Touching on deep thoughts
Holy crap am I tired.
I shouldn't be. The time change is in my favor right now. My dad got up with the kids this morning, and I got to stay in bed really late. Reeeeally late.
Of course, Katie got me up 3 times. And most of my "sleep in" time was interrupted by Jamie or Katie crying and laughing. I'm not a deep sleeper when it comes to my kids, and I don't fall back asleep easily for anything.
I went to a baby shower for a friend I haven't gotten to see much of in the last 5 years. She got married soon after me, but not long after she moved to Hawaii. I haven't seen her since her wedding, so it was great to reconnect, even if it was in a room full of other people, many of whom were doing the same thing.
I feel the need to note how jealous I am of her living in Hawaii. And of how much she's travelled in the last 4 years. I swear she's been everywhere! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her. Sometimes I just want to *be* her.
After the shower, we met my mother at the mall for dinner and some running around. The germy play area was closed, so the girls spent a bunch of time climbing up and down stairs and looking at the fountains. It occurs to me that even though I know nearly every detail of Jamie's life, I don't really know how to talk with her, and I haven't found a way to play with her that she and I both enjoy. I feel so awkward when I'm not taking care of needs or discipline.
I need to think some more on that, but right now, I'm too tired and out of it to be making rational decisions.
