Why are you tired today?

By mrs. wagon Apr 30, 2014

Usually if I'm tired during the day, it's because one or both of the kids had a rough night of sleep. But not today... today it's all the adults' fault!!

I stayed up late putting together a photo calendar for the grandmas for Mother's Day (I swear it sneaks up on me every single year!!). It took so long and I was all amped up when I went to bed, so I didn't really fall asleep until past midnight. Then I was jolted awake at 4am... I heard a noise, and now that we live in the middle of nowhere, I had to investigate what it was. I debating waking up Wagon Sr. to go see what it was, then decided against it, then realized he wasn't even in the bed next to me... he had gotten up early to study for his exam and I guess him moving around downstairs woke me up! Luckily I was able to go back to sleep, but now I feel like a zombie!

Oh, and I just picked up my coffee mug and realized I've been too busy all morning so I never finished my cup. Chugging my cold coffee now

For starters, the last few weeks at work have been all *heavy lifting* all the time, with multiple conflicting deadlines. I just can't seem to push through today (which is why I have wasted way too much time on HB today!) . . . !

Yep! R hasn't slept good the last two nights (not sure if teething or cause of her busted lip) but she wakes me up and then I can't get back to sleep.

I'm tired because we're all sick, LO was up for an hour and a half screaming in the middle of the night and I'm trying to get everything organized for an international relocation. I want to run away to a tropical island and nap on the beach today.

I'm tired because my 4 week old is a cluster-feeding maniac! she actually had a really great stretch of sleep from 2:30am-6:30am, but the first half of the night and evening before were crazy-pants.

I have a cold and LO has double ear infection and a cold with a really bad cough, so we were both up a lot of the night. I'm starting to really worry that I'll never feel rested ever again

@Chillybear: right there with you and my 6 month old. Goes to sleep but now is waking multiple times a night... and it's not a happy wake up either.

Yawn.

@mrs. wagon: not too tired, but side note: GREAT idea for a gift!! I need to do that for my family. Which service? Or did you DIY?

And I am sick, again, so two nights ago I was up blowing my nose all night

This is a bit of a twist on "because my baby kept waking up"...I'm tired because my dog kept waking up! She's old and blind and has some dementia and she wakes up and starts wandering multiple times a night. So I'm up every hour or so to take her out, carry to her to water dish, corral her back to her bed...etc. I told DH this morning, "I just want to sleep through the night! And we don't even have kids yet!"

We're cleaning up/fixing the house to get it ready to put on the market, so I came home yesterday and threw a roast in the oven, then got to lugging the vacuum all over the house. We've been at this cleanup thing for two months now and I'm so over it. We've had no spare moment to ourselves.

Finally crashed at 11:30 and E woke up at 1am (unusual for her). Then I woke up at 6:30 for work

@hellobeeboston: I use costco photo center every year! their premium calendar is nice and big and we always get our prints there so I know the photo quality is good. They don't have a ton of selection for backgrounds (or cute ones...) but I like to stay consistent. Every year I do a themed page for each month.. beach pictures for August, all pictures of each kid for their birth month, last year's halloween costumes for October, etc. It makes putting it together fun, but exhausting!! So many pictures to go through.

Every year I pick a photo to go on the front and print "Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!" under it. That way I can make one calendar but order two copies, and both grandmas are taken care of! Then we just have to send flowers.

DH and I had this grand plan to go to bed by 9 last night. At 8:58 we were in bed. I was reading and he was watching LSU baseball. Ten minutes later he got a call and had to go into work. Someone had crashed a fork truck into a conveyor belt and that caused three machines to go down. He went back to work and didn't get home until 2:30. I slept about an hour and a half during that time because I was worried about him driving home. He came home with whataburger so we ate and chatted about his evening and then went to sleep at 3:30.

So I'm tired!

My first experience with a night terror has to be the first night my husband goes back to work in 8 months and I am alone. So my husband walks in at 1am and finds me and the twins awake watching TV waiting for him. Not my best work.

I'm tired because I got up at 5:15am to go to the gym. Amazing this has *nothing* to do with being a mom - LO was fast asleep!

I'm tired because the weather sucks. Because I should have gone to bed earlier. Because the cat woke me up at 4am.

DS has discovered he can flip his light switch on when he stands in his crib. He did this multiple times last night. He is teething and in pain and thinks light on = mom and dad come in. The last wake up was at 430 where he fell asleep with his light on (2nd day in a row) so I stayed up until he was out so I could go in and turn it off.

I am having a ton of GI issues too so I feel like crap. I need to rearrange his room today but I have no motivation.

Ok I am done whining

I have a sinus infection with a mad phlemgy cough. DS is teething his top two teeth and apparently in the throws of his 9 month sleep regression so frequent wake ups that include a circus of him rolling around and getting up on all fours while half asleep

I'm tired every day, because I get up to pee like 4-5x per night. I haven't had a solid night of sleep in... heaven knows. I really need to go back to the urologist, but don't have time for that.

@snowjewelz: @winniebee: THIS. I'm only 4w2d, but both times I've been pregnant it's one of my earliest symptoms. I'm exhausted all the time and going to bed SO EARLY.

@littlebit: ALMOST TIME!!!!

So.many.reasons! We ordered a platform bedframe because we got a new mattress that requires one and it finally came... and the headboard was 5 inches shorter than the footboard. Yeah. We were up late washing the new bedding and then I had to deal with a mattress nearly on the floor kind of a backbreaker with lo up and down in the night.
