Default Bad day

I need to vent...not because I want people to feel bad for me, reply or anything....just if I dont vent Im gonna scream.

Today I woke up to my 12 week DD having an eye so swollen that she could barely open it, not to mention she had formula coming out of her nose. So therefore she was screaming...

20 mins later she was fine, but the doctor still insisted that I bring her in....fine...I will pay $20 for you to tell me theres nothing wrong.

I got spit up on so many times today that I just gave up in the end and am just walking around like a human burp rag. Im not normally a dirty person but, I do too much laundry with just me and baby DD's clothes that frankly, Im sick of the smell of my fabric softner.

My 2 yr old DD decided she wanted to "forget" what the word No meant...so she got her TV taken away. All she did was scream all day for it. Oh well. Now she wants to watch a movie, which she normally does to unwind before bedtime...well she "lost" all of her DVD's. A whole stack, probably about 20 of them. Im sure they will turn up in an odd place like in her VCR...which I should probably check.

Its past 7:30pm and DH STILL isnt home from work. Money is nice with the OT but why did they decided to stay late TONIGHT? Did they just KNOW i was having a bad day?

Now, baby DD wont stop crying...I did everything I could think of. She has a clean diaper, just ate, burped (and spit up on me again, twice actually), and is in her swing which is her favorite spot. Nothing is working. So I guess I should come out of hiding now and figure out whats wrong...

nice breather TY for listening

(((Hugs)))

Hopefully you'll all be getting a good night's sleep tonight.

We've all been there and it's no fun at all.

Tomorrow will be better.

I'm trying to remember what common household product you can put on baby spit-up on your clothing so it doesn't stink.

Here it is: if your baby spits up, wipe the area with water, then scrub with a little vinegar and baking soda. After it dries, you won't smell the vinegar or the spit up. You can still wear the shirt and it will be 'clean again.'

If baby is small enough, I like those little cotton bibs to catch drips and droops too.

thanks everyone...


i got a pretty decent nights sleep although DH came home in a terrible mood as well and we just stayed in seperate rooms. DD1 refused to go to bed (and now she knows how to unlock her door so its not very fun) so she didnt go down until at 10pm I finally said I was gonna throw all of her toys in the trash if she didnt go to sleep...at 2 am DD2 woke up, and we went to get out of bed just to realize that DD1 was in between us (im a very light sleeper usually so this was strange that I didnt feel her crawl into bed with me) We put her back into her bed w/o a fight...

so far today DD1 decided to get up at 6am...2 hours earlier then usual, so now she is miserable from going down 2 hours late and waking 2 hours early... ...only good thing is she will nap earlier and longer (hopefully!) today...

but its FRIDAY! so who's complaining haha...plus IL's are taking older DD overnight tonight (they wont take the baby because she screams the whole time she is there and just spits up on them....they dont know the tricks yet )

I hope today is a better day for you! Maybe since your IL's are taking your older daughter you and your hubby could have a date night in, order some food and watch a movie? Have a great day!
