Time flew by again today. I didn't realize it was 12:30 until I thought about how hungry I felt. Then, 4:00 arrived in a flash and we closed early at work because the weather was so bad. Taking an hour off the end of the day only made it seem like the day just disappeared. Never the less, I was ready to make the journey to pick up my loves.
I think we've slowly drifted back to sleep patterns we experienced those first couple months with a brand new baby. Even though we did not just bring home a newborn baby. (Note to sister: We are in the same boat when it comes to sleep. Still.) Rushing to bed to maximize the amount of sleep we get, waking up every couple hours, rocking half asleep baby (and yourself) back to sleep, prying your swollen eyelids open in the morning. Yeah, that's us.
I am ready for E to be back to 100%. I'm noticing that the sneezing, runny nose, water eyes are slowly disappearing one by one. Now if the coughing at night would fade away we'd be much better off. The waking up four and 5 times a night is really wearing on us and our patience. Someone at work today asked, "Are you tired? You look so tired." Darn. I was feeling more awake this morning than I have in a week. On the bright side, I usually feel wide awake about noon and have much energy to finish my work day.
To make up for lack of sleep all week I think the Millers will be sleeping in a little extra this weekend. A nap sounds like an excellent idea too.
Speaking of the weekend. It's FINALLY a M weekend. We haven't seen her in 2 weeks. Yes, 2 weeks. 2 weeks feels like forever. R has some fun stuff planned for her too. I'd like to make time for crafting and hopefully open the sewing machine she got for Christmas. I also have an idea for my next crochet project to look forward too. Weekends are the best!
I hope everyone is snuggled up someplace warm tonight.
Keep Loving.
