Fact: We had a rough night with Isaac. He cried for over an hour around 2:00am. Nothing helped except sleeping with him in his chair.
Fact: I've only had 4-5 hours of sleep in a recliner in the last 24 hours.
Fact: All of my children are particularly hyper this morning. Isaac has cried nearly constantly since he popped his head up from my chest at 7:00...it is now 9:00.
Fact: I've already had to choke back MANY complaints and grumblings.
Remember, I am only accountable to outward displays of complaining. So what do I do when I have to hold it in?
One of two things happens:
1. I literally swallow my complaint. It end up as tension in my jaw and shoulders...I seethe. This is what I am, at this very minute, doing as I continue to hear my exhausted 16 month old cry from his crib.
2. I grouch at God. This is really what I am supposed to be doing any way...but I still feel a little bad for unloading dumb crap on the God of the universe. In reality, it feels more healthy than complaning to my husband or my sister.
