So lately Miss Munchkin has been a real back-breaker. She doesn't nap for more than 45 minutes at a time, but only eats every 3-4 hours. This makes for one whacked out schedule during the day. And if we do this for the entire morning, by noon or so she's a mess and is so overtired she won't even eat. So yesterday I went and vented on facebook. Bless my family and friend's hearts for commiserating with me, offering advice, ideas, or just empathizing. Sometimes when we do this, we don't always hear anything new or anything that will help. And sometimes they bring you a fresh perspective and help you see things a different way. Either way, it's just nice. Friends offer support, they tell you that their kids did it too and that it will pass. I woke up this morning feeling just a tiny bit better. I still don't know if Munchkin will sleep longer than 45 minutes without serious intervention. But I know that I'm not the only Mom out there who's dealing or struggling with raising kids.
Like they always say, before you know it they'll be off to college. So I'll enjoy what parts of this stage I can, and just wait for the rest to pass.
