I’m sorry this post is so late, but today was one busy and exhausting day. It started off by not sleeping well last night, since Keenan woke up twice (first time to go to the bathroom and the second time he wet his bed). After changing his bed and getting him cleaned up, I had a hard time going back to sleep, so I was exhausted when I woke up. Fortunately, I pressed snooze and skipped my early morning workout (which through the rest of the day off in getting everything I wanted to get done) to get as much sleep as I could get before Keenan woke up.
The day got better when we met up with our friends, Giselle and her little boy, for a play date and picnic at a park. The boys had a lot of fun playing together and it was great to catch-up! Keenan played hard so I thought he would definitely fall asleep in the car and be easily transferred to his bed when we got home, allowing me to take a quick nap, workout and do some blogging, but only the workout happened (with Keenan playing beside me). He was wide awake and wired this afternoon, partly due to trying to go number two when we got home and not being able to. The good ol’ poop always messes with his naps!
Having a blast playing together!
Anyhow, enough of my ranting. I’m way too tired to put my thoughts together, so today is my blog “rest day.” I had a fun post planned for today, but all I can think of is crawling into my bed and getting some sleep! I will see you all tomorrow!
Questions:
Have you ever been so exhausted that you are unmotivated to do anything?
How do you get through your day when you are too tired to even think straight?
For all of you veteran mommies, how did you get your kids to stop wetting the bed? I know Keenan is young, but he does great for a while (a week or two) and then goes back to wetting the bed a couple times a week.
I never knew you & Giselle lived so closer to each other. How perfect! Looks like your little guys had a great time together.
To answer your questions: I’m absolutely exhausted, and really thinking about skipping my workout for the day. I feel like I could sleep all day long. I did just clean the bedroom & wash all the windows – I think that should count as something right? 🙂
It’s nice to be able to get together with Giselle every now and then. We are about an hour a part, so it’s not bad to meet each other halfway. I totally agree, cleaning definitely warrants you skipping your workout! It’s hard work! 🙂
My oldest son never wet the bed but my youngest – oy!!!
I did read that some kids just don’t have developed enough bladders to stay dry all night until they are quite a bit older. We kept the younger one in pull-ups (at night only) until he was 4 and even then he still had occasional accidents (even into 1st grade) at night.
One thing I did to make the night-time changes easier – I made the bed up with mattress pad & sheets and then put another mattress pad & sheets on top of the first – that way I just had to strip the wet stuff while he changed into dry clothes – 5 minutes max!!!
I love the idea of putting an additional mattress pad and extra sheets on the bed to make a night time change so much easier and faster! We will definitely be trying that! Thank you!
I don’t think I knew that you and Giselle lived close to each other- how fun!!
Yes, we used to live closer, but after we moved, we are about an hour a part, so still not too bad. It’s fun to meet up every now and then!
I love the idea of a blog rest day! I’ve been taking more of those lately since the blog has been tapping more into my personal life than I’d like it to. Some days you just gotta take it easy. Love that you, Giselle and the boys hang out 🙂
I agree with you on the blog tapping more into the personal life! After writing this post, I’ve realized that regular blog rest days might be beneficial! 🙂
