Well, DS is asleep and I’m dreading that will mean for this evening as it’s 4:30 right now. I had thought about doing whatever I could to keep him awake, but then I remembered that he woke up at 4 this morning, so it’s been a full 12 hours that he’s been awake. And what a day it’s been. He did well when I was up with him at 4. I had to get a snack anyways so it wasn’t to big of a deal having him up with me. But by 5:30 I was ready to go back to bed, so we tried to lay down again, but he just flopped all over the place and about 45 minutes later DH got up with him for the day.
At about 8 I was rudely awaken by DH swearing, DD sadly soaked (poor kid had a ruff night) and DS bouncing off the walls. Oy! It wasn’t a fun way to wake up. But I got up and with the irritation I was able to get some stuff done before I had my second breakfast (I rather like eatting like a hobbit while I’m pregnant). Laundry started, laundry folded and a little bit of clean up and then I had an omlet and hashbrowns. DH washed up the dishes and cleaned up a lot of the kitchen for me this morning and I was able to get laundry hung and more started (but I haven’t gotten that hung yet).
All the while we’re doing these things DS is still bouncing off the walls. He’s had a hard time calming down all day. Wasn’t able to sit down for lunch and has been so… aggressive. Not normal for him. I’m thinking of blaming it on all our activity yesterday, being out later, trying to take him to a resterant (which he just didn’t get at all and ate nothing) and a bunch of shopping that was totally boring for him. Maybe all the energy that he didn’t get out yesterday is just hitting him harder today. he even played hard outside today for a long time and it didn’t seem like it slowed him down at all. It’s been a crazy day.
But I did get a nap today and afterwards was refreshed enough to make cookies with the kids. I feel pleased with myself as usually that is entirely to overwhelming for me to even consider doing. The kids had fun making chocolate chip cookies. They were almost an epic fail as I used canola oil instead of my normal coconut oil and they were so oily that the chocolate chips (which are like baby chocolate chips and ubberly small because they are the healthy kind) wouldn’t even stick to the cookie dough and just fell to the bottom of the bowl. I found I could use a spoon to scoop up the dough and just kinda scoot it off and squish it a bit and they kinda stayed together. Weird cookies. I have plans to make more without altering the recipe next time.
Anyways, it’s been a long day. DH has been working the shop this afternoon and wont be home until sometime after 6. DS is sleeping, like I said already and will probably be up until 10 tonight knowing the way he is when he has late naps. And tomorrow we have to take off from here early with my in-laws to head to my MIL’s family Christmas gathering. It should be fun, but I have cooking to do and knitting to finish for gifts. Should be to bad, but it’s just a lot to think about. AH, the holidays.:)
