1. I went out for supper with a girlfriend this evening and finished off our date with a walk around Starbucks, where I had a soy mocha and found some good deals on kids toys for the boys. I was so tired and grouchy and depressed today with my sleepless child, that I actually texted her to cancel and then texted back an hour later and said that I changed my mind and god dammit, I'm going to be social and enjoy myself. I'm so glad I went, rather than staying home to wallow in self pity. I'm tired as hell, but much happier than I was this afternoon!
2. ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, people, my parents will be here! I can't freaking wait!! The boys and I will be invading their space all day next Friday (their first full day at home) to hang out with them.
3. I did it. I put on makeup, and showered, and did my hairs and wore a pretty bra today. That counts for a win for sure.
4. Grayson had two naps today in his bassinet and fell asleep in there after I put him in totally awake. I did have to go in for both naps to put his soother back in more than once before he fell asleep, but still, he fell asleep. The naps were only for 20 and 40 minutes, respectively, but again, the fact that he fell asleep without being rocked, bounced, patted, nursed, etc. is a really good thing. It puts us miles ahead of where we were with Carter when we had sleep troubles with him. I could even handle the barely there naps and no free time during the day if I was getting 6-7 hours of sleep at night. It's that I fight with him on sleep both day and night that makes this really, really hard.
5. I took Grayson with me when I went for supper tonight and that left Jeff and Carter to spend the evening together. They texted me pictures of the flowers they bought me when they went to get groceries. Carter picked them out because they were "lellow." Lucky mama, I am!
Okay. Bedtime. Tomorrow is Friday. I see sleep in my future... if only I can get there!
