That’s The End Of This One

Many of the Sunday Stealing memes are broken down into parts because they are so long, and this one is no exception.  Here’s Part 3 of what Sunday Stealing has dubbed the Never Ending Meme.

Today we ripped off a blogger named Tense Teacher of the blog Tense for a Reason. (Yes we know that we’ve ripped her off not so long ago as well. It’s pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that’s where we live as a thief). Also, it’s long so we’ll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time.Take the time to comment on other player’s posts. It’s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

We’ll Take It Easy

I so wanted to be a cleaning machine today. I wanted to finish the last of our mega organize before Ben goes back to work tomorrow, but that’s not going to happen. Ellie spent the night with her MomMom last night, and after being up half the night with a stomach bug I slept until she came home at noon. I feel pretty ran down, so I’m going to take it easy.

I’ve got some shoe boxes of stuff to sort before they go back in the craft and supplies cabinet. There is a lithium ion rechargeable battery box that I really need to go through. I need to charge up some of the batteries in the stack of electronic toys on my dining table that aren’t working, and then I need to see if there are any rechargeable batteries I need to add to my shopping list.  I know we don’t have enough AA’s now that we’ve got smoke detectors that use those, too.   I can probably get rid of some of the 9 volt batteries because we really have no use for those anymore.

Then I’ll probably spend the rest of the day being lazy with Ellie watching Disney movies.  She seems to be coming down with a virus or something, too, so she’s already curled up on the couch.  She’s got a rash on her back that is now spreading across her trunk (slightly raised flesh colored pimples), and now she sounds a bit croupy and acts generally ran down.  I think I’ll give the doctor a call in the morning and keep her resting for the day.  A lazy day might do us all some good.

My Bed Is Already Calling My Name

MilesMan have I had a hard time keeping my eyes open today.  As I sit here I feel my lids wanting to slip to the closed position, and it’s only 4:15pm.  Ugh.  We can thank Ellie for my lack of energy.  She apparently sucked all of mine out of me when she became a ball of energy at 1am (and I hadn’t even made it to bed yet).  She insisted she couldn’t sleep because she’d rather jump up and down on her bed.  I tried to get her to go back to sleep, tried putting her in bed with me, and all she did was slap me on the cheeks repeatedly telling me to “get up Mama!”  Apparently she forgot it was the middle of the night. 

When she did finally go back to sleep it was 4am, and we both got to sleep ‘til 6:45am, but she woke up again when she heard Ben getting ready for work.  He stumbled out the door on barely a bit more sleep than I’ve had, so I’m sure he’s had a rough day at work.  I honestly feel like we have a newborn in the house again.  Am I really ready to go through all that again so soon?

You’d think that lack of sleep would have her passing out hardcore for an early nap, but it didn’t happen.  She’s only slept 45 minutes today, and I tried my best to close my eyes.  Unfortunately I kept one of my funny mugs filled with coffee all morning, so I was a bit wired when she did pass out on me.  Right before she passed out she had a temper tantrum because she didn’t have a mug like mine.  She tossed her sippy cup at my head, so I made her stay in her crib for a bit.  I was thankful she fell asleep even if I didn’t get to catch any zzz’s.  Now she’s wide awake, and my coffee buzz has worn off.  I’m contemplating making a fresh pot to keep me awake for a few more hours.  Maybe if I promise to buy Ellie her own funny mug she’ll actually let us all get some sleep tonight.
