Momma said there'd be days like this......

Let me just start this off with saying I'm about to pull my hair out!! You know, you get your baby and yourself through the sleepless nights stage and you think "it's all good now!" WRONG!! Even though my children are only 26 months apart, I have forgotten about all the stages they go through. And the two stages we're in right now....teething and crawling! On Monday morning, I hear Hayden wake up (his usual time which is about 6:45) and does he come to my room? Nope, he goes in to his brothers room and I hear "wake up you little stinker bug." What? Please tell me he didn't just do what I think he did. Oh yes, both boys awake before the 7 o'clock hour. About 9:00 I got Carson down for his nap. A 30 minute nap. Wow Carson, you must feel so rested! So, we make it to the afternoon nap and Hayden's down and it's Carson's turn to go down for a long nap. Well, he fights me for about an hour and finally gives up. I lay him down and go to the couch for my afternoon nap (that just kills me if I don't have) and right about the time I dose off, I hear Hayden say "wake up Momma, I need a snack." As I stumble to the kitchen, I hear Hayden go to Carson's room. I felt like I was running in slow motion (which is really the way I look anyways). I get to Carson's door and he's screaming. So, I pick him up and start rocking him and tell Hayden to go to the living room to play. I almost have Carson asleep again when I hear Hayden go out the front door!! I lay Carson down in his crib (screaming now) and run out to get him. I give him the talk about someone stealing him from us etc and give him goldfish, turn Dora on and tell him to stay on the couch. Start rocking Carson again.....and out the front door Hayden goes again!! He had two popsicles and was going outside to eat them. Now the wooden spoon comes out and I go back to rocking Carson again. I get him to sleep and right as I'm laying him down I hear "Andrea...Andrea??" My neighbor Sarah found Hayden in the front yard again!! When she yelled my name, guess who woke up? I give up at this point and Hayden goes to time out, with a spanking, for what felt like 30 minutes. I was so mad!! Day two...today! Hayden goes down for his nap and who decides to fight me from 1:15 until 3:45?? Carson Jones Noe!! He gets to sleep and my MS chronic fatigue feeling is in full effect at this point. I lay on the couch and hear "Momma, I need a snack." Oh my gosh!!!!! Luckily Carson slept for two hours and I needed that break from him. He's into everything and I have just completely forgotten what this "stage" feels like. Is it worse to have a baby who just lays there but wakes up through the night or one that sleeps all night but during the day cries b/c his gums hurt and you have to pull them out from under the table every 2.5 seconds? I always think back to Angie's blog when she wrote about that song "You're Gonna Miss This" and I try to tell myself that very thing and then I start thinking....really? I'm gonna miss this?? Ha,ha!! Hope you all are having a better start to your week than we are in the Noe house!
