Overwhelmed

Ever have days where you're completely overwhelmed? Of course you have. You're only human. (Unless you're not! Dundundun!)

This was Thursday for me.

Now, I didn't sleep poorly, but I was soooo tired. I was exhausted the whole day and didn't get any work done (aside from baby watching).

Part of my problem? I can't nap. I'll try. But I will lay in bed, wide awake, but completely exhausted for the full 45 or so minutes that Harrison will nap in his crib. Then I drag myself out when the babe wakes and play with/feed/change him.

I usually sleep fairly well at night, but we'll occasionally have nights where he wakes up 5 times. Like last night. We changed his schedule to go to a friends house. We left early, Harrison slept in the car on the way back, we woke him, fed him and got him all cozy for bed. 10:00, wide awake. Took some coaxing to go to sleep. Then he woke crying at 11:30 and every 1-2 hours after. He mostly put himself back to sleep or just needed his paci, but I still woke up every time and was up to feed him at 5:00.

Now for a day of baby time and sewing! I love being home with Harrison, even when I get so tired I can't think straight.

Also, Harrison loves my camera phone.
