The Worst Nite

[TinkerbellSwt]

ok, on average this probably doesnt classify as the WORST nite, but it wasnt a good one that led to a cruddy day. Last nite I was online until about midnite, which is almost unheard of for me, with Colin I am in bed by 9. But alas, I was reading and such so I stayed up. When I went to bed I only took my regular meds and my valium, no sleeping pills. It was late and if I took them I would have slept until 3, if I had only known then!!! I laid in bed, rather peacefully thanks to the valium, until about 2am, when Colin started fussing, so I got up and went to him as it was like he had a bad dream. I picked him up and took him to the rocking chair and began rocking him. He pretty much fell back asleep, then OUR nitemare began.

I place him in his crib ever so gently as not to stir him too much, and kaboom, the side of his crib just falls off!!! The whole moveable rail side was on the floor. I thought I must be dreaming. How does a crib that is made to certain speificaitions by law, just fall apart???? Well it did. I went and woke hubby and told him, he thought I was just crazy. He came into the room and couldnt believe it. Also realize by now, Colin is FULLY awake, and began crawling around the room. We tried for two hours to fix it, then I finally saw in my sleeping stupor, (oh, maybe I should mention that I gave up just before Colin woke up and took half a sleeping pill) a huge plastic beige piece on the floor under the crib! Unfixable! Now we had to set up Colin in his pack and play to sleep, which isnt the most comfortable of things.

I call the crib maker today, being Simmons they told me they could get the piece out to me for a mere 8 dollars with 7-10 day shipping. ummm... should I pay b/c their crib broke? nope. and for 7-10 days, where is my child to sleep for that time??? oh now they can rush it to me, all free of charge. gee thanks. now I am worried that when its fixed, what if Colin decides to be a bed jumper? He doesnt do it now, but what if?? I dont know what to do.. the only good thing about the rest of the day, is Colin let me snooze a lot, I needed it, and ninis chicken nuggets. Its our usual Monday nite dinner as dad bowls so me and Colin share them with some ranch dressing.. ummm... made me feel better anyway!

Thanks for listening to me complain!!!

this happened to me when i was babysitting once and it really sucks

the girl is 3 so she has a raduated crib with one side that does up and down. I put her to sleep at 7 and then the other 3 girls and I were watching Harry Potter on DVD and there was this giant crash in her room and we all ran it and realized that she had tried to jump out of her bed and the graduated crib side had cracked in 2 and was broken all over their room. it was very traumatic for the little girl and she didn't go back to sleep until her parents came back.

i hope that you get some sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow.

Argh! How nerve-wracking! I am glad that Colin was not hurt!
