CAN'T SLEEP!!!
Sorry I need to vent for a moment!!!
Some of you may remember that I am due to have back surgery on Febuary 14th. I am on some powerful pain killers, and muscle relaxers that are making me drowsy to say the least.
I don't get a normal amount of sleep as it is. I get about 3-4 hours before I am awake and in pain. I am laying on my couch, FDH is working, and SD6 is here. I CAN SLEEP AROUND THIS CHILD. I get woken up every 15 minutes for something, or nothing seems to be the case most of the time. Several times I have awoken to feeling like someone was tickling me with a feather. IT WAS SD TICKLING ME WITH HER HAIR!! Got woken up by that 3 times! She ate breakfast at 10:30, no snack, by 12:00 was being woken every 15 minutes for "lunchie". Fucking hate that kid adding an ie to the end of everything *gags myself with spoon*!
As a custodial SM with no bios, I have to ask myself if this is unusual. I know she is being a brat with the frequency and the methods for waking me. Should she be able to entertain herself for more than 15 minutes at a time? She came in and woke me for the 20th time maybe and I yelled "GO FIND SOMETHING TO DO, QUIT BOTHERING ME I AM RESTING!!!!!!!!!!!" She comes back 15 minutes later, pokes me in the boob, and says "I still can't find ANYTHING to do, and you havn't even made me snackie yet! I am starvvvvvvving!!!!!"
FDH will be home in about an hour, I am probably going to have to bail on our plans tonight because I need to rest badly! Keep nodding off while typing this blog, and oddly enough the step brat has left me alone for about 20 minues straight, of course because I am somewhat awake! She has radar for this, she senses me getting comfortable and dozing off, and comes up with something that she wants that invovles me getting up and painfully walking to the kitchen to produce food for her bratty self!!!
Grrrr I am pissed! I guess my point is, does anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you deal with it? I try to get everything she could need BEFORE I lay down, so I don't have to get up and down and up and down. It never works she always comes up with something, I usually send her away the first 15 o 20 times, but she just keeps coming back. Her father is going to need to explain to me why his 6 year old daughter gets to decide that I don't get to rest. BRAT!
Thanks again for letting me vent everyone!

Locking myself in my bedroom
Locking myself in my bedroom sounds so tempting right now. I am a pretty heavy sleeper, it would be quite difficult for me to be woken up by a knock on the door. But god knows if I did that SD would set her hair on fire and burn the damn house down.
I am so tired I just want to cry, I just hope I don't get carried away with FDH when he gets home. I tend to get REALLY pissy when she does something bratty and fucking gets away with it clean. :sick:
OMG GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I could but the commercials,
I could but the commercials, she comes flying out of her room everytime there is a commercials on the screen, I guess expecting me to entertain her, or feed her or whatever the hell else her bratty heart desires. I was listening to it a couple times, she would be in poking me on the couch, and her show would come back on and she zipped right back of to her room. The interuptions are sadly still happening even with TV babysitting for me.
PS BM doesn't allow SD to watch spongebob, "it's a stupid cartoon". Wow I am sorry, I thought they were ALL stupid. Whatever BM!
Tell your DH that he either
Tell your DH that he either needs to tell her to stop this behavior or HE NEEDS TO PAY FOR A BABYSITTER for his brat. You are in pain and she needs to realize you need rest. I'm sure you aren't planning on sleeping the day away and neglecting her you just need rest and she's old enough to entertain herself or get her butt blistered. She needs to learn everything is not all about her.
I physically can't sleep for
I physically can't sleep for more than and hour or so on the couch before the pain becomes too much, and I have to get up and move around. Same thing trying to sleep at night. At least one short nap during the day seems to be nessicary for me to function without dozing off standing up. I have had this problem with her from day 1. When I am the only one here apparently I am expected to jump up ANY time she want me to and cook for her or play with her, or just listen to her ramble about this or that. Just 5 minutes ago I was bombarded with WHY did I take the halloween stickers off the sliding glass door. Now mind you the couch that I am resting on is sitting right infront of the door in question, and she is bumping in the couch, causing me extreme pain, I had to tell her to stop 3 times before I had to yell! Then she huffed off because she doesn't like to be yelled at.....boo hoo
She's 6 so why don't you pour
She's 6 so why don't you pour some milk in a small pitcher that she's able to pour from and put the cereal down low enough so she can get it-that solves breakfast
You can pick up lunchables or cut up some lunch meat and put it on a plate on a low shelf in the fridge so she can reach it-solves lunch if you aren't able to get up
cut up some vegies and put some ranch dressing in a small container-snack or cut some cheese and put some crackers out - another snack.
She's 6 I'm sure she isn't old enough to use the stove or microwave but if she's that hungry all the time the above suggestions may work. If it's about attention seeking your going to have to tell her that she will be disciplined if she doesn't stop and she will end up with attention just negative attention.
I feel for you I was single when my 2 were little and came down with a bad flu and bronchitis. I still cooked dinner but didn't have much energy for anything else so I was on the couch most the day and I used the suggestions I gave for snacking for my kids probably helped they had eachother for company but your skid needs to learn to entertain herself some.
