childhood hell, day 23
The little monsters conspired against us last night...
We stayed at Grandma's in OC last night. She put us in her room so that the kids would be ok. We got her to sleep by 10....he went out at 11:45 (for the "last" time until we woke up).
2 Am, she woke up from a combination of teeth pain and the fact she was in a NEW bed with NEW room and NEW sounds. I got up, calmed her down, put her back out.....and then HE woke up screaming for food and woke her back up.
SON OF A......
Anyway. End of story is, all four of us ended up in the same bed. He was cluster feeding (meaning constantly over and over) from 2 until 7:30. You do NOT sleep well with someone nursing on your breast. TRUST ME. SHE kept having a freak out every time the heater turned on (about every 35-45 minutes) and woke up screaming......usually just as he passed out.
SON OF A....
Anyway. Got up (note I did not say WOKE up....) at about 8 for homemade Fastnachts (Fat Tuesday donuts, look em up!). Got both kids kinda dressed and fed (how does a 23 day old EAT that much?). Send dad to the living room to nap on the couch. Put girl in high chair for food, then painting (hehehe. love the "only paints on certain papers" stuff). Fed boy. Kept feeding boy. Have now mastered the art of mouse-driving in WOW after 4 years of playing! used Laptop and mouse to lvl up a new character on Feathermoon. All while STILL feeding boy and entertaining girl.
Pack up to come home and vote. *I* drove home. Voted. Went to Target to buy a humidifier, since the boy has a head cold still, and I think it is mostly the dry air. Got home. UNpacked car (husband mostly, since i can't carry heavy stuff still.)
Got upstairs. Sat on floor to open humidifier.
BACK spasmed and hip went out. CRAPOLA.
Tonight, I may drug myself to sleep.
