Have you ever had one of those mind blowing weeks where you just don’t know how you made it. Well this for me has been one of them. I have been emotionally stretched trying to figure out how to handle and talk about some sensitive topics. I have had a couple friends talk to me about hair issues. How to handle their hair, product to use, how often to cut it, where to go, and everything.
I have also talked to friends about their kids and sleep issues. Of course their little ones are younger than mine but they know that I have had years of dealing with sleep issues with my little one. I have shared with this the things I have tried, the techniques I have, the melatonin and other herbal things I have used, the sleep habits, etc. Also, about crib tents, transitioning, environment and everything. Having a little one that isn’t good at sleeping is really hard. People don’t realize it. And for those that just miss a few hours of beauty sleep have nothing on a mom who has a kid who just can’t sleep. My little one the whole first year would only sleep for 15-20 min at a time. I thought I was going to loose my mind but I also knew I had to do what I could to survive. I was a mom and I had a family to take care of. So I needed to find a way to make it work.
I have spent my week talking to my friend about potty training. That is one hard job. I have been trying for a while but well I know my daughter will when she is ready. Well I have decided that because my daughter has a LOVE of candy I will just fill a bowl of all sorts of candy and for every time she goes she get a piece of candy. But if she does a #2 then I have a special bundle just for that occasion. So I am prepared. So I shared this new thing with my friend and told her that she needed to find some incentive for her kid. Whether it is a toy, candy, hair goodies, but something she could see, touch, and was well aware of everyday and time it happened. She thought that was a great idea. So she was going to make a bowl and fill it with something too.
I have also had to talk to my single friend about dating. And boy let me tell you that is just exhausting. Momma Mia wow I need a vacation after dealing with this one. One minute he is fine, then I am suppose to help find a place to eat at, then the places aren’t good enough, then he is nervous. Oh my gosh I just can’t take it. And then to top it off he gets a sty on his eye lid just the week before the date. Oh my gosh this is just going to make him a nervous wreck. I want to turn my phone off so I don’t have to keep having my eyes roll back in my head. I haven’t dated in 20 years. So what do I know lol. Well obviously more than he does. I know I am suppose to try and help him out. He is like a brother to me so I should do something or he will be single forever.
Then I had to deal with just other emotional things. People just not communicating right and I had to clear it up. People having other emotional issues and trying to read to much into things and I had to try and re-focus them. People that just think to much of themselves. Oh my goodness it is just exhausting. I just can’t take dealing with so much all in a week but the sad thing is this is a typical day or week for me. No wonder I get migraines.
