So today was quite interesting. Christina decided that she is now unable to sleep without me or some sort of movement. So if I was not rocking her, walking with her, pushing her in a stroller or driving the car. So let's just say we drove 40 miles and I walked over 4 miles! Can you believe it? I think my daughter thinks I must lose some weight or something.
I make it sound like it was fun or something but honestly, it is tiring. I struggled with any "down time". I think it is hard to admit, but we all need some time to relax as a parent, so when you have to be constantly moving, it can be quite exhausting. She is so cute though! Her little smile makes it all worth it...well sometimes. My back has been screaming at me for the last few hours and I definitely struggled with hills today.
The other news of the day is that my phone got a little splash of water...which caused it to lock the keyboard...OK it probably short-circuited. I cannot believe RIM does not realize that some blackberry users may have some spillage or something that may fall on it that is liquid. I honestly did not have a lot of water on it...and it locked. And that water was from...the cup of water I was saving to warm up Christina's milk. It was nowhere near my girl so no worries.
The hardest part for me to leave the house is to have to plan to have hot water available anywhere I go. I seriously plan my trips thinking: OK I can go there, there is a DD, Starbucks, Honey Dew, etc. And when you are looking for that hot water, you realize two things: 1-There isn't as many DD as one may think...they tend to be sparse when I really need them. 2-People who you ask for hot water are mostly slow. When I ask for hot water for the baby's milk, most of them think I will be putting the boiling water in the bottle. "Yes, that is why I need the water, so I can burn my newborn's esophagus and claim that you were "in cahoots" with me to DSS/DCF". Seriously, people can't understand we are putting the bottle in the hot water with no actual contact with the milk? Anyway, that is a little pet peeve.
Today's stat of the day: I wanted to go to the post office. I started getting ready at 9:20AM...we got out of the house (still not moving the stroller mind you) 10:05AM.
