Thanks!
Thanks everyone for your comments. Honestly, I've started similar posts like the last one several times in the last few weeks but ended up erasing them because I felt guilty/ embarrassed complaining about my son. I had no idea how much it would help my sanity to be honest about how I'm struggling and didn't realize how much I would benefit from hearing from friends. Thank you. Now stop worrying (Mom) and know that I am fine!
I have written out a schedule for Jonny and am sticking to it. I agree, I think it will help a lot. Since Jonny was little little I put him on a schedule. It's just been these last few months that his sleeping habits have been off and so the schedule went down the drain. It's time to get back into the routine.
I've also always let Jonny cry himself to sleep. Since he was a couple weeks old we set a bed time for him and taught him to fall asleep on his own. My rule was I would let him cry for an hour but no longer. I've gotten soft (or maybe more impatient) over the months and end up getting him sooner than maybe I should. Perhaps it's time to buckle down again and let im cry it out.
Honetly, these last two days have been better. If for no other reason than the fact that I I have a new determination to endure and faith that I can get through this with the Lord. Thanks again for caring about me and wanting to help (no matter how far away you are.) Love you all

Michelle,
It was validating for me to read your 'vent' post. It made me realize that I'm not the only one who struggles and wonders if I'm doing everything right as a mom. I didn't feel like I could give any better advice than what other people said, but it did make me think about what I've learned and what I believe. So thanks for the courage to talk about the challenges of motherhood. It helps us all!
