9/29/10 - TIRED

Well, I'm beyond tired today! Let me just tell you, nighttime is somewhat of a disaster around here. Amelia has been getting up once during the night again, maybe a growth spurt? Olivia has had a bit of a cold going on, so she's been crying out a couple of times at night (she just goes back to sleep). I can deal with those two waking me up. Christian snores so bad, it drives me absolutely crazy (he would love that I'm sharing this with the world), but usually with a few kicks and pushes he'll stop long enough for me to fall asleep. But, last night Rico was out of control! See, the cats usually sleep with us, but with Amelia in our room right now, we don't let them. Every once in a while one of them will rebel against that. Tonight, Rico did just that. He sat outside the door crying and scratching on the door. Every time I would go out to yell at him, he'd run away...then come right back after I shut the door. Finally, I sent Christian off to deal with him. That didn't help either. He eventually just gave up, but not after completely waking me up. Dumb cat.

As far as today, we had another good day. Amelia napped great again, let's hope this lasts [knock on wood]! I finally returned the DirecTV boxes today (we switched to Dish Network last week to save some money), and spent most of the day in the garage doing clean up. It looks great now....everything is organized and all of the JUNK is gone. Let's see how long it stays that way though...I also cleaned up the kitchen, scheduled some upcoming appointments and spent a little time on the computer! YAY, a productive day :)

After playing, dinner and baths, Christian decided it would be a good idea to let Olivia try on her Halloween costume. Of course she didn't want to take it off, it was hilarious. She would have been way too hot in it overnight, so we did finally manage to get her out of it...it was quite a battle though. At least we know she'll be happy to wear it on Halloween [obviously the bright teal PJ's won't be accompanying the outfit] :)
