The MomGate MG1

So yesterday wasnt a conducive day for doing much of anything... DD was feeling ill and wanted to be held and comforted... which is unlike her - normally she is happy as a clam playing in her bouncer or on her playmat or even just watching her brother run around like crazy... well since she was so eager for mommy's attention... DS got jealous. Normally he LOVES his baby sister... but yesterday when the only way I could get DD to stop crying was to lavish her with attention and singing... DS decided he wanted to be a baby too.

So I was hanging on by a thread yesterday... of course bedtime wasnt any better... while DS had a tummy bug, GG explosive poo and low grade fevers... at least he went to bed without too much of a fuss after he got his book. DD on the other hand... was so exhausted she couldnt sleep. Or rather... she'd sleep for 20 minutes then wake up screaming like a banshee.

I couldnt even nurse her to sleep... she would just kick and kick and kick and kick... I have two bruises on my ribcage starting. Heck she kicks in her sleep now. Not sure if this is because she is on the verge of scooting around or what... but yikes.

Anyway... due to the craziness of the day I never did get to post our dinner for Tuesday... and tonight I am just getting some take out because I am too tired to fight cooking with a toddler who just wants to help...
And by helping... yesterday he opened a cabinet on my shin and dropped a bowl on my foot... blech
