Today was a DAY.
I walked around like a lost puppy all day. I couldn't figure out what
to do with myself; I am utterly unmotivated to do anything.
I did go see my mom today! She seems to be doing much better; she's walking
around now! Only two days after getting her freaking hip replaced!!
I took little Nathaniel with me and had a great time chasing him around the room.
Little boy loves to chase and be chased and play "Where's the baby?!" It was a great
little outing for him. I love taking the boys out one at a time, I really feel like
I can bond with them.
I came home expecting to put all the babies to sleep for nap time only to find out
they had made a secret pact to refuse all things nap time. Seriously. This is a
catastrophe waiting to happen. Its not just that they wont nap, it is a domino effect.
If they don't nap at their designated nap time then they are cranky. Then they get sleepy
around dinner time and they wont eat dinner. Then they fall asleep two hours early
with no dinner and THEN they wake up in the middle of the night because
they're hungry AND THEN they're cranky all day the next day because
they didn't sleep well.
Nap. Time. Is. Crucial.
Needless to say I didn't get my run in until late late and by that time I was
just angry. What should have been a great calming run during nap time turned into a
post-dinner beat down.
I didn't even finish. Bear Bear was still awake and refused to leave me alone so I had to stop and deal with him. By that time the endorphins had kicked in so at least I wasn't mad anymore.
I cannot WAIT until it cools down and I can run outside. August is really turning into my most hated month of the calendar.
