The girls slept all night last night - after the way they went down I'm surprised. Both Hannah & Hailey threw their bears out of their cribs. After 3 attempts to give them back and all 3 times they threw them again - we just let them fall asleep without them. Hey - eventually they'll learn to hold on to them.
They woke up at 6 though...lol. Usually we can count on them waking up, talking for a few minutes and then going back to sleep for a while but since they didn't have their bears it was full speed ahead at 6. That's ok though - they slept and so did we. Don't get me wrong - we're still tired. One 8 hour night of sleep isn't going to cure our deprivation. But I'm taking it!!!
We got up and Hannah was in a horrible mood this morning. She just whined and cried for an hour straight. Even through drinking her milk and eating some cereal. Nothing I did was right for her. She wanted everything that I didn't offer her and nothing that I did offer her. She wore me down pretty quick. Eventually Pete let them help him 'cook' some French Toast. He let them crack the eggs. LOL...pic is on their blog. It's cute.
After breakfast we had appts to go look at 2 houses here in town. Neither one of them was what we are looking for so the search continues.
We got home and fed the girls lunch and then it was time for them to take naps. While they were napping Pete went out to do a few things and I was doing homework. Hannah decided 45 minutes was long enough to nap today. Usually I'm all about them skipping naptime - I can't wait until they don't nap anymore! But today wasn't a good day for short naps. Ugh. I felt like Hannah and I had been at each other for a few days so I put everything aside. Cleaning -homework...laundry - it can wait. I went and got Hannah and we just snuggled on the couch together for over an hour. She didn't sleep. I didn't sleep. We just snuggled and she barely moved the whole time. Surprisingly enough - when I did start to stir her a bit and say 'let's go find daddy' (who was upstairs at this point) she was in a great mood. We got about another hour of just Hannah time before the other 2 woke up (sleepyheads slept for over 2.5 hours).
I think Hannah needed it. I know I needed it! Then it was time for snack and play before heading over to Pete's parents house for a bday party for Titi Rosemary. Pete took the girls over there by himself so I could have some quiet time to get more homework done. Then I met them over there for dinner.
Dinner was great as usual over there. After dinner and cake we headed home so the girls could try to get to bed at a decent hour and get the rest they very much need right now. We were home and they were in bed by 7:15 (not bad since they've been going to bed around 7 lately).
And...they went right to sleep.
I had plans to go out with a couple friends but I can't leave and go out knowing that the girls are sick. I want to go. But I know I shouldn't go. So I stayed. And my friend Lucy came over before going out - just to give me a HUG because she knew what an awful few days we've had. That really is the best feeling in the world when you have a friend who knows just what you need. (well - she knows I need a drink too but since that got put on the back burner...a HUG was in order!). lol
Now I'm going kick Pete's ass in some Scrabble and Yahtzee. I hope he's ready for it!
