I think maybe I've been cooped up too long this winter.
I am feeling downright hostile toward my husband because he forgot to take out the garbage and recycling this morning.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but see, there's more. We've decided to put our house on the market, and we spent last weekend clearing out lots of our stuff into a storage unit. We ended up throwing out a lot and putting it in the garage. Now that stuff, plus bags of cans, dirty diapers, kitchen waste, etc., will sit out there for another week.
Even as I write this, I have to laugh at myself. Your biggest issue with your husband is that he didn't take out the garbage? As we've been prepping our house, though, I've started to resent more and more that most of the clutter is his. It's a control thing. I can get working on many of the things I can get done myself, but I have to wait for him for much of this stuff. It drives me nuts! If it were up to me, I would pitch the whole lot of it. His office is a disaster zone.
Oh, and Tyler has reverted from one ravenous night awakening to two. Great. I think my stock has just gone down in the competitive mommy world. Does your son sleep through the night yet? Oh, really? Too bad for you. Mine has slept through the night since the womb!
Goodness, I'm ornery.

That all sounds very stressful. No wonder you're ornery. Though, my sympathy could also be related to the fact that my husband is the packrat in our relationship as well. And it drives me nuts.
I hope the decision to sell the house is a happy one and not a necessity one.
I think regressing in the sleep category is normal, although my baby seems to be pretty much the worst (last night, at 2 wake-ups, was a good night). Apparently people only talk about when their babies are sleeping well, and they hide it when the babies are not.
Where are you going when you sell the house? Why are you moving?
Jonah has had periods of good night sleeping (like the past few weeks) and periods of up every 3 hours. I don't think babies were meant to sleep through the night. No matter how many books or methods there are, they just do what they want to do.
Hi there!
Wow its been ages since I visited blogs because I'm a new mom myself.
I so get you on the garbage issue. I get all nervous and nagging the night bins go out.
Good luck with the house packing, sale etc. Lots of major stressful changes.
I have never had one of those children that will sleep through the night instantaneously. Yet all my friends seem to have them. I think they're either liars, or have really bad hearing.
My 3 month old recently reverted from 1 feeding to 5. I'm ornery right along with you.
