Sleep deprived and nothing to show for it
I feel like absolute crap today. My allergies are acting up, and the Bug has been a sleeptime train wreck for a couple of days. She's also hitting another growth spurt (!) and has been sucking the life out of me for three days straight. I can't seem to eat enough to keep up. I would go get some lunch, but she's sleeping on our bed which seems to be the only place she'll fall asleep anymore, and becuase somewhere in the back of my head I believe the Parenting Nazis, I'm afraid she'll somehow die if I am not able to reach her in a nanosecond.
I had a good weekend, though. Part of the story is available at Ennui Central, but I can cover the rest here. Saturday night, while Adam and bottomfeeder were up in Chi-town, I hung out at home with the Bug. She fell asleep early (don't worry, she woke up every three hours to eat all night long) so I got to watch Sideways again on HBO.
It's really good to see old friends. I am trying so hard to make new ones, but it's just not the same, you know? Sunday, after a hearty breakfast at the Viking Chili Bowl, bottomfeeder endured a couple hours of my feminist rantings on motherhood, then hit the road. Adam and I spent the afternoon driving by potential houses and stumbled into an open house in a pretty darn cool place. Huge rooms, lots of built-in storage, and a cool partially finished basement that reminded me so much of my grandmother's house. I don't know if we'll make an offer, I'm kind of not there mentally yet, but we'll at least mention it to the real estate agent to help her comprehend what it is we're looking for (it's not a 1950s ranch, I can assure you).
Oh, so the rest of Sunday: then there was some walking about at the arboretum in beautiful fall weather, then some dinner, then lots of crying and not much sleeping. Sorry to end on a down note. I'm just resting up today, though I suppose I'll drag myself to the gym at some point. Oh yeah, and then there's the Asian bird flu, and something about running out of oil, and lots of earthquakes and such. Sigh.
