I GOT A NAP!!!! :D

Awesome weekend with the folks. Once again they were wonderful and helped J and I out a lot with caring for the Boy. Who, by the way, is still getting up in the night, but not as much as he used to. It’s also for different reasons, too. He used to wake up screaming in pain 5 times a night. Last night kinda went like this:

11:30pm Wah! WAH! = Mommy, I have to toot. Please flip me and twist me until the gas has worked itself out. *FFFRRT*

12:30pm WAH! WAH! WAH! = Mommy, I have to go pee. I’m not going to tell you that though until the front of you feels very warm and you put me down. Then I will water the mattress and pillows until you jam the urinal jug in front of my wang to catch several more gallons of liquid. I will then fall asleep on your shoulder as Daddy changes the bedding and gets new pillows.

4:30am – waaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! = Mommy, I am cold, please add to the sheets on top of me. I then will drift back to sleep with no other issue.

7:30am – “Mommy? MOMMY? MOMMY? MOMMYMOMMYMOMMYMOMMY! = I am ready to get up now. Get your lazy butt out of bed and take me to my computer and TV. Don’t forget the chocolate milk for breakfast. By the way, “I like you Mommy!”

I am hoping for maybe one less waking tonight as I’m starting back to normal hours at work. Eight to four baby! I am going to feel like a massive rotting pile of compost!

The wonderful part of the weekend was Mom and Dad did something hugely nice for J and I. They bought us an air conditioner. Or loaned us…basically they put it on their Sears card until we feel we can pay them back. Since we know J’s job is going to be maybe disappearing in the next 6 months we have really tightened our belts. The plans to replace the two windows, to put in A/C units, were canned due to cost ($2300 for them both). The windows we have currently will not fit standard A/C units, as they are almost 30 years old. The one that Mom and Dad got us is a “portable” unit that is not mounted in the window. It sits in the office like a large dehumidifier with tubes going out the window. Dad put a large piece of plywood in the space and cut a hole so it is all nice and tight. It should cool most of the house, but even if it doesn’t get up to the bedrooms at least J will be able to work the summer in the front office of fiery-heat.

HUGE thanks goes out to my parents!

Anyway, it’s about 10pm. Must go try to get some sleep before the first call from the slave-driver happens.

Nighty-night!
