So.... it's 1:30 in the afternoon and it already feels like 9pm. Fortunately or unfortunately I stayed up until 1:30am talking to a friend that I hardly get to talk to anymore. It was definitely worth it, but I'm paying for it today. I'm exhausted! We had to be out the door fairly early this morning for an appt. and nothing went as planned. Melanie was fussy, Deklan was fussy, both of their diaper bags were empty which meant I couldn't just throw in whatever we were running low on- I had to start over, I couldn't find anything to wear that didn't either torture my sunburn or look too scrubby, John was running late leaving so I didn't have his help to remedy any of this and above all else, I just don't feel well today. Cramps should be illegal. I had forgotten how bad these cramps can be sometimes! All I want to do is curl up in bed and wait them out. Unfortunately I had to drag a fussy, screaming baby and an overly-dramatic one and a half year old to the WIC office today to get our fingers pricked for hemoglobin levels. Then... one of the WIC ladies didn't come to work today so all of the appointments were overbooked which meant we waited in a teeny tiny waiting room for over an hour BEFORE we could go get pricked. *sigh* It was an eventful morning. Melanie who is normally very well behaved (or at least most of the time) decided it was a good time to THROW herself down into a screaming crying fit in the middle of the waiting room when it was FINALLY our time to go in. Another lady told her son not to watch Melanie because she didn't want him to pick up any of her bad habits. It's always nice to hear that coming from a stranger's mouth. And so nice of her to whisper so I wouldn't overhear... lol.
On the way home Melanie fell asleep in the car- but not until the last 5 minutes of the drive. It was about lunch time so I couldn't decide whether or not to feed her before I put her down for a nap or not. I tried to go ahead and lay her down and she went willingly at first. It wasn't until I'd just finished feeding Deklan and had JUST fallen asleep myself that she decided maybe nap time wasn't such a good idea. So... I got her up and made her lunch (and some for myself too). She actually did a good job of eating, which hasn't always been the case lately. However, she's now sitting next to me screaming her head off as I type this because she wants to watch a "MOOOOVVVIIIIIEEEEE". lol I swear when did my precious little Melanie turn in to the Devil? haha. She must know that I'm having one of those days where I need her to be good.... that's why she's having one of those days where she HAS to be bad. :0) I love my life. haha.
Anyway, suppose I better go play mother for a while. How many more hours until John gets home from work tonight? oh yea... 9 more hours. Can't wait! :-)
