need a pick-me-up

cdmiesuk · February 2012

I am really feeling gross today. Tired, sore and overwhelmed. It doesn't help that LO won't nap long enough for me to sneak in a shower.

Any ideas? I'd really like to get some motivation.

Throwing a little cold water on your face could help wake you up and make you feel a little bit fresher...

This is probably a huge no-no, but can you take LO in to the bathroom while you shower?

When I was in HS I had to take home one of those realistic crying babies for the weekend. I remember putting in in the car seat thing on the floor of the bathroom while I showered.

Actually, no, don't listen to me. I'm thinking about this story more now and when I brought the doll back on monday my teacher told me I had neglected the doll and was probably too rough with it, because it recorded abuse too. Embarrassed

I'll call your FI and tell him that you deserve some flowers. Stat.

i'd put him in a little vibrating chair and put him on the floor in the bathroom while you shower. you shouldn't let him not let you shower.. even if he cries, he'll be fine.

I know what you should NOT do. Do not eat a bunch of Skittles. They will make you sick. Trust me on this.

I think the same thing goes for dove milk chocolates... figured that out at about 9 this morning!

I don't think bringing him in there is such a bad idea... it's what I usually do! I just can't put him down without him screaming today. He isn't even usually a fussy baby.

Maybe the steam and warmth of the bathroom might calm him down. Try it!

I'd take the shower anyway. If he's going to fuss regardless, you might as well feel clean and refreshed! Or could you take a bath with him? Then you'd both be clean and maybe he'd be calmed, too. Then go for a walk or to a coffee shop.

I like this idea!

He's finally napping anyways, but I'm going to just do it, and if he wakes up he will just have to make noise for a few I guess. Thanks for helping me not feel too bad about it!
