It started at about 1am...or around there. It was pretty early and so I did not take the energy to commit the time to memory. Anyway - Liliana woke up. I kind of thought she would wake up when I put her down for bed because it was a little cooler in her room than normal. So, I put her in a potato sack, as we call them - and off to dream land we both went. Then around 2:30am began a back and forth to her room, with many attempts to try to get her to sleep through the rest of the night. She was not exactly fussy, just would not sleep and would cry if you were not in the room. Usually when she is teething she will not even let me hold her during the night, but she let me hold her alright! Which, is always cute, even early in the morning. But again, anyway...I gave her some Tylenol and put a space heater in the room and held her while the medicine did it's thing and the room warmed up a little.
4am - 2 hours of sleep remain, I crawl into bed and get all comfy cozy....and then it begins. The snoring from the husband. I ended up sleeping on the couch because I cannot stand the sound of snoring. It is this disgusting noise and any sound that is monotnous that I am not controlling drives me up a wall. It gets under my skin and just freaks me out. I am telling you - OCD!
Now I think I will just resort to a time line because it's faster and I'm tired and lazy.
6am - Get ready for work. Although what is annoying about sleeping on the couch is waking up in the morning. The second my feet hit the ground, Fizzle (our dog) comes out of the bedroom and just stands there and stares at me walking towards her. Then comes a certain point and she goes dog wild barking at me. It is ridiculous, I do not even say a word. This dog has issues.
6:30 - Head to my sister's to drop off Liliana.
7:30 - Work.
11:30ish - Head to Mom's to feed Liliana. While there I had some of the most fantastic cookies I think have ever melted in my mouth. Then had a sandwich for my lunch.
1pm - Liliana and I head over to a friend's house to sit with her for a while as she had a procedure done this morning.
4:15 - Head back over to Mom's to have dinner there to celebrate my Dad's birthday, which is today. We had a scrumptious dinner! I ate as if I had a bottomless pit to fill! In fact, after we were done eating, I said I could eat the whole meal over again right then and there - and this was before I had washed all the dinner dishes by hand because my parent's dishwasher is broken. Then I had a little birthday cake, and some more cookies!!!!!!!!
6:45 - Head home.
7 something - Feed Liliana, talk with the Hubby for a while, put Liliana to bed.
You would think that at this point, I would just meet my date for the evening - my bed. No. I proceed to go into straightening-up mode. I go through some clothes in Liliana's room and realize I really need to do some of her laundry - so I start laundry. I finish straightening up her room and empty and re-pack the diaper bag for tomorrow.
Worked on paying a few bills. Always a pleasure - as said dripping with sarcasim.
And now I have a load of laundry drying, and one washing. I am enjoying a glass of wine and looking forward to 10:17pm - the laundry should be done at 10:15pm and then I am collapsing into bed to hopefully sleep through the night just to get up at 6am. I am so thankful that tomorrow I only work half a day when I normally work a full day. I had plans to come home tomorrow and be productive, but I will probably just sit in front of the TV the whole day and night. Or, nap!
I might go read my book - but I will probably just fall asleep. I guess I will have to go eat some more cookies that my mom was so nice enough to send me home with! Mmmmmmmmm.....
Just a picture I took a little while back. Remember that when you have a marathon day, sometimes you need to slow down and enjoy it all!
