Aug. 30th, 2009 11:47 pmM and I are sitting here trying desperately to pretend that if we don't acknowledge it, it will stop being bedtime. Past bedtime. So far it's working. Woohoo!
Would I qualify as slightly off my rocker if I admitted that we drove an hour today in order to go to a Kmart? There's a Kmart here in town but it was not doubling coupons (up to $2!!) because it is evil and bad and mean. I fear, actually, that I am part of the reason why they stopped doubling coupons. (Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you..etc etc.) Anyway, we went to Kmart and a good time was had by all. If by "all" I mean "me" and "definitely not M". M thought it was a tiny slice of Hell. In my defense, I all but begged him to go to another store and come back and pick me up, but he resisted. We were in there for two hours, plus half an hour at customer service. (I ultimately told her to forget it, and left even though I would probably have gotten five bucks back. The natives were restless.) He is a good boy, I think I shall keep him around a litlte longer.
So that was fun. For me, at least.
In other news, M has put Evelyn to bed without Mommy assistance for two nights in a row, and at her request. I had some limited success (like, three or four times) at getting her to nap without the nummy nummy recently,but now trying it makes her cry. I am finding the whole weaning process hard.. not emotionally. I am completely ready (though I know it'll be sad when it is completely over.) It's just that Evelyn really loves it, and she is really resisting giving it up, and she has also made herself a strong sleeping connection. So, yeah, I know that I shouldn't have let her start that way back when she was tiny, but I did and now I am dealing with the consequences. So, that she has wanted Daddy two nights in a row... that's kind of huge.
M has finally decided to be a mature adult, and he has turned his computer off and gone to bed, so I guess it's my turn to give in and go to bed as well, as much as I hate to. I wish I required less sleep.
