I'm trying really hard to be positive. Today is hard, though. The baby slept like crap, waking up a few times during the night because his pacifier fell out and then at 4am for a bottle. We slept another hour and then Moose thought it was time to wake up. After a half an hour of trying to get him to sleep more with us, I threw in the towel (or rather kicked off the blankets).
Moose has been in timeout about 4 times this morning and it's only 9am. The tv has been on since we got up (and I don't see it being turned off any time soon....as I just put in Peter Pan for us to watch).
A friend had said she'd come over for a play date with her youngest daughter, but sent me a Facebook message saying they won't be coming. If I'd known sooner, I would have taken the boys to the Childrens' Museum or somewhere to play...I just don't have the energy now.
I think that's the worst part of Big A being gone is that I'm lonelier than normal. No one to talk with during the day and no one at night.
Ok...so on the bright side, I've realized that if I want to see Squirt roll over, I have to leave the room, sneak back, and don't let him see me.
on the bright side...Moose woke up in a good mood.
on the bright side...we survived day one.
PS Where is everyone? I know I don't usually get that many comments but even mine have been down. Are you reading or is everyone busy with Christmas-time stuff?

I've got my first arranged play date on friday! So excited! I think I'll be rather sad if she has to cancel at all.
Due to my moaning via facebook that I never see any of my old friends, I have a friend coming on Thurs with her newborn - I'm afraid I'm going to get rather broody & want another one sooner rather then later!!
Is time out like where you put then in a corner or a step for some quiet time to reflect how naughty they've been?
Moose looks way to sweet to cause any trouble!Bless him! :)
Happy 1st of Dec / Start of Advent! :D
It's hard when your husband is gone. From Sept 20-Oct 20 I probably saw my husband a total of about 8 days. He was traveling for work and I was home with the girls and it was so hard. Granted, I didn't have a newborn, but...I know what you're going thru here. I hope your day looks up :-)
I promise to be a better blogger and bloggy friend...soon.
My 11 month old has been waking up a lot during the night lately, too and then he's ready for the day at 6:30 or 7. It's exhausting when I go to bed so late!
I hope your day is better and your week goes by super fast!! My husband is a hunter so I also feel your pain when they are gone!!
p.s.I know tv isn't the best, but if it helps out for a few days, dont let yourself feel bad. There are a lot of other worse things!!
