I’m starting to wonder when things will seem normal again. Porter woke up just fine today, and was his normal happy-go-lucky self. However, once I got him home this afternoon and put him down for his nap, he was hellion again. He cried on and off for an hour, and then sat in his bed playing for another hour. It probably didn’t help that he took a cat nap this morning at my grandmas. So, I got the brunt of his mixed up schedule… no afternoon nap. His day survived on a quick 30 minute nap in the late morning.
I’m sooo over his schedule being out of whack every day. I honestly don’t know how much longer I can take it. I can’t stand to be around him. Isn’t that HORRIBLE? I sound like such a rotten mother, and I feel bad, but my word, its the honest to goodness truth… sometimes I just can’t stand to be around him. I love him to death, and I’d die for him, but sometimes I just feel like running away from him. I hate the uncertainty of each day. I hate not having a normal schedule anymore. I hate that I can’t have anything planned because I have no control of how his morning is. I think it’d be easier if I were working full time.
Anyway, enough of my whining. I apologize. I’m on your side… I’m looking forward to some "happy" posts… whenever those may show up. Who knows. I wish it’d be soon.
I dodged out of the house as soon as Ryan got home. He finally got to deal with what I deal with each morning and afternoon. WHINY boy. I ran errands… bought everything I needed for Porter’s birthday party this weekend (which is going to be SOOO cool… all night tonight I worked on a project for it… well, not a project… but… part of the decorations kind of??). I went to Walmart, JoAnn and the Dollar Store. I got cups, tablecloths, pop, bananas (monkey theme!!), ordered balloons, cupcake boxes, etc etc. Its alllll done. YAY!
Super neato news… I am going to have a display of my work at Everyday Blessings, a midwifery in town. Her wall has this PERFECT spot for a huge piece. I think I’m actually going to do 4 11×14’s in a square. So, now I need to find my 4 favorite newborn pictures. I’m really excited about this display. I hope it brings in some new business!
This weekend is going to be really busy.
Tomorrow I’m working to make up for Monday. Then I have Aria and in the evening I’m going to a birthday party for Hailey, Missy’s daughter. Hailey will be FIVE!! Poor Porter will probably miss out on the fun. Her birthday is at 7pm, and that is pretty much Porter’s bedtime. I don’t want to deal with him falling apart at a birthday party.
Saturday we’re having game night… FINALLY! Its been months, seriously. We’re having a super fun theme… Oscar’s Night! It’ll be all themed around movies and the like. It should be fun!!
Sunday is Porter’s birthday party… enough said. It’s going to be a madhouse. I think there are like 35 people coming, 11 of them being kids… FIVE one year olds, a newborn, a 2 year old, two 3 year olds and a 5 year old. YIKES. Lets hope I survive this one.
And next week we’re having another Cheeky Little Monkey get together. We have a couple new members to our group, so it’ll be fun to get to know these new girls. We’re doing a pot luck, and I’ll make sure I take my camera out this time.
Ok… thats about all for now. Its getting late and I need to get my arse in bed.
