So.
I will start with ” I hate my dogs.” I mean. I love them clearly, but ever since I had a baby all the things they do that never bothered me totally bother me because they bother Hudson.
Remember my post ten minutes ago? The one that says Hudson hadn’t napped yet?
Well, shortly there after he fell asleep on the couch with a baba. I waited till I knew he was asleep- which is usually when his thumb falls out of this mouth. Just as I was getting up to go make myself breakfast (at 1PM- I’m really helping these twins out clearly.) the dogs start barking. I got up to go kill them- and stop them from barking at nothing. Of course JUST as I turn the corner Hudson wakes up on the couch- sits up and literally starts to teeter (since he’s half asleep) on the edge of the couch. So, I run over- heart pounding and catch him. And then proceed to freak out that I walked away from him sleeping on the couch.
Anyways, now he’s wide awake. His nap was maybe 10 minutes and now he’s PISSED. In his playpen crying away. Yes, that may sound mean but I was so hungry I thought I might pass out. So I made a sandwich and I am eating it.
The dogs do this like literally everyday and I think I may loose it.

Jackie Sessler told me a story once about how when Kristin was born and they had moved to Reno for Rob’s job temporarily. She left a baby Kristin sleeping on the couch and went outside (I don’t recall the reason) and straight locked herself out of the house! She knew none of the neighbors but had to go pounding on doors to get use of a phone. And I happen to admire Jackie a great deal for the awesome children she has raised, clearly.
Mistakes happen, it doesn’t constitute a parenting fail.

Well, he didn’t fall or anything. I’m just making poor choices today apparently. I honestly am having issues this week. I’m having a life-fail.

I feel you on the dog thing, I am surprised I haven’t strangled mine yet. It aways barking at NOTHING right when sienna is drifting off to sleep. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Every mom has one (or more) of these stories. When we were camping in a trailer over labor day, sienna rolled off the couch AND the bed onto the hard ground, both when i was right next to her (luckily no bumps or bruises). I definitely felt like mother of the year.

It looks like we were having a bad day yesterday… glad it’s over! I hate it when things like that happen. We have a neighbor with a really loud motorcycle (the equivalent to your dogs) –he ALWAYS leaves his house as soon as Bresho falls asleep. ughhhhh.
