Needed: A New System. Stat.
It does not work for me for the alarm to go off at 4:13, 4:17, 4:21, 4:25 and 4:29 before you finally get out of bed. It does not work for me for the alarm to go off for an entire minute with you stretching and looking at it to decide whether you're going to get up or not. It does not work for me that when you finally get up, you turn the bathroom light on to shine directly in my face because you forgot to shut the door before you turned on the light. It does not work for me for you to make so much noise as you frump down the stairs to make your coffee and take your pre-PT shit that you wake up the baby every morning. Don't try to tell me you didn't wake her up, when for the last two morning she has gotten up screaming within minutes of you walking downstairs, and she has not woken in the middle of the night for the entire week that you were home before that.
This does not work for me.
Now it is 5:00, I have been awake since 4:00 because I was worried that your alarm wouldn't go off again today like it did yesterday, so I woke up naturally before your alarm was supposed to sound so that you wouldn't be late and frantic like yesterday.
Why do I care more about you getting up and being on time than you do? Why is it more important to me that you have a good morning?
Why can't you respect the fact that I have an incredibly hard time sleeping, and after 30 straight minutes of alarms, lights and other sounds I cannot possibly get back to sleep? That I am exhausted 90% of my waking day, that I'm caring for our children, our house, my job and other responsibilities as they pop up?
I need my rest.
I need to be allowed to sleep.
You need to wake up when the damn alarm goes off.
I've said all this before, so I'm guessing not much will change. At least I'll blog off the steam so I don't blow up at you at my next opportunity.
When I go to bed early tonight, do not wake me up for cuddling or sex. Do not get huffy when you have to deal with the girls and their bedtime routine because I am so exhausted and sore that my body refuses to allow me to take another step.
You joined the Army and agreed to this ridiculous schedule.
I didn't.
3 Whoops from the Posse:
earplugs. honest. went through this too... earplugs. but what you can do for the baby? does white noise help her?
LAW
That sucks. And what sucks more is that he deosn't see your side and won't compromise. Maybe you need to sleep in another room (or make him) until you get caught up on some sleep. Ok, not likely to happen I know, but sheesh! Hang in Sis, you're doing an awesome job of keeping it all together. P.S. I hurt for you for yesterday's post...
i agree......perhaps he needs to sleep alone to realize the blessing he has w/ u....
OR...
sometimes a taste of their own medicine ...painfully administered is all it takes...
when i worked third shift & my friends would call during the day (the middle of my nite) & ask..."oh..did i wake u...were u sleeping??".....time & time again....
it only took two doses at 3 in three in the am ......for them to realize ....oh....this is what it feels like when u panic & answer the phone out of a dead sleep....LOL
of course ....i would politely ask..."oh ...we're u sleeping?"....
