Exhausted
Really. Ex.Haust.ED. I'm going to bed in a minute, much later than I should have, but much earlier than I ever do any other night. I'm tired. So tired. Sophie is having more sleep issues, and I have a cold, and we have been running around on all kinds of errands and play dates and stuff all week, and there will be more tomorrow.
And Sophie is like a tar-baby - you just can't put her down right now or she cries. Yesterday I took her to the doctor to get her checked out because this was driving me crazy, and she is perfectly okay - just working on at least 4-6 new teeth. I lucked out and we got to see the best pediatric nurse practitioner there ever was, and she was really nice and supportive about the whole thing. Sent me home with multiple bottles of Motrin. And even so, Sophie was up a LOT last night, and I've been dipping into the sleep deprivation barrel a bit too much lately and it's all adding up. So off to bed with me even though the house is a mess and I'm not going to share with the internet the excrutiating detail of our very happy Halloween. I'm just going to show you one picture and you're going to be grateful, dammit.
I did get something wonderful and exciting in the mail today, something that I will photograph and hopefully share with the world tomorrow. Good night!

I looked at your picture, dammit! LOL You have such a good sense of humor, Shelly. When my little guy would be like you describe Sophie, it always ended up being a low-grade ear infection...always! He outgrew it, but oh boy was that challenging. May you have many good nights of sleep. Now you know where we get our grey hairs from! They begin with this kind of stuff. By-the-way, I took your advice and I'm practicing with my DPN's and I'm pretty much ready to actually knit something with them. After the initial "klutziness" of it, they feel good!
My son is 1 and have 4-5 molar coming in as well as an ear infection. Fun stuff but I won't trade him for the world.
I am finally regaining time to knit.
Great picture Shelly! Hope you get some sleep... whenever I read about the sleepless nights or hear about it from my friends with kids, I keep wondering if I'm going to be able to handle it. I must say, you're doing a great job if you can still post something!
the picture is fantastic - I love the dinosaur costume and it looks like you had a great time - hope you get some sleep soon!
Nice pic, good luck with Sophie, Gabe was similar Mon-Wed last week, Thurs the pediatrician claimed he was fine, Sunday urgent care diagnosed him with ear infection of 8 & 9 (on a 10 point scale)... and now that the meds have worked, he's back to sleeping. (not that I'm hoping she has an ear infection, just saying that with these teenies sometimes its annoying much before its measureable, and added to teeth, yikes he's been miserable).

I thought of you (well, Julie) when I was at the corner of Marshall and Cretin this morning. Mind you I'm there every morning and afternoon, but this time I was positioned in a spot to read the smaller print on a sign where a "Coming Soon" sign is advertising an opening - a place that offers "gluten-free treats for healthful living." Hope it opens soon.
Sleep. Sleep is much more important than blog. Being a rested mom is even better. We come last. We will wait. . . don't worry!
