my kid came back after her almost week away

[gbck]

yesterday.

huzzah!
I went from 'most sleep I've had in 2 years' to "where the hell is the caffine? no wonder I have migraines" because of last night's scream fest

(Buffy is NOT taking kindly to this weaning thing. Hence the scream fest)

[Muddled]

Do you miss missing her? It's ok. You can tell me.

[fussbucket]

Awww, well it's nice to have the break and it's nice to be reunited!

[gbck]

I'm glad she's back, but it was kinda amazing how used I got to her NOT being there.
ANd no guilt :-P

[broc]

Oh god the weaning. We have a screamer too, heh.

[Muddled]

There is no guilt in happy hours and sleeping through the night. None. Nope. Not even for a minute.

I actually didn't loose THAT Much sleep last night, either. She had some struggle getting to bed, then sshe was up at 1 am.

It was just kinda sucky to be sitting there, in pain, my boobs were aching, *wanting* to nurse her and having to tell her I couldn't as she screamed and flailed and tried to dig through 5 layers of clothing.

Apparently the robe-shield held.

She did, eventually, wear herself down--she was so angry and sad and she eventually needed a hug--and the only person who could give her th ehug was me--ya know, the one she was angry at. So I held her in the 'clingingy baby monkey' position for 1/2 an hour as she finished sobbing, then I did the 'normal' rock and relax thing--except w/o the boob.
And then she went back to bed
