Oct. 2nd, 2007 10:24 pmMuch as housewives of yesteryear, I have begun to develop a schedule for certain days. Monday is Housework Day. We are slobs over the weekend, and things build up and drive me batty. Yesterday, I cleaned all day long, and was worn out by evening. After we ate dinner, M took care of the baby for an hour and I spent that blissful time cutting out a diaper pattern I hadn't tried yet, and I did it all by myself! With no inquisitive little fingers trying to see what I am doing! I do get some time away from the baby during the day because she takes good naps, but I don't often get the luxury of not being completely and utterly responsible for her, so it felt nice. Even when she's asleep, I lug the monitor around and listen for her and go check on her and worry that she will wake up at any inopportune moment, like when my hands are in the dish water. This morning I sewed the diaper from that pattern I cut last night and it turned out fairly well, I think--it fit her nicely. Y'all have no idea what instant gratification this diaper hobby is.
I have up to ten minutes to finish this post, because it's bath time and then it will be bedtime for everyone under three feet tall. Shut up, M, I am NOT under three feet tall. Evelyn has been incredibly whiny today. I think she has had a bellyache, and consequently a bit of diaper rashy irritation... but mainly I think she was just bitching to hear her own voice. She's taken to sucking on her bottom lip and she wouldn't let go of it long enough to talk, so we got hours full of "mgraah. mgraahh. mgraah!" It was lovely, truly. I only stabbed myself in the eardrum six or seven times, that's all. She has had a few moments of utter cuteness, though, so I forgive her. I was pretty happy to see her father when he came home, though. ;) I think the human race would have died out by now if the little brats weren't so darned cute.
I transferred some pictures tonight and there were some remarkably good ones. Baby is beginning to whine (again) so I must go attend to her needs (again) and so this post is shorter than I meant for it to be (again). See the cover on the changing pad? I made that today! Yay me! Except it's a bit too big. Stupid internet instructions! I improvised by throwing more elastic at it. Again, elastic is my hero. :) Anyway, must run. Unless I get lazy, I'll do a picture post soon because I don't know if I mentioned it, but my baby is really cute!
