On the Front lines…Parent Style…

Daily Picture: This says it all…

Today was one of those days that seemed to be a losing battle on every front.  Last week the wife was gone Monday thru Thursday, then she was home Friday thru Monday.  With these two changes our schedules were all messed up.  I thought for sure that the baby would be having a ton of issues yesterday once the wife went back to work.  Nope that was left for today.  He would not nap, was difficult to settle and wanted to be held then put down then held…  By the time we left for swim team I was going a bit crazy.  It would not have been too bad if the 3yo had not decided to add his crankiness to the mix.  All day fighting me every step of the way and even waking a cranky baby…

So as I type this I am spent and need to go veg for a while.  Too much thinking is tough on my brain right now…

  1. You are not alone exhausted dad.

    Does every day feel like a struggle to you? It does to me (at least usually) I love being with my kids so much, but at the end of the day I feel like a pan seared piece of beef. Burnt on the outside, but mushy an raw on the inside…yuck.

    Hope tomorrow is a better day!

    Peace,

  2. I feel your pain… our youngest (4 months) is currently going though a stage where she has not wanted to sleep during the day and will only sleep at night if we are holding her (at least after a initial time sleeping on her own)….and trying to get our 3.5 year old to keep it down and let her sister sleep is usually not in the cards…ah the fun life of being a parent at times, right?

    BTW - would you mind adding me to the blog roll?
