Its been a rough couple of days. Gabriel's sleep situation took a turn for the worse Sunday night when he woke up off and on constantly throughout the night. I finally had to put him in the bed with me around 4:30am just so Jason could get his last couple of hours crying free. Same with Monday night...him in our bed at 4:00am
Last night was even worse him waking up constantly almost every hour for no reason. Twice I gave him a bottle but refused a third time and finally put him our bed again at about 3:30am...he slept very fitfully with a whine here and there and struggling to wake himself all the way up. That lasted til 10 til 6 when I raised my sleep mask to find him glaring at me wide awake.
Not only has is had an effect on my mood but his lack of sleep is getting to him as well. Monday and Tuesday day he has been tempermental and whiney. Wanting to be held just about all his waking hours. Screaming to the top of his lungs when I put him in the Exersaucer just to even get miniscule chores done. Even when I think he will drift off to easy naps he tosses and turns for almost an hour before finally falling asleep. And this me waiting til I'm absolutely sure he is ready for sleep.

Ugggg...

We ventured out on a shopping trip today getting school supplies for the boys (who are returning to class next week...woot!) and backpacks/lunchboxes and window shopping for a couple of nice new pairs of shoes.
I wouldnt normally splurge on purchases for myself but I felt with all my troubles I deserved a little treat. We went to the crafts store and I replished a few crafting items and whatnots. I also found the most adorable necklace/watch on clearance and had to have it. That and a GIANT cherry limeade from Sonic has made my day a little less irritable.
Heres the necklace/watch. Such a cute and shiney little apple on a super long chain. Its a MARC JACOBS from the FOSSIL store. I adore it.
