Beep beep beep! My morning began at 4:50 am...thank you Ryan's alarm clock. Ryan gets up, turns off the alarm clock, gets back in bed, and promptly falls back asleep. I roll about fitfully. Then it happens, I fall back asleep. Ahhh....
Mama! Mama! Mama! Groan..... I look at the clock, only 5:30. Well, at least that is better than 4:50 yesterday morning when she woke up! Seriously, teething is rough on mornings at our house. I was feeling very tired, very crabby, and NOT very ready to be a mama yet! We tromped downstairs and I proceeded to make breakfast. Of course, because Olivia is teething and it is now 5:45 am, she has to sit on my lap to eat. I stare into my cereal bowl, pregnant, tired tears clouding my eyes (pregnant because I am, not because they're big!). STOP Ehlan. You can do this, it's just another day and YOU WILL make the best of it!!!
So I did! I sucked it up! Yes, go me! Instead of laying around and being crabby and tired, I:
-Did the dishes
-Put together a lasagna for a family at our church
-Did more dishes
-Did 2 loads of laundry
-Folded 2 loads of laundry
-Changed sheets on 2 beds
-Re-filled diaper basket and wipes
-Took out the garbage
-Vaccumed the entire house
-Paid bills
-Got Olivia dressed and ready
-Got myself showered, dressed, and ready
-And in the midst: Changed 3 diapers (one nasty teething poopy ish...), made 2 snacks (cleaning makes me hungry...), read books, tickled, chased, played, and did the hokey pokey 3x.
-Oh, and got Olivia down for a nap.
Sheesh! I think I'm ready for a nap too!
