Calgon, Take Me Away

I am so freakin’ sick of a whiny sick grumpy baby. She has no more fever and hasn’t for a full day now. But the whining and the crying. Oh my lord. She’s exhausted but she can’t seem to settle to sleep. Even with the Motrin I was giving her earlier in the week for the fever, it never knocked her out. She’d wake up very often, crying like her little heart would break, and then either she’d settle herself pretty quickly or I’d have to go in and rock with her (and she’d fall asleep in my lap, which NEVER happens). Well, the fever is gone but this nasty habit remains. No, she’s not teething as far as I can tell, but she won’t let me get anywhere near her mouth. And if she were, wouldn’t the Motrin have helped?

I feel like all I do with her anymore is feed her and put her to sleep. But when she does play for a bit, she loses her shit very quickly over something like me not letting her chew on her shoes. Hello? She walks on nasty floors with those things, I’m not letting her put them in her mouth.

I feel like I have done a damn good job at keeping us both sane this week all by myself but my patience is at its end. Jake may very well find himself wife-less this weekend. I might just go sit at the library to hear nothing but quiet for two full days.
