Sooooo tired

 

Here’s an email I wrote to meredith this morning, thought it was enough to post up.

ugh, what a night :-(
Here's how it went.
Rienna first woke up at about 2-3ish, complaining that she was cold, ok, ac was on, i'll just turn it off.
*buzzer sound* wrong!
She complained like hell and woke up thian, so I just covered her back up again and tucked the blankets in and went with that, she complained a little but I told her thian was sad, go to sleep and she did.
Went in, changed thians diaper. Now that he was awake he seemed to be having some teeth pain, must be getting a new tooth in, he's been doing that a bit more lately. Fine, got him some tylenol, back to sleep for me.
I wake up again at about 4 this time.
Rienna is up and cranky again. Fine, put her back in bed, cover her up, give her an extra blanket.
In my half awake daze I also try to shut off the AC again, stupid me. This sets off a chain reaction with rienna of whining and eventually I turn it back on. No way to comfort her without it. Odd because just a few weeks ago she was scared of it being on O.o
anyways, I try to leave and now it's the normal bed time " I want a hug, I want a kiss, I moved you need to tuck me in, now I want a kiss, now a hug, I want bear, no I don't want bear, I want baby"
Arrrgghh.
Eventually I get her to sleep and I go back into the bedroom and pass out.
In my dream I faintly hear the alarm, but then it's gone quickly enough.
Eventually I wake up on my own at about 7:10 going WTF something is wrong. Yeah, the whole "not being late" part of my brain was shouting angrily at the rest of my brain for not listening to him....sorry Late Man, I was tired.
Thankfully Rienna was still asleep and as such wasn't downstairs in danger or anything. /sigh of relief.
Crazy kids.
Today, im going to take a nice long bath and maybe a nap.
Yeah...that'll be nice.

Dora the explorer…more like Dora the Thief!

 

 

Heh, ok, so i haven’t written a blog in awhile, I have been really busy with the kids, however, something happened today that I thought was so funny that I HAD to write it down for all to see.

Ok, so here’s how it goes:

I was laying Thian down on the ground and was changing his diaper when Dora the Explorer came on. Rienna got really excited and ran over to the TV yelling, “Dora!!!”

Ok, normal so far. Then Swiper appeared on the tv and rienna again yelled out, “Swiper!”. For those of you who don’t know, Swiper is the Raccoon/fox/whatever the hell he is on the show, and he basically steals stuff, and Dora + the rest of the cast have to stop him before he does.

Anyway, so I’m changing Thian and I barely noticed that rienna was moving really slow, shuffling her feet going past me. Then she comes up around me on the other side and goes right next to Thian. Then, just like in the show, she slowly moved her hand towards the toy I had given Thian to play with and then snatched it out of his hands. After that she started to shuffle away again, but I stopped her, and not picking up on what exactly she was doing other than taking Thian’s toy, said to her, “Rienna! don’t take thians toy, that was very naughty!”. At that point she said, “but im swiper! swiper!”

I just cracked up laughing because it all came together and actually made sense. I tried to explain to her that playing swiper was bad, because swiping other peoples stuff isn’t cool.

Ahhh, children, it’s the small things that turn out to be gems, lol.
