As if I weren't tired enough
I'm kind of amazed that anyone ever makes it through parenthood. While I'd never change the decision, it's nights like this where it's 2:45am and you've just finished a middle of the night feeding/change and can't get back to sleep that really put you to the test. I have to be up for work at 6:30am, and am watching the minutes tick by one after another. All this, and I can't really be sure that if I do get back to sleep that my daughter will remain asleep. She had her 1 year doctor's appointment 1 week ago and is still recovering from 5 shots. I feel badly that I can't do more for her (I stayed out of work Friday to care for her) and spent this weekend caring for her, replacing carpet in one of our rooms, and swapping the furniture between 2 rooms in our home (all in preparation to put our house on the market). To say that I'm running on empty here is definitely a fair statement. It's pretty bad when it's early Monday morning and you're already exhausted, hell the week's just technically begun. On top of that, on Friday I go "on call" at work which means that for a week, if anything is needed at work, regardless of the time, I have to go in. So, even the thought of a weekend in 5 days isn't a relief, as I'll likely be up before the birds both "days off". *sigh* Oh well, I guess I'll try to sleep now.
