Okay, I just had to brag for a minute. Yesterday was awful (no, that’s not the brag). Johnathan is in New York and Kylie is at band camp, so I was here all by myself. Not a big deal. I love having alone time. However, Mallory was not having a good day which translates into mommy not having a good day. Last night, I fed her around 8:00. Usually, she goes to bed after that feeding. Well, she was not interested in that at all. I rocked and patted that child for an hour with no luck. I turned off the tv and the lights to get rid of any stimulation. Nothing worked. She just stared at me. So finally, I decided to lay her down. Just a couple of weeks ago, she was able to put herself to sleep like that. That arrangement lasted about 10 minutes. I was on the phone with Johnathan when she started wailing again. It was so frustrating, I couldn’t even finish our conversation. I got off the phone in tears. I picked her up and went upstairs to watch tv…and the little snot feel asleep. I just held her until it was close to time to feed her again. I laid her down, and she lasted until around 11:00. I fed her again and this time she was asleep by the time we finished (I love it when that happens). But the good news is that she didn’t wake up until 5:30 this morning. Woo hoo! I feel almost human with that amount of sleep.
Apparently, free time is over. I’m being paged again. Guess what Johnathan gets to do when he gets home tonight. ;)
