Did I manage to sleep today till my alarm went off at 7:15? I did not. Getting up at 5:30 does give me some quiet time, but I could use some more sleep. This morning I have the every-other-month music and worship committee meeting at 9:00. Our goal is to complete our review, planning and hymn selection work in two hours, but the last two meetings have been much longer. I need to spend time at the organ, too, so I will be at church all morning.
The first two days back at work passed. Thursday es didn't nap, so by 3:30 or so she was pretty cranky, which I did not handle well. And ec decided he didn't want to take a bottle, and didn't eat till E finished work. For several days he has slept during the day and been up frequently at night to eat. He is a bit young to begin solid foods, but if this continues E may give him rice or oat cereal in the evening to see if it helps him sleep longer. When I arrived home, Randy said, "You look tired," a true statement of how I felt.
Yesterday was better in some ways. The screen guy made bug screens for two windows in the den, which created a lovely fresh feel as we left windows open to the fresh breeze. We allowed es to stand on the back of the couch so she could watch him at his trailer/workshop parked on the street. Randy was present all day to help, as necessary, with that and also with the two men from the contractor who were doing measured drawings of the house. They came about 10:15 and left at 7:45, staying much longer than expected. So when it came time to nap, we put es in "MommyDaddy bed," because that was the first room measured; James's litter box is in there, and he needed to be kept out of the way. Plans to attend an open-air concert with Brayden and his parents provided needed incentive for napping, I think. While ec did take a two-ounce bottle, that was his limit apparently. We will keep trying next week.
I think having this short work week was good. We'll see how next week goes!
