A newborn and a toddler .. I just need to vent
Been a mom isnt an easy task, mostly when you have a toddler and a newborn, my daughter is 2 and is very energetic, im tired and sleepy 
my newborn sleeps in the day and decided that at night was a better time to be awake, so when I am done with the toddler , I start with the newborn.. Is there ever any break for me? My husband tries his best to help me out but he is all day at work , ugh it has only been a week and it feels like a really long time.. I need some rest , I feel like screamimg and I dont even have the strength to do that, I just want to sleep at least for 5 straight hours maybe even 4 ... ugh!!!!!! Ooook im done complaining

@Damiens_Mommy omg you are going to be in my situation
obviously i don't know exactly what you do, so all i can do is offer some suggestions and hope that something helps, even just a little....
make sure in the middle of the night you keep as many lights off or dim as possible. do not talk to baby or turn on the tv. nothing stimulating. once baby is fed, burped, and changed go ahead and place baby in crib or bassinet and pat their back or bottom to the beat of your heart. and swaddle them too.
just after my oldest went to bed at night i would get some crackers and a juice cup ready for her, then in the morning i would allow her to come sit on my bed and eat, drink and watch a show or two while i layed there, sometimes she would even allow me to catch a wink or two of rest.
my oldest was TERRIBLE at naps. getting her to bed at night was enough of a fight, let alone during the day. so in the middle of the day, after lunch i required "quiet time." of course if she will nap, or stay in her room that is best. but my girl refused, it was a nightmare. so i required her to sit and play quietly OR watch a movie. and for 2 hrs she had to be quiet- no running, screaming or active play. that way she was able to give her body somewhat of a rest. and i fully admit to taking long drives to get her to sleep just so i could come home- leave baby in the car seat and put my daughter on the couch as i slept on the floor by the baby. i hope something helps.
GOOD LUCK!
@ArmyMommy I have though of getting a job soon too, but I suffered so much when I had to give birth because for the first time my 2 yr old was away from me that I dont think that I can deal with leaving her and the newborn to go work
