Momzillas

I stopped by our local market today to do some food shopping and my usual Sunday reverie was broken by a momzilla and her little todzilla. The toddler was having a complete meltdown over crackers, Cheese Nips to be precise, because he was very obviously over tired. I think his mum was too because someone offered to help her with the little scamp and she absolutely lost it in frozen foods. Maybe someone should have helped her into the ice cream freezer so she could cool off.

I've had those days where you're so exhausted that you just lose your mind over the slightest thing and your coping skills are basically nonexistent. My new Italian boyfriend, Lunesta, is really helping me these days. I just adore him.

Lily is not a great sleeper now and she's 3 but when she was an infant she was even worse. Ferber failed us, the "family bed" thing didn't work, giving her endless back rubs that usually began at
2:00am left us exhausted and feeling like failures. Now she at least sleeps till 5:00 every morning. But when she comes in our bed all perky at that insanely early hour my reaction is still, "5 o'clock?! Where you going...fishing? Get back in that bed!"

Back in the days when the Mommy Monster lived in our house,my husband suggested seeing our family doctor. After I chewed him up and spit him out, I thought it might be a good idea. No more monsters! To all the moms out there, take care of your self. Maybe your Italian boy friend has a brother? :)

I'm incredibly lucy. My gen slept through the night at 8 days old. She was a 12 hour sleeper, and even now (at 3) she will sleep until 10:30. Ahhh motherhood! ;)

I'm sorry that must have been me with my todzilla, was there two? Then it was definitely me.

Sleep ... what is that?

Thankfully mine have always slept through the night. Except on the RARE occasion. I've been blessed in that area. The only times they don't sleep through the night is when I REALLY want them to. When I am dead on my feet, can't go one more step. They decide to stay awake. It always happens.

As for the screaming monster in the store. My little 2 year old will go visit Grandma & Pa. He's a little angel. I always think "who is this kid?"
We go to the grocery store and put him in the cart to shop, he starts screaming "HELP" "Mama HELP ME". He hates riding in the seat. It takes hours if I let him walk and I can't hold him and push a full cart. So in the seat he goes.
I used to look at people like me and think "that kid needs a spanking, what a brat". Now it's my kid people are thinking that about. HA!!
Oh well, this "stage" will pass too.
