So, I'm not quite sure what I did to piss off the Mr. Sandman but for some reason he has it out for me!
Last night we did night three of the 7 day challenge. So again, bath, massage, quiet time. And again, it took Isabella almost 30 minutes to fall asleep. She would nod off but when I would try to mover her, she would wake up so I had to start from the beginning again. She finally fell into a deep enough sleep for me to move her into her bed.
I enjoyed a bit of quiet time before Lexi decided she wanted to join me in my hot relaxing bath which makes it not so relaxing anymore, then went to bed.
I woke up to Bells crying assuming it was 5ish and thought, wow I must have been tried cause I would have sworn, I just fell asleep.... and I was pretty much right. It was 1:30am! Seriously, WTH! Went in and tried to get her back to bed... and of course failed. It took an hour of trying different things before she fell back asleep.
So back off to bed, I crawled only for her to wake up again at 5:15am. I seriously wanted to throw a temper tantrum, just ignore her and hide under the blankets and pretend that I was somewhere far far away. But I knew the longer I let her cry, the more likely she would wake up the other 2 kids, not something I would appreciate.
After trying for about 30 minutes, I gave up, put her down and turned her aquarium on. As I left the room, I heard Zachary. I went in and he was jumping on his bed! So I settled him down and turned off the lights. On my way back to bed, I stopped and didn't hear anything at Isabella's door so kept going but noticed Lexi's light on. So, I went in and checked on her and she couldn't find her doll. We found the little run away and put her back to bed. Stopped again in the hallways and still didn't hear anything from Bells, so back to bed.... again, it was 6:15am. Waited a couple of minutes before letting myself fall back asleep and pow! Her Highness calls. I literally almost started to cry! How much of this can seriously one person take! Especially all the while, the hubby is snoring beside you (but in his defense, Isabella doesn't like him so there is really nothing he could do to help anyways. Lexi was the same way as a baby)
So, back into her room, may have gotten a little cranky with her, tried to rock her then gave up. I took out her vibrating seat, put her in it, turned her aquarium back on and left. I turned that bathroom fan on as well so it would be harder for the other kids (and me) to hear her. I climbed back in bed and looked at the clock, it was 6:30am. I layed there for about 10 minutes as I hadn't heard anything and thought to torture myself a little more. I wanted to see if she was actually asleep, so I opened the door lol
It was kinda like one of those scenes in a movie where you are yelling at the character No! What are you doing!!! But I did and she was sleeping!
I was free to go back to bed..... for 45 minutes until Zachary woke up......
Needless to say, I am just a little cranky this morning as cursing Johnson and Johnson and their stupid crappy 7 day challenge.
At this point, I'm at an utter loss and I just want to run away.... I hear Tahiti is nice this time of year ;0)
