After only barely interrupted sleep last night (dehydration can be good! Not as many trips to the bathroom!) I think I might have just been exhausted, which led to my physical meltdown yesterday. I have tried to start the day off a little better, meaning that I am back to the 230 calories per serving chocolate milk (I had tried to kick it but alas, it seems to be one of the only remedies for the morning yuck) and I made myself some herbal iced tea since water alone is less than appetizing. I've been awake for nearly 2 hours (Clint offered to do the morning dog routine so I could sleep a little longer! YAAAY!) and so far I've only been a 1 or 2 on the morning sickness scale. MUCH MUCH BETTER!
My new freedom has led me to tackle some of the things I didn't yesterday, including packing up the giant baby car seat for a return to the Magic Beanstalk place. Yes, the seat, while (probably very safe), plush and very soft, didn't work with any of the stuff I had gotten from friends and relatives. When I ordered it, I didn't know that I would suddenly acquire two car seats and three matching bases made by a different manufacturer. The used car seats aren't as cushy, which Clint was quick to point out, but it didn't make sense to keep the other one when it didn't match anything we have. Here's how heavy it was: It cost $25 just to send it back! Now that it is gone, I can focus on cleaning up my desk, which I've been neglecting for at least three weeks. By the end of the day I'd like to have it all tidy... I'm posting a before photo and I'll post an "after" one if I'm successful.
So glad you got rid of the GIANT baby protective seating device. It sounded too heavy even for serious weight lifters. It's also just fine to watch movies when all else seems Just Too Much.
ReplyDeleteI DO recommend titles that don't involve any kind of sickness or any kind of motion--nuff said. Keep in mind that little babies can often be put to sleep easily on laps whilst movies play in the background. No need to rush things!
