I had a great day today! Hopefully that great day will carry over into a great night.
As some of you know, our baby, A, has been what some would call a bad sleeper for the past couple weeks. He’s been increasingly waking more and more. Last night, he woke at 10:00, 1:40, 2:40, 3:10, stayed up until about 5, woke again at 5:30, and 6:30. At 6:30, I finally brought him to bed with me until 7:45 when he was up for the morning.
Needless to say, after a couple nights of this, one becomes rather exhausted. I add this to chasing a teething, sick with a cold toddler, and it makes for some long days. Until now, I’ve been a little hesitant to ask for much help. Partially it’s because I didn’t want to ask, but the other part is that honestly sometimes it’s easier to just do it myself.
Yesterday, I was a little disappointed that my husband had to work today, and I wanted to do something different. So, Jason called his mom to see if she would be around today. She was around, so the boys and I drove down to visit her.
I know there are lots of people who are not blessed with supportive, loving, and most importantly normal in-laws, but I fortunately have all of the above. My in-laws are wonderful people, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. The best part about today was that both of the boys got the attention and spoiling that they needed while I got a little time to run errands and do shopping that I had been putting off for far too long.
So, we returned home tonight, spoiled, loved, and refreshed. What a nice day!
