A hard day!


Today was a difficult day. This morning went great! In fact, last night Sean and I got to spend a little time together after Jaiden went to bed. She slept five hours and then Sean went in to feed her since for some reason he was still up at 2:30am making cookies. So I got a whole 4 hours of sleep! Then I decided to see if she would sleep in a little bit. She did! She slept an hour longer than usual! So when she woke up happy, I fed her, sang, danced a little with her, did some arm and leg stretches with her, and then put her down for a nap. She went right to bed, in her own bed! Horay! I was so proud that I put her down for a nap in her own crib. Usually I have to hold her while she sleeps and Sean has the special touch that puts her right to sleep. Well, I WAS SO WRONG!! A half an hour later she woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep. So I held her for a bit and by the time she fell asleep, 30 minutes later it was time for her to eat again and she woke up! I fed her and tried to whole thing all over again. 10 minutes after putting her down she woke up. I had to run to the bank, go pay for school, and go pay for housing, so there was no getting around getting out. So I waited until her next feeding. I fed her, she burped, she was wide awake and happy, she was changed with a fresh clean diaper, then we went on our way. She did great at the bank and then at school she was doing just fine. She dozed off and then woke up. She was happy, or at least she seemed to be happy. Then she started to fuss. Then the lady at my school wouldn't stop talking. She kept showing me pictures and telling me about her daughter. Well, normally out of politeness, I would talk with her a while. But HELLOOOO, my daughter is screaming, let me go already without being rude. She has been screaming ever since. Hopefully the day will get better and she will take a real nap. She is so tired you can see it in her eyes. There she goes again. I gotta go feed her. But out of all of this, wow do I love her so much! One smile or look from her makes all the frustration and tears go away.
