This morning I thought today was going to be a good day. And boy was I wrong.
Piper let me sleep until 8:30 this morning. So I was pretty ecstatic about that. I haven't even taken a nap today and it's 10 pm. All was well this morning. She was a little bit cranky but that was just before her first nap. So I didn't think anything of it. I did some dishes and cleaned up a little bit of the clutter around here while she slept. I even got to read a couple pages in my book while she slept. It was nice. She woke up about 45 minutes later and I played with her for about fifteen to twenty minutes after her diaper was changed and giving her some of her favorite breakfast. Banana, Raspberry, and Oatmeal. I put some formula in her sippy cup and blankets on the floor and lay down on the floor with her. All was well for about 5 minutes. She decides she's crabby and doesn't want anything to do with... anything really. I sat her up and let her play with her cloth blocks, satisfied for a few. I put her on her stomach and let her scoot around, she just rolled over and started crying. So finally I let her lay there and she just rolled around all over the place so I picked her up. The little turd was STILL crying.
I took her outside since that is generally one of the only things that will keep her quiet. She loooooves going outside. Which makes me happy because I really enjoying being outside and I didn't want to have one of those kids who didn't want to go outside, or was scared to get dirty or something like that. She finally starts falling asleep on me. And what does the neighbor do? Start up his annoying Honda Prelude that you can hear from twenty million miles away and wakes her up. She starts screaming of course. I go back inside, and proceed to take another 20 minutes putting her back to sleep. She naps for about 30 minutes.
Ethan came over right after she woke up. He played with her for a bit which kept her calm and not cranky. Usually when he's here she's in a pretty good mood. She loves Ethan. Then, she of course gets fussy again. This is basically how it has been all day.
So later on in the day, she had been going between fussing and crying for about 20/30 minutes. I was in our room trying to put her down for a nap. She just kept crying. So I shut my door so the sounds of the tv weren't floating into the room. My mom comes in first after about five minutes to see why she's crying. I shoo her out of the room. Then five minutes later, Ethan comes in and gives me the "WTF" look. I give him the "GTFO" look and make him leave and shut the door. Piper FINALLY starts falling asleep when my sister slams open her door really loud like she ALWAYS does even though I've yelled at her multiple times for it. So guess what Piper does? Wakes up and starts screaming. My mother comes in and I tell her to just get out and she was almost asleep, and guess what SHE does?... legit takes Piper from me because "She's not ready to go to sleep." She was JUST asleep. I know when my baby is and isn't ready for sleep. Their loud asses were just keeping her awake. As usual. It's really very annoying to live with your mother who is supposed to be your "roommate" and not act like a control freak crazy bitch. I don't know if any of the few people who read this have been in this situation, but it was very hard to not tell her to give me back my child and quit acting like she is hers. Yes, I'm grateful for everything she has done for me and is still doing for me. No, I do not need her fucking up my child's nap/sleep schedule because she doesn't want to deal with hearing her cry. Crying never hurt anyone.
Then she tries to act all innocent after five minutes of me saying "fuck it" and sitting in my room and telling me to come outside with her, Ethan, and the baby because it's just oh so nice out and the baby just loves it. "Yes Mother. I know Piper likes being outside. I take her outside all day. She is MY child after all."
I really cannot wait for Corissa to get OUT of the army so she can move back home and we can get our place together. If she doesn't, then once my child support comes rolling in, me and Piper will go solo finally. My only problem is, I have to find a place that allows big dogs. I have two large breed dogs. Boomer is over 110 pounds and is a Lab. Opera is a 70 pound Husky/Australian Shepherd mix. I can't, and won't get rid of my animals.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. It took me forty-five minutes to get her to sleep tonight by 9:30. Something would always wake her up. EX: Sister, mother, cat running around like a bat out of hell.
My advice to anyone soon to be having a child. Don't live with a parent.
