Day one of my early leave

Well as most of you know by now I have started my leave of absence early...I have been in quite a bit of pain for a while now and have, in turn, turned into quite the hellion at home. I was concentrating so hard on giving all of my good energy at work that when I came home I was awful to be around. I thought long and hard and Nathan agreed that having extra time before Sevyn's arrival that is happy time and time that we can just be together is worth more than a full paycheck.

So, here I am...at home...not bored per say but well, here is the run down of my day...We'll start at 3:30 this morning because that is when Sevyn typically turns into a pumpkin and makes my life a living hell.



3:30am - woke up to go to the bathroom and get water...Ended up waking up the dog so I put her in the bathroom with food and water.

4:00am - played 6 losing games of solitare on my phone

5:30am - I think Nathans alarm went off around now - I did get a little nap in, I can sleep if I don't move. I got up to go to the bathroom again.

7:00 am - Nathan left for work and I got up to pee...again...and decided to also catch up on Smallville and Supernatural since I didn't have to be quiet anymore.

8:30am - got up to let Charlie out and get some breakfast...Breakfast was quite the adventure since I was aparently very hungry... 2 waffels (Kashi, so I could justify 2), 2 eggs (1 whole and 1 white) toast, OJ and a yogurt later I felt like a beeched whale and took a little nap.

9:30am - woke up with searing heartburn which I should have anticipated because thats what always happens when I sleep right after I eat.

10:00 am - checked my email (I was so excited to get emails form the girls!!! I don't think I have ever actually responded so quickly to emails before!)

11:00am - Paid some bills, ate a snack, played with the dog

12:00 Sent Nathan the following pic and told him Charlie was dead because she missed him so much...





12:30 blogged on our family blog

1:30 Nathan came home!!!

And no it's only 1:50...oh dear.

We shall see how this goes.

Sigh

Well...it is 5:30am... I have been up since 2:30. I cannot sleep to save my life tonight. Nathan says it's God's way of preparing us to help each other (he sleeps while I'm up and I sleep while he's up etc)...I say how about we don't prepare for that kind of stuff? I think I'd rather just wing it when the time comes and get lots of sleep now. Soooooo, here I am - full of lower back pain (I wish someone would just snap me in half backwards), and totally unable to get rid of my daughters hiccups. So what does one do on late nights like this? Well, thus far I have played with the dog (who I am sure appreciated being woken up to hang out with me - what are friends for), googled a million and one things (baby stuff, trivia, random words...awesome), taken 3 baths (the water company loves me - the whales, not so much), and longed for the days I could take 4 Tylenol at once and not have to check the time as opposed to now where I can take 2 every 4 to 6 hours...Useless. (Sigh)...babies sure make you do weird stuff.
