Boring
Sorry people, no pictures of the baby yet. I think Kari is coming home today though so hopefully she will get a chance in the next couple of days to add some pictures to her Blog. I have seen a couple pictures on my phone though and she looks just like her daddy!!
So, Keith is leaving at some point this week to go to a training exercise for three weeks. On Friday when Emily gets out of school I am plopping her hiney in the Prius (I named her Glenda, as in the good witch on Oz, as in MY good Bitch... I know, I am a geek), and we are headed for a road trip to New York. I figure with Keith gone and a new baby in the family that it makes total sense! So, I guess I am pulling an all nighter. I am hoping to be on the road by 4. That means I will be pulling up in my parents driveway around 4 or 5 am. Yippee...doesn't sound like fun?I figure on Saturday I will basically be in a coma all day after traveling for 13 hours by myself all night with a three year old and two dogs. So on Sunday I will go and see the new little bugger in the family. I can't wait!
So, I or we I should say, have created a sleep monster. Or a monster who doesn't sleep, or a monster who has really bad sleeping habits... however you want to look at it. Basically Emily doesn't nap anymore. (I still try once in a while but it is pointless) So, she is up all day and wound up and hyper until around 5 O'clock when she becomes the she devil. Usually after she eats she is pretty good, goes and plays then by 7 she is ready for a movie to watch in my bed. It is my way of getting her to sit still and shut up before putting her to bed since she does not allow me to read to her at all. Anyway, she has been falling asleep while watching the movie which is good. The fucking horrible part is that on the off chance that we just put her to bed without a movie she refuses (Okay, has a meltdown), to go to bed by herself. Anyway, while she is asleep I sneak her in her bed. Here is the other thing... By 11:20 is sneaks back in bed with us. It wouldn't be so bad IF she slept like a normal human being but she doesn't! She sleeps with her head pushed in on my stomach and her feet pushed up under Keith's. This leaves Keith and I on the edge of the bed hoping that we do not fall off. Normally after she falls back asleep I pack up my gear and head for the couch. I know you are thinking " Why don't you just put her back in her bed when she falls asleep?" Because I although Em might be asleep her inner devil is not and when I TRY to pick her up to put her back the devil screams like a banshee. Is that a good enough reason for ya?
Some may say that I am spoiling her and to those people who are probably people with out a children (I know because I was one of those people),I say this, I JUST WANT TO FUCKING SLEEP! Sometimes you do what you have to do and this is what I fucking have to go through every night to get some damn sleep!!
So I am totally loving my new car... the gas mileage is incredible. The drive is smooth... I love the look inside and out. I got my dual headrest installed. LOVE IT. Of course Toyota probably hates me but whatever. It cost them 2 thousand bucks...I must really be a bitch because they are STILL calling me every couple of days to make sure that I still love everything. I just refuse to walked on anymore or taken advantage of and I know now after Keith being gone so much that I can handle things for myself. Even my friend Frannie said I am a scary bitch sometimes (Not to her), and she is from NY City...
I brought Keith (More or less made him go with me), to a riding lesson since he had the day off. God has a sense of humor people... I finally took the plunge. Literally. I fell or got bucked, whatever, off the horse. I won't get into the long story as to why but basically the horse fell and got pissed that I was hanging on for dear life and pulling on his reins to hard. I was concerned about getting stomped on afterwards and Keith was concerned that my old ass broke something. I saw a bit of fear in his eyes...LOL God forbid he has to cook because I can't with a broken arm....Hehe. Nothing broken, just sore. Very sore. The good news is that I got it over with and I am not scared of it or fearing it if you will. It's good to get that out of the way.... Besides entertaining God and Keith... I am still loving it, everything about it.
Well, I guess my ass better go and do something for day... Later
