The Experiment
For best results follow all directions first thing in the morning.Materials;
Just yourself and some coffee
Directions;
1. Get down in the floor and do push-ups until your arms are burning (1-100+)Depending on your physical endurance.
( At this point your arms should feel like spaghetti noodles and it should hurt to pick anything up.If not go back and repeat step 1)
2.Spin around the room like a five year old, until you can no longer focus and you have that stumbling drunk walk. Then grab your coffee and come back...
3. You should now have coffee spilled all over you and the floor, and be repeatedly blinking trying to focus to read this.
Now, close your eyes and imagine you have been up all night with a cranky baby, who refused to sleep more than a consecutive hour.
Results: This is how I feel this morning!
Now, I will leave with your agenda for the day. Have a nice day!
No need to do all that, I remember well how you feel. So sorry. I know it doesn't really help to say how worth it it all is, so I won't. You know already. And it doesn't give you back your energy! I remember crying all the time from lack of sleep. I'm thinking, though, it's the weekend and maybe your hubby is off and can let you nap????
ReplyDeletePoor Neener,
ReplyDeleteNice way to promote birth control ;)
I have a 4 month old and totally understand. He cried for 4 1/2 hours straight yesterday morning, after sleeping less than 3 hours the night before. It not only left me dizzy, but daydreaming about a coffe I.V. as well. Sometimes what saves my sanity is looking at my six year old and reminding myself that every moment is precious (good and bad) because in the blink of an eye they grow up.
ReplyDeleteOh Johnina....I am so sorry! I wish I could hug you, or at least help! I know how it is to be like that and then have to continue a full day like that without help!!! Hope you get the chance to nap!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better!hope the little one will sleep for ya tonight, So you can get your rest that you need. Its not always easy being a mommy I know how you are feeling, My heart goes out to you girl!
ReplyDeleteIf we lived closer I would take your little ones for the day for a play-date So you could get some Rest & Relaxation that would make you feel so much better!
Hugs to you!
Ok so now you have some coffee...shhhhh don't let anyone see you, put in a little
ReplyDeleteliqueur ....ahhhhhh your day will be just fine!
Oh, the hangover feeling without the fun drunk night before. The worst is when you stumble to get said crying baby from bed and stub your toe on the door jam. Now the drunk walk turns into the drunk hop. No fun.
ReplyDeleteHopefully tonight would be better! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteheck woman I wish I could come up with something so funny to leave on my blog LOL. I so know how you feel though after the twinlets decided that sleeping was for suckers last night.
ReplyDeleteThere must have been something about last night because 2 of my three babies decided that sleep was not a good thing and my 3 year old decided that he needed to be up twice to go the bathroom. Here's hoping tomorrow is better
ReplyDeleteahhhh so glad we are past that point!
ReplyDeleteOH! Wow! How awful!
ReplyDeleteAnd, to think I had grabbed my coffee, and had spun around and spilled it on the floor just for you!
Ah, yes, I know this feeling well. There were some days when the twins were newborns that I couldn't drive because I was so tired.
ReplyDeleteYou hang in there, momma!!!
Better yet- slip the kid some liqueur and take a nap!
ReplyDelete(totally only kidding- I would never do that!)
Okay, so I threw up at the spinning...and I have a sympathy headache for you. Hope cranky baby decides to give you a break!
ReplyDeleteOHHH I hope your day went better and you did get some rest!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I have to get up at 3 to leave for work at 3:30am. I don't get to go to bed until 10:00pm and I have a baby who doesn't sleep through the night. I forgot that sleep acctually exists.
ReplyDeleteOkay, but can I skip the push up part? That sounds like too much work that early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteyour poor thing! We have those days every once and ahwile around here but I think we are almost past all that! I hope things get better for you!
ReplyDeleteJohnina - are our children twins? I was up all night with a 6 year old barfing all over the place, a whining dog, my baby was crying for me to come back and sleep with her. I slept from 12:30 - 2. At 4 am - I just go tup - at that point, there was no point. My brain is swishy in my head today!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Sweetie. I am so sorry you had such rough night. I remember those nights so well. I wish I was close enough to help. Hope you feel better
ReplyDeleteBEEN THERE!! No desire to go back. But glad I did. My heart goes out to you. So Lord, please give Johnina a good night's sleep!
ReplyDeleteP.S. My favorite is still the photo passed out on the floor next to the laundry. I'm still laughing about that one.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that's no fun!
