I've been quiet, sorry. Not much to report.
Operation Wean and Sleep procedes at a snail's pace. He's back to nursing after daycare--will adamantly say NO! if offered a bottle and I really don't want to make it a huge battle--but is doing better over night. A boob/bottle combo, mostly. Past two nights involved LONG waking stretches, but he's battling a cough. And both nights pulled off his diaper. Through a onesie. Called "uh oh, uh oh" when he realized he was soaking in pee. Yay. Last night also involved vomiting up breastmilk. At least we slept until 7:40 (and were almost late) I'm writing him a story about weaning; my goal is to have no night feeds by the time I go back to work in the fall (21 mo) and then cut him off entirely by age 2. I'm really done with nursing. Really done. But hard to cut him off from the source of calories he likes best.
Had a lot of appointments about home repair projects. Still haven't decided about AC. I did decide I need to take care of things that cause me stress, like the weeds in the yard and the fussy light in the bathroom and windows I don't open because they have peeling lead paint in the interior and I don't want cats/kids getting in there (lack of AC doesn't cause stress, just some crabbiness in the evenings). Money should be used to deal with stress, it seems to me. At least today.
I've had a fairly productive week work-wise--finished the book prospectus and contacted potential contributors, started a new chapter, mostly finished an old chapter--and today am having a slow-poky day I am spending mostly in bed. I got Tiny Boy's cold and it is a doozy. One of those ones that slams you in the chest and leaves you with absolutely no energy.
I got a new cell phone, because the other one was about 7 years old and really didn't hold a charge anymore (no, I don't actually USE a cell phone, now that I'm not a fertility patient; we still have a landline as primary phone) and it was really cheap. But has all the camera/video features that makes a 9-year-old happy. So LG is taking lots of pictures of herself in the car.
I think that's all. Now I'm going to go read things. How are you, dear readers?

Money should be used to deal with stress. I LIKE IT. (I'm using money to deal with stress right now by staying in a hotel for a night!) And I also like the crazy head contraption (helmet?) and the pink lawn mower?
ReplyDeleteBunny, is that YOU in a hotel, sans family?
ReplyDeleteYes, LG's helmet, goggles, and wrist guards. Hand-me-down pink lawnmower. Now while I clearly have no problem letting my son use pink toys, I do have a philosophical objection to the EXISTENCE of a pink lawnmower. WTF?
Such a cute pic. Glad LG is getting use of your new toy!
