May 22, 2009A long day that started at 3:30 am.
I don't know if she's growing or if she had an upset tummy or what but Lil Miss was a grump most of the day. She woke up at 3:30 am (not uncommon), ate (again, not uncommon) but then refused to go back to sleep (VERY uncommon). She didn't fall back asleep until after we got home from work!
She didn't want to be put down in the late hours either -- from when she finished her bottle until about eight am, every time I tried to lay down with her or put her down to play or anything, she would scream. And her Daddy was still trying to sleep, as he had to work this morning, so we walked and bounced, bounced and walked for like four hours straight while Mommy was exhausted and wanted to cry. Luckily, she let me put her down long enough to get ready for work -- she was fussy but didn't scream. We got to work at ten am.
We left by eleven thirty. Because she started throwing a fit at eleven and I couldn't get her to stop. So I apologized to Charles (he said it was fine -- the most important stuff was done already anyway) and we came back home. She fussed on the bus ride, but didn't scream, thank goodness. As soon as we got home, the screaming started again. I had a baby screaming in my ear from the time we got home until the time I finally got her to go down for a nap (I think she finally just used up all her energy) about threeish I think. Between then and eight thirty, when she finally put herself down for the night, she would wake up to eat.
And be fussy for a good bit of the time she was awake.
She had a couple of short amounts of time where she was good for Mommy and Daddy -- that's where today's pictures come from. One of those about fifteen minutes. But all in all? It was a long freakin bad day.
Mommy is so exhausted she's too tired to sleep. Mommy's also a bit sad because her Momma's going to be in Florida in a few weeks (in Orlando) and it doesn't look like I'm going to get to see her.
I miss my Momma.
But now? Off to read and try to get some sleep. Daddy's home from seeing Wolverine now so I think it might be my bedtime.

Lil Miss in her bouncer -- she likes it. Mainly, I think, cause it has a mirror.
Your mama misses you, too. I wish I could come help whenever you need me. But I'll be there soon.
