't wake up when I hear the baby cry...
Remember to wash your hands, don't touch your face and do your part to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
