Is it over yet??????

This weekend was Dan's 3 day working weekend. Every other week when I have 3 days in a row of long 12 hour days by myself I pray that things will go smoothly....that time will pass quickly. This weekend was not a good one, things have not been smooth. I am so so tired. I slept about 3 1/2 hours last night and my eyeballs feel like they are going to fall out. Charlotte has been super cranky, she has a runny nose which isn't horrible, but it isn't fun. She hasn't been napping more than 30 minutes at a time (teething maybe?), and she hasn't pooped for days. Maddie has been her normal Maddie self but my patience is running thin trying to deal with Charlotte and I find myself snapping at her for things I wouldn't normally snap at.

Yesterday I was trying to put the baby to bed, I was rocking her and feeding her a bottle and Maddie kept coming over and saying "hi da-yee," and "baby char-let." I kept asking her to go and watch Max and Ruby (cartoons used to distract her while I put Charlotte to bed) but she kept coming over which is really distracting to the baby which makes it harder for me to put her to sleep which makes the whole process take longer which isn't good for anyone involved. Well, Maddie then starts bringing baby toys (rattles and small stuffed animals) over and says "baby toys for char-let." and piles them on top of the baby. I was starting to get mad because it was getting later and later and Charlotte was getting crankier and crankier since she was already supposed to be in bed. Maddie was making it all so much harder, but I was also mad at myself for being mad becuase she was just trying to be helpful. She was being a good girl and sharing toys with her sister and she didn't understand that I was trying to get the baby down so that I could then give her my undivided attention. It's hard being 2.....and apparently its hard being 28 as well! lol

I hate these 3 day weekends when Dan works, but I LOVE the 3 day weekends that he has off. Are the hard weekends worth the easy weekends? I don't know.....I guess when I'm knee deep in the hard, I would say no, but when I'm rested and helped during the weekends he has off, I would say yes. I'm tired of the whining/fussing/crying, I'm tired of the not napping & not pooping, I'm tired of constantly having to be "on" I'm tired of only having 20 minutes to myself in a 12 hour period. I guess I'm just tired. Today, after the weekend I've had, I don'twant this job anymore......anyone know where I can hand in my resignation? bwa-ha-ha-haaaa. lol I'm kidding, I couldn't quit these precious little ones.....I just need for the weekend to be over. Yay for 5 days off this week!
