I swear, it must be the time period when children go crazy and don't want to sleep.
Squirt woke up at 2am and was wide awake until 4am, which you'd think we'd be good, right? Nope. Little E woke up at 3am and wanted to watch Cars. So we gave him the iPad to watch that and Big E and I fell asleep at 4am when Squirt did.
Yes, Little E was still awake. We weren't worried, his bedroom door is literally 3 feet from ours and he usually stays in his room because it's dark in the rest of the house.
I also didn't go to be until midnight because I have to pump. So I had 2 hours of sleep at that point.
Then Squirt woke up at 6am to eat again (he's been eating a crazy amount lately) and I had to throw out milk while I got him a bottle. It was previously frozen milk and it had been out in the fridge too long. Mostly my fault because I pre-fill bottles with the frozen (I've been rotating the ones I pumped in April out with what I'm pumping right now) and the stuff I was pumping that day I left in storage bottles in the fridge instead of freezing right away because I was being lazy. So my mother-in-law poured some of the fresh stuff in a bottle that was half full instead of just grabbing a pre-filled bottle. So the frozen didn't get used up even though I take out less than what he normally eats (which is also why I leave a couple bottles of fresh in the fridge because he needs more than I took out).
So did that and noticed Little E was still awake and playing in his room. So we had him come into our room and lay down with us in bed while he watched TV (again, we both were tired). Of course he was horribly cranky because he didn't go to sleep after 3am. Thankfully it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, and Squirt fell asleep as soon as he was done eating.
Needless to say, Big E and I didn't wake up to exercise. And Little E slept in then ate just pieces of bread and milk for breakfast. I don't know what to do with this kid as he doesn't want to really eat anything lately. Of course I want him to get some food so I just gave him bread. At least it was honey oat flavor.
I did weight myself this morning and I weighed 169.6, so I didn't lose anything from last week. I haven't been really losing at all, so I dropped my calorie intake by 100 again. I did it the first time and lost 1lb from that, but it's been a month since I did that and I'm still not losing. Of course I eat the extra for "breastfeeding" and exercising. Also, I haven't been exercising much so that's probably the problem. We did start doing T25 this week since it's a short workout, just what a sleep deprived mother/father needs.
Job hunting is horrible. I all but gave up. I've been applying to at least 1 job a day since 2 weeks ago and have only been called for 2 interviews. Part-time isn't worth it to me because we'd have to pay for daycare and I'd probably be making less than what that'll cost us. But full-time isn't happening. Although last night I applied for a full-time paint position at Lowe's. I have a feeling they'll offer me part-time, though, and I'll have to refuse it. But if I get it that'll help when we have to purchase things for the home.
It's just disheartening when I spent 4 years getting a bachelor's degree, is the reason I went in the Army because it paid for most of my school, and I can't even get a job with my degree or my experience. What was the point?
I'll start searching again in August after my 2 weeks. I may look here and there at what's open, but I'm done trying to find a job right now.
