So glad to have this day behind me
(wait, there are a about two hours left
---surely they will be better than
the rest of this smelly day, right?).
Don't you love the roller coaster of emotions you get from me? One day we're climbing every mountain, forging every stream, praising God and telling jokes. The next day we're playing a dirge and slumping in the depths.
I had a minute this morning, before the crying marathon, on the computer here where I went back to look at my posts last February. I was wondering exactly where I was at then. That was pre-pregnancy. I believe that was even pre-medical issues. And what was I doing? The same thing that I do most of the time. Being happy one minute, and griping and whining the next. At least I am consistent about that.
Actually, last year on this day I was all happy about the spring-like weather we were having. Not the case today. We had a spurt of snow at some point during the day. I think that's when I was cat-napping this morning. I was SO TIRED all day. And you'd think I'd be LESS tired now that the nights are getting better. But no. I could hardly get going this morning. And then as soon as I did get going,
I needed a snooze.
It actually happened like this:
I read a couple of chapters of a book
to the kids and then they got sent off
in different directions to do this and that.
And I was still sitting there where
I was reading....and the next thing I know,
I was waking up.
I had just dozed off.
Or else a vase fell on my head
and rendered me unconscious....
But there was a crying marathon this afternoon.
It started just after two. There were actually periods of quiet when the crier, exhausted from his efforts, fell asleep. But he was able to rouse himself again and again. And I'm telling you, he really put effort into this thing. He gave it his all.
Don't start asking me if this or that was wrong with him.
I checked everything I could think of and
I don't know what the deal was. I wish babies came
with codes (like your car, you know) where you
can just plug in some tool to find out what the
problem is. At least until they can talk.
Wouldn't that come in handy?

So I'm going to go to bed now
instead of lolly-gagging around on the computer.
Must stock up on all the sleep I can get.
I can't keep snoozing off in the middle of the day.
Too much to be done!

I wish I could have been there to hold the little crier and give you a moment of peace to snooze. Your little body needed a little rest today and it was a cold dreary day, too. We had beautiful snow here last night and this morning it was still white except on the road that was slushy! Rest. I'm off to catch a nap too. Shh...
You are so right. If babies only came with yellow lights that signal a specific need that would make them happy.
Hush little baby don't say a word...
