maybe it’s a brain cloud. where’s my volcano?
tonight i had a beer with dr daddy during zoë’s power hour (and a half) of not prepping for bed. there was a crazy commotion involving a nursing pillow, a glow worm and zoë being a trapeze artist (minus the trapeze of course) and i dodged my legs, which were stretched out from the pillow i was sitting on, on the hard wood floors, from tripping her. fast. knocking the beer with my knee. into my (now chipped) front tooth. awesome.
also, dr daddy told me today that zoë has gotten a new tooth in the past few days. it’s hiding a little behind the ridge and there was no signaling bump of it’s arrival. i felt like a bad mom, saying, “what? where? when did that happen?”
but no, even though it’s through now, it’s not a source for the problem of her recent sleeping problems. today was day 5 of crapulent napping. no nap in the crib at all. when dr daddy came for his visit with her, he took her for a stroll and she was OUT. for the whole time of like, 45 minutes.
then she stretched herself out until ten minutes ago.
did i mention that she got up (the second time) at 5:13 and then (the final time) at 6:03? the last two days, i’ve resorted to bringing her to bed with me in the early am hours cuz she’s not down with solo sleepin anymore. i get it sista. it’s nice to be able to stretch out and all and not have anyone kick ya, but sometimes, you just need another body there.
i didn’t get to sleep until after 2. insomnia. ugnh.
tonight is the blanket experiment, day 2. it has gone into the crib with her. i really fear suffocation. but i’m paranoid like that cuz i’m the only parent i know whose kid actually sleeps without a blanket, pillow, stuffie, bumper or anything. it’s sheet and that’s that.
now to eat some popcorn and continue the database boring madness . oh i should also mention that stargirl forwarded me an ad from craigslist today, for a company looking for someone to build a database for them. she’s always looking out for me, like that.
and i applied for it. i may be stupid – no not stupid, just too interested in money to not accept mind-numbing boredom. this one pays higher than the rate that i charge. so that’d be sweet.
i am still hooked on the garden state soundtrack and right now am listening to “let go” by frou frou. it makes me think zen and positivity and such as that.
