The Blame Game (or why I’m so tired)
Posted by Alli on June 15, 2009
If you had talked to me on Saturday and asked how I was, I probably would have told you I was tired. And if you were aware that I had an almost four month old, you might have given me an understanding head nod and try to blame it on Tebow. Except, on Saturday, I would have told you I can’t blame Tebow because he has been sleeping great at night, only waking once to eat and then go right back to bed.
On Saturday I would have blamed myself for my tiredness, staying up too late watching T.V. and attending twitter parties.
But Saturday night was rough. Sunday morning I had my own meltdown that was cured by taking a two hour nap (and turning off the baby monitor while Damon took over). Then something happened and Tebow decided he didn’t really want to nap anymore. Or if he did, it was only in my arms, not in his snug bed. Once it is night, usually past 9 p.m., he sleeps well until 2 ish. But during the day… I never knew I could be exhausted because a baby didn’t nap. I can wear him and he will sleep, but I do have my limits. I can’t wear him in the kitchen (too much remodeling, too dangerous) and he doesn’t really like it when I sit while he is being worn.
So, now, I’m back to blaming Tebow for my exhaustion. I know I’m partially to blame (I’m writing this at 11 p.m!) but until Tebow gets back into napping well (and I know my positive thinking will help him, right?) I’m going to say it’s his fault. And try to get to bed earlier tomorrow night.
