If you are a mom, or you need a good belly laugh, I promise this is the blog to read tonight. I have to think back now to wednesday which seems like forever ago.....but that is when the conversation took place.
Lets be honest, a lack of sleep, a teething toddler, a snoring husband, you work full time, your house is a mess, there is a light at the end of the tunnel...but its a long tunnel, therefore you vent to other momma's out there because we are all the same. We all think the same things, and have the same thoughts even though we don't always vocalize them... here goes nothing
On Wednesday night I called my friend, she answered in a yelling whipser short of a panting breath " your going to wake up simon"...I said the phone wakes up your kid?? what's the matter with him?? She replied..I don't know what the hell is going on but he's not sleeping, I'm so tired I honestly don't know what to do, he is night waking, he's crying, his naps are screwed up blah blah blah....I replied and said maybe he's getting his molars ( same story different day at our house right now) she said I don't know what it is but Milk, rocking him, medicine doesn't help..nothing.....
and then it all came out of the woodwork...she then said this..her exact words coming right from the horses mouth.......
" Deena, I finally did the unthinkable.... ( oh my god I can't hardly contain my laugher right now) I looked at the clock it said 1am, I went in his room, I grabbed the stool to his rocker..it was going back and forth, I put my leg over the crib, straddled it and climbed right in his crib. I layed on my side in fetal position, it was so comfortable but simon slapped my face....his eye's looked like black sockets in the dark and he shook his head back and forth like he was possessed....it was the last straw I didn't know what else to do...and it still didn't help"
At this point i had tears running down my face with laughter, it was the silent laugh, she didn't even realize I was busting a gut, she was so sincere and just vomited all her feelings and the truth was told. When she realized how funny it was, we giggled together. At least she can count on me to not be judgmental, or put any blame on her..I was just there to listen in a time of crisis. I've been there...last night actually. Its like you've almost hung yourself and then all of a sudden its morning, you crawl downstairs with 1 eye open, hair dazzled, and freezing cold to find the strongest coffee in the freezer, and turn Dora on, on repeat and sit staring like a sleeping zombie.
I just thought I'd share that with you! Happy weekend!
