Even so, I'm ready for a break
Oh, my.
This has been quite a long day. Owen has been awake most of the day, AGAIN. It's not that he's particularly cranky, he's just not sleeping. Yesterday, it was just during the day, and by the time I put the girls to bed, he was ready to sleep. Tonight, I didn't even get that much out of him until about 9:30. He's out cold now, and I'm getting my first break all day. I need a little time to decompress, but at this point I have to choose between alone time and sleep. I haven't decided which will win yet.
The girls have actually been pretty good today. Sure, Katie was jumping on her bed this morning, and kept doing it in spite of me. This afternoon, while they were upstairs playing, Katie went into their bathroom and opened a jar of Eucerin cream. If you don't know what that is, just imagine a small tub of lard. When I went in there, she told me the water wouldn't turn on. Maybe because you're greased like a pig? Luckily, aside from some handprints in the bathroom, the sink area, and the box of wipes in her bedroom that she was trying to open when I went upstairs, she didn't decorate anything that couldn't be wiped up.
To kill time tonight, and mix up bath night a little, we had a little spa night. I mud-masked the three of us, and then we all took a shower while Owen watched. Hmm, that sounds dirty. Then we had a picnic of Lunchables in the living room and watched Cinderella. The whole evening was actually quite enjoyable, and for me, that's saying something.
