All things considered we have been pretty lucky over the past few weeks – knock on wood. While Lili screams her head off when she isn’t sleeping during the day – at night she often does sleep for a pretty good chunk of time. Like 9:30PM until 5AM. Which is great.
Last night for the life of us she wouldn’t go down to sleep. For hours and hours we attempted to put her down but she wasn’t having it. We passed her back and forth. Attempted to feed her. Nothing worked. She just looked so exhausted and tired. If she would only keep her little eyes closed life would have been so much better. For all of us.
Around midnight we were so done. When all of the sudden my poor bleary-eyed husband glanced over and spotted a giant, oversized bag of Cadbury chocolate mini eggs candy on the living room floor – empty.
E: Um…when did you eat those?
K: Ah…(slowly realizing what I had done) around 5pm?
E: How many did you eat? Did you eat that whole bag?!?
K: Ah…kinda…?
We then both looked over at our child. She was thrashing her head to the left and to the right while kicking her legs over and over again. She looked possessed by the devil. But no. It was not the devil. It was her mother – the only woman on earth meant to care for her – who on an afternoon chocolate bender…consumed an entire bag of Easter candy. And it’s only February.
Before the hubs left for work today he emailed me to ask if he could bring me home anything.
E: Perhaps some CHOCOLATE COVERED ESPRESSO BEANS or a few cases of RED BULL???
Oops.
OK, you asked for it: I totally remember my first cappucino after giving birth to Jasper, now, thanks to you. This. Thanks alot -and so much for the amnesia, (although I probably wrote “no more caps” on the calendar that day.) I guess it’s only the “ring of fire” that you really forget in earnest.
Hmmm. Or maybe not.
Oh, and E is so Fing hilarious.
…TOO!
Oh my god, you can get mini-eggs already (runs to store!!!)? Those things are like crack.
by #2, you’ll be able to eat your bag of mini-eggs on one side while nursing the kid on the other with not even one thought as to what may come. you might even find yourself thinking what harm could it be to give the kid just one little lick…
this is from the mom who at the pharmacy today with one hollering and jumping eleven month old strapped to her person seriously contemplated putting a lollipop in his mouth to buy just a few minutes peace since it was working so well with her three year old…
