700 Days

A normal person experiences trauma and crisis over increments throughout ones lifetime. I seem to be the exception.

I married my husband after a few months of being together. Every moment since, beginning with our wedding day, has been a moment of crisis. We tried to solve our problems and then it fell apart. On our 3 year anniversary I started this blog. Alone and away from my husband. Almost another 700 days passed before I recommitted my time to finishing this project, complete the healing process that I let myself get distracted with.

It was the advise from my aunt to give everything 700 days before seeing things get better.... and we will have survived the hardest part of raising the kiddos.

700 days to journey through what will be the toughest part of our marriage: with three kids under the age of two, confronting depression, and everything else that has been working its way against us.

  • 621- sleep deprived

    I’ve noticed my overall attitude and tolerance levels have been low again.  Mostly because I’m not getting the sleep I feel I need.  I’ve tried communicating with Hubster, but feel I get very little support, or understanding, little encouragement “Well, I don’t know what you can do” As he walks away.  

    Physically, there is VERY little I can do.  I end work at 11:00pm- pass out around 11:30 and wake up anywhere around 6:30- 7:30am depending on if I’m taking the boys to preschool or not. Our 2 year old never lets me sleep in.  I’m walking around our apartment or driving around half alert- half aware- There is absoultely no room in our schedule to allow me to get the sleep I feel i need. I’ve always thrived off 9-10 hours.  I’m lucky to get 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep as a parent of three toddlers. As much of a blessing this time in our life can be with our kids.  I feel I’m in an earthly hell during the hours I’m trying to sleep.  

    I’m spending my afternoons catching up and napping 1-2 hours before work.  

    Maybe, when all our kids in school full time, I get feel restored with the propper rest I need.  This waiting/patience thing sucks ass. Moreso when you watch your spouse doing fine/playing games/watching tv shows without empathy towards your needs.  I don’t expect him to do anything, but sometimes, I little “it’s going to pass” or “you’ll be ok” “I’m here if you need anything”.  Just a little support goes a long way.  I’m trying to find the ways to do this for myself.  But it’s hard.  I’m going in this all blind.  I have no idea what I’m doing.
