Life is hard, Bridget Jones style.

Is going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Day 1: Lara doesn't nap. Total minutes by myself for the day: 90 (but interrupted)
(Dustin takes the girls out of the house so I can cook supper. This was nice, and I had forgotten how much I enjoy cooking when two little girls are not hanging on my legs begging for attention.) At this point, Lara's bedtime has been 9:30-10pm, despite that we put her in bed shortly after 8:30pm. Also at this point is Lara's wake-up time, which averages at 6:15am. What is wrong with this girl? I wrack my brain to think of a solution to what I consider an inappropriate lack of sleep for a three year old. Nothing comes to mind. Because I woke up at 6:15 and haven't had a solid moment's peace until 10pm, and haven't got a mind.

Day 2: Again no nap. Concede with the though that perhaps she is just growing out of it. A thought I do not feel good about as she was quite tired all morning long and just wanted to lay on the couch. I order rest time for her, and it works for awhile, but then continues to come out of her room, waking up the baby. Does not work for me. Get v. mad. Put on stern voice and order her to bed and to sleep. Goes to sleep. Just shortly before Claire wakes up. Total amount of time to oneself: 30 min (uninterrupted). Better. total minutes of stewing over why I do not get a babysitter to help me for three hours a week, and then remember it is because I have no money: 1, 440. Number of projects wanted to complete today: 0. Amount of thoughts of how lovely it would be drown my sorrows in cinnamon rolls: 897. Amount of thoughts of how it is a wonder I do not weigh much, much more: 897. Put Lara in bed at 7:45pm with idea that she will actually be asleep by 9pm. Is asleep by 8:30 (v.g.) but is up at 6:15am. Wakes up baby. V. sad.

Day 3: Time-out at 6:20am. Do not want to go into it. Took frustration out on barbie dolls. Lara currently reading books in her bedroom. Claire being cute. Want to stay in pajamas all day. Teeth hurt. Probably from cavities caused by no time to brush teeth. Have started brushing teeth every night on top of every morning. Teeth hurt. Remember this is why I do not brush teeth more than once a day because more than once a day makes my teeth hurt. Cinnamon rolls in oven.. Dentist appointment scheduled.
