Teething & Screaming & Wind Oh My!

I'd thought he'd been teething for about a month now and the Dr confirmed it. Those bastard teeth have been up and down more times than Teddy had walked 'round and 'round the garden.  Hubby asked a colleague at work when their bubs began teething-4 months, then he asked when did they come through?  9 months... !!! His response was gold; I don't think we can handle another 5 months of this! ! Haha. Right you are darling. Right.you.are...The screaming is unbearable. After thinking it's wind pains and giving that goody medicine we find he keeps screaming FUUUUUUUUCK ok, ok must be teeth, gel, check.....screaming.  Panadol, check. ..still screaming. ..FUUUUUUUUUCK MEEEE! Ok, ok try some nurofen -meanwhile we're both looking like frazzled, disheveled Banshies thinking; are we overdosing our baby? The screams continue and it's been about two and a half hours on and off. Settled one minute, screaming the next. ..and so the pattern continues. Almost 4 hours later bubs finally gives in and goes the heck to sleep. Ugh. Exhaustion has long been my frenemy with sleep regression of every two hours overnight and feeding almost hourly during the day and yes thanks he's being fussy and refuses to take any more milk at the time.  Pfft, at least I can still count on one hand how many times I've worn my clothes inside out and back to front. I did walk into the men's loos instead of the ladies last week and even wondered why they'd put a urinal in a ladies toilet! ! 😂

So you know when you're chatting away and someone comes out with a complete GOLD comment? Why on earth do I honestly believe I can remember that for the next blog??!! Ya'll know it's NOT gonna happen! And yet I keep doing it.

Although we had joked about noticing our bra being undone after a workout or when you've been out shopping and eventually come home to find your maternity/breastfeeding bra undone so your milk boobie's just wobbling all around and meanwhile you think...'hmm something didn't feel right. .' 😂😂 bahahaha. Thank God I'm not the only one 😉

what exercise?

All the times you think you can go to your Mums and Bubs session at the box and he grizzles the.whole.time.. Ugh. But ya know what?! Good on me for getting the heck outta bed.! A HUGE pat on the back for actually getting dressed AND getting to the box! Because even if I end up only doing a 500m row (haha almost typed km!!) Or end up lunging with him in the sling it's still something-no matter how small. That time is not used sitting on the couch eating shit like I am now 😉 HEY! I lasted 4 nights without opening the Tim Tams dammit! I.am.awesome!. And so are you Mumma Bear!  💚 and so is this timtam!

Teething. .fuuuuuuuck!

If teething were a Monster it'd be... (I asked my hubby) he reckons Frankin -Wolf- Stein- Teen...um ok! WT?!! Well I think teething is the WORST necessary EVIL there is! 😯 It's fuckin terrrrrrrrrrible! I mean, the painful screaming is one thing but trying all your drugs throughout the day is CRAZAAAY!! coupled with some nasty 'ol wind (yeh, bitchface mummy ate waaaaay too much chocolate),-shut up child it was to drown my sorrows! ! So, teething, wind and a fuckin' wonder week all in one day or 3...gaaarrrrrrrrghhhh! Kill.me.NOW!. Damn it's exhausting holding a baby all.day.long when he's clingy. .I seriously don't know how single parents do it! They deserve more than a medal or a 'my hat goes off to them', they.are. a-MAZIIIIIING!
  But then M finally goes to sleep. ..awwwwww SO cute!  😮 So, asshole parent award goes to moi!

Needle Time

So I'm trying not to worry about M's 4 month immunisations later today.  Actually not so later, 50 min to be exact. Ugh I know it's gotta a be done but the screams of pain is too much to bare! I think I cried more at the 2 month ones and stared up at hubby and said "I'm NEVER doing that again. "  Hubs is so sweet he'd organised to have lunch and be there today, but in a VERY short, flighty whim of confidence I told him I'd be ok. Arghhhh! What an idiot I am!! Arghhhh hhh!
Okay it's all done and I only cried a little!  Go me! ! 😀 Meanwhile, Panadol, nurofen and teething gel have been mostly ingested, but worstly (did I just invent a new word??) Hubby ripped one of the band aids off...needless to say, squealed crying was heard 😢😢. Poor darling little M.

I was having lunch with a girlfriend the other day  and she  brought up a really good point.  When someone asks "is your baby good?" At first I didn't think too much but then it dawned on me...YES!! As she continued "what are we meant to say to that?! Good as opposed to what? an evil, demonic baby?!" Or maybe something from Chucky? Or the Exorcist maybe?? Nail on the head right there peeps. Nail & head. Daimn my friends are smart! 

Etiquette 101

Ok, so letting out your 13 year old rage against my sister in one go probably isn't the best policy.  It's even better to NOT do this after your night duties as any empathy has flown the coop long b4 you began to type.  What's even more poor form is that it was allll on fb...inbox of course!! Geez I had SOME form left....but it was so close..

In my defence: I had no idea that my other sister had already come to heads with her earlier on and I don't think I would've given her such a hard time about her selfishness had I have know that she'd already copt an earful. Then again, I've always been [as they say] "the mushroom in the dark and fed shit...." nor did had I known anything about her post natal depression, after all, she put on a happy mask just that weekend and seemed like her same, immature, loud-mouthed and inappropriate self.


I get some un-recognisible caller on my mobs and don't answer- if I can barely construct a sentence during handover, I'm no use during any other conversation after 2 nights.  The voice message received is from her "boyfriend" whom tells me I'm never to contact my sister ever again and I'm "insert unspeakable namess" !!!! WTF???!!!
This dickhead continues to call and then txt twice, I didn't write anything back....and thought later that I should've replied how he should return to school and learn some basic grammer fuckn' dumb-ass!  but thankfully as much as I like provoking animals with a stick I was far too tired for his shit.

Unfortunately, some ppl never grow up, never use hindsight and have no insight, that is my sister. Of course I justified my actions by asking my other sister for her input on whether it was too harsh, thankfully she said "no".
