Mysteriously now I can get by on much, much less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399487 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:18:10 +0000 Ash 399487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! I get up every so often to let our dog out in the middle of the night and then I can't function ALL day because of my disrupted sleep. Oh myyyyy! How will I be when I have a LO?!</p> <p>p.s. @char54: At first, I thought the subject said "You All Deserve a Round of Applesauce".... and I love applesauce! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399459 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:11:28 +0000 T-Mom 399459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I have a permanent pony tail as well, and that is my least favorite hairstyle on me too!<br /> @winniebee: I put my makeup on at work too, at my desk and have learned to do it in like one minute haha. Consequently it doesn't look very good but it looks way better than without.</p> <p>After reading what I just wrote, I feel very sad. This is not ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399414 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:58:25 +0000 Lozza 399414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: LO is 19 months old and I just started wearing makeup again approximately 2 months ago :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399338 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:34:10 +0000 ValentineMommy 399338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm already dreading coming back to work after "maternity leave" and I haven't even left yet. I so wish there was a way we could afford for me to stay at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399324 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:30:02 +0000 winniebee 399324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: yah i was so much more rested while on maternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399283 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:14:08 +0000 rachiecakes 399283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hope you feel better - hate feeling like that at work :( </p> <p>&amp; thank you! no one ever says that, hehe.. my mother was a SAHM and she's always giving me the "OH I KNOW how tired you are" and I'm thinking, no you don't! you got to wear your pjs all day and not shower if you wanted to, hahaha</p> <p>funny thing - now that DS is sleeping (mostly) through the night, I'm still waking up to check on him! Someday we'll all sleep again, I'm sure ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399282 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:13:44 +0000 winniebee 399282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krsmall: @Thehistoryofus: I now put makeup on in the bathroom at work in the morning. I'm wondering when I'll just ditch makeup altogether! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399279 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:11:43 +0000 doodlepoodle 399279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, thanks! ;) I can't say it's fun, but more survival mode? My coworkers and I joke that it's "sink or swim". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399276 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:09:23 +0000 littlek 399276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I gave up on my hair a month ago. I'm hoping with my new job I will get motivated again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399273 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:08:43 +0000 littlek 399273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, it will get better! It definitely gets better when LO sleeps through the night, if only I can get my DH to stop working till 2 or 3 a.m. It's been killer lately on me the next day at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399272 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:08:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 399272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you feel better. </p> <p>You do get used to it with a newborn! Even now, I look back and wonder how I operated at work after waking up 2 times a night for feedings. Now I am "tired" if I get less than 7 hours! </p> <p>That being said, my hair has been in a pony tail every day for work since my daughter was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399265 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:06:42 +0000 chopsuey 399265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously. Don't know how working moms do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399258 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:05:21 +0000 prettylizy 399258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here here!!!! I'm and constatnly awestruck by all the USA mamas who are back to work so soon, and still manage to pump, nurse, function and keep a house going. Kudos to you all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399245 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:01:14 +0000 winniebee 399245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you feel better!</p> <p>I'm a working mama and I don't feel awesome....I just feel like a zombie, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-all-deserve-a-round-of-applause#post-399198 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:49:36 +0000 Charm54 399198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All you working mamas out there (especially the ones that have to go back to work after just a few months!) - I am in awe, seriously. I was up all last night with terrible period cramps and ibs (the 'perfect storm' as I like to call it) . I am DEAD today at work. Like can't-keep-my-eyes-open-or-think-about-anything dead. I don't know how you do it day in, day out on such little sleep. Hopefully I'll find out soon (!), but until then I will continue to marvel at just how AWESOME you all are! </p>
