Baby Burn Out

I've debated posting about this since I like to keep things light here on my blog but I'm really dreading spending time with Baby J tomorrow. She's been a pill over the past two days. Her demands have been relentless and it's wearing on my patience, sapping my energy. Because of my wife's schedule, I won't be getting much of a break tomorrow either. Maybe 30 minutes max.

You know the feeling you get on Sunday nights? Like the hours are just ticking by as you await the inevitable. Nothing holds your interest because gloom is looming. Tomorrow's gonna suck and there's nothing you can do about it. That's how I feel right now.

It's baby burn out.

I feel a bit guilty for having these negative feelings toward fatherhood at the moment but there's an ebb and flow to all things in this world, being a dad is no exception. Parenting, like anything else, has it's ups and downs. Tomorrow might suck but the next day might be great. Who knows. All I can say for sure is that this lassitude is temporary. And, if tomorrow is going to suck, I'm may just have to console myself with a box of Girl Scout cookies we have tucked away in the pantry.

Samoas, in case you were wondering.
