Skip one day, fall down a well
Yesterday didn't happen, at all. I decided, shortly after we put the munchkin to bed, that I was done, pumpkinated, and went to bed myself. Around midnight, I woke up, talked to my husband, read a little, then went back to sleep. At about 5 I got up again, took a quick turn around the house, and decided that I could, and should, catch a few more hours.
So, writing - nil, exercise (other than pickup up a toddler constantly) - nil. Sleep, about 8 hours (which is rare for me.)
Of course, that meant that I was behind from the get go this morning. Waking up at 7:30 doesn't work very well with a child who regularly wakes around 7. Good thing he usually can keep himself amused before I come and get him. Plus, Thursdays are bill and pay days, and I like to start off the day by getting all of the money moving out of the way. But, we've been working on moving banks and today was the first day that the pay should have gone to the new bank... and I couldn't find it in any of the accounts! A few calls and text messages later I found out that it just posts later in the day then I'm used to, which means some adjusting on my part when it comes to pay day. Oh well, things could be much worse. Then again, trying to talk on the phone to a banker while you've got a screaming toddler trying to climb onto your lap can be pretty dicey. And, really, that was a pretty good indication of how the whole day went. (When the toddler wakes up from his nap and goes directly into a 30 minute temper tantrum, which seems to be resolved with a little BF, but escalates again as soon as the boob is removed, you know you've got a bad day on your hands.)
I'm debating about the writing tonight, since it's nearly 11 already and I'm feeling like dinner or something didn't quite agree with me. (Also, the 4th book of the princesses series is calling my name.) I did put in 15 minutes on the Wii, so at least I got back on the exercise wagon. This entry, however, will probably end up being my writing entry... and I'm not sure if you can really call it 3 pages. Tomorrow will be a bit of a different story, since the husband needs to be out, and on his way to work around 6, and munchkin doesn't get up until 7. Which means I might actually have an hour or so to myself tomorrow morning. (You learn to treasure those little moments of solitude when you've got a little one who MUST BE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. I never thought I'd be excited about being able to go to the bathroom alone, but now....)
Anyway, tomorrow is Friday. I'm looking forward to having a friend visit for a little while in the late morning. Not sure what the evening is going to look like yet. Either I'll have dinner with friends and kidletts, or we'll eat at home, and I'll get some mommy only time after the munchkin has gone to bed. Either way, I'm planning on a better day then today, and hopefully more creativity from these fingertips.
Night all!
I'm off to do a little reading about kick-ass princesses, well, kicking ass. :-)
