Sleepless nights

This isn't a post on lying in bed not being able to sleep, even though I've had one or two of those nights. This is about being a parent and you don't have a choice by how much or how little of sleep you are given each night.
Because I am a stay at home mom I am able to snag a nap here and there or sleep in a little longer depending on when Isaac gets up and i'm very grateful for that. I LOVE my sleep!

The past two-three nights we have gotten TERRIBLE sleep because of Isaac and partly because of Jackson.
Between Isaac getting teeth, not feeling 100%, being hungry but not eating much and not getting enough sleep he has NOT been going to bed very well and we've been up until midnight sometimes with him and sometimes up and down through out the night.

It's very hard especially when your the mom and can't seem to comfort or help your child, especially since he wont cuddle with me even when he is sick. Sometimes he will sit on my lap to watch part of a show but he wont stay there for long. He has been loving daddy more lately which is sad but I love their father son bond.

It's funny because I think as parents we need sleep to help our children but when you become parents that's one thing you lack the most lol

I'm extra emotional when I don't get enough sleep and that doesn't help being patient when your child is being cranky and whiny and screaming. Thankfully Spencer is great at helping take care of the boys and we will trade of with the boys.

But most of all its just very hard when you don't know how to make them feel better or whats bothering them.

I am thankful for the gospel in that it helps when we can give blessings to help comfort or help heal our loved ones.

I felt bad because yesterday was a very emotional day for me and I think lack of sleep and being a women knocks your emotions all over the place and it's not fun because you just cant seem to control it.

I felt the spirit quite a bit today especially at church and that was amazing and then I was sad and angry for like fifty different reasons through out the day, some were probably really stupid but they upset me during that day.

And it seemed no matter what I kept running into an upsetting situation but I didn't know how to express myself without crying so I just never said anything because who likes sobbing like a baby in front of someone for a stupid reason even if its a family member. I've never been a fan of that so that's why I usually never say when i'm upset over something lol

This was a very all over the place post but the conclude: get as much sleep as possible especially if your a women and a mother lol

Thank heavens Spencer is off all this week!
