I love being a mom and all... but sometimes I think the dads have got it pretty good. They get to leave. I live at my job and do a little extra work on the side. I feel like I never get to leave the house, and when I do it's like I'm going on vacation with all the stuff I have to pack.
Okay really I'm just feeling complainy because Jared is off playing at Glamis while I got left behind to take care of Wyatt. Jared really wanted me to go, but camping in a tent with a 7 month old baby that has a skin condition is not my idea of fun... and isn't really practical. Especially since I would pretty much be taking care of him 100% of the time out there without all of the amenities of being in a house. NO thank you. He wouldn't have a bath to soak in every night, he wouldn't have a climate controlled room to sleep in with a humidifier to make sure it didn't get too dry. He wouldn't have his sound machine or his nice bed. I'm sure we'll take him camping one day, but right now he's still too much of a baby.
It didn't really help that while I was talking to Jared tonight and he was telling me about how much fun he was having, there was a baby SCREAMING 10 feet away from me. I don't know what Wyatts deal is but he is just not having a good night. He cried through his whole bath. No. He screamed through his whole bath. And the whole time I aquaphor'd him. And then I picked him up to try and soothe him and he puked all over his self, me, the rocking chair, and the carpet.
So now I'm doing a load of laundry that I wasn't planning on and praying that he doesn't wake up again.
Please sleep baby, mommy needs a break!
Yes, daddies do get a break a lot easier. I pray you will get one soon too.
ReplyDeleteI am loving that you made aquaphor into a verb! Putting on lotion everyday sure does become annoying that is for sure, just the whole process of it all. It is so interesting to read from a parents point of view :)
