Confession
Jul. 29th, 2004 02:35 amI fucking love "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" - there, I've said it. She's so ridiculously hot and stupid and he's just as beautiful (albeit not quite as stupid). I love watching them interact, sort of like going to the zoo and seeing the pandas.
Why is it that it's always the nights of the days Laszlo doesn't nap that one of them is up in the middle of the night? I was so happy to get to bed by 10:00, since no matter how early I try usually it's never before 11. At 1:00 Lily was stirring (she was next to me) and nursing didn't knock her back out. So I tried swaddling her and rocking her in the chair in her room. Nada. So I left her in her room in the crib and walked out for a few minutes to let her watch her mobile. Wide awake. Then I hear a second set of cries coming from big brother's room. Ack. So now it's almost 3 am and I'm past that "I'll just put my head back on the pillow and return to unconsciousness" phase and into the "will probably be up all night with them" phase. I gave him a bottle, per his request, and hit the play button on the Norah Jones cd. She's in her crib right now with a blankie wiggling all around and now crying intermittently. I tried the swing. I changed both their diapers. I fed both of them. Would love to just let them cry to sleep, but I need the monitors on and don't want to keep Robert up since he gets up at 4:45 for work.
So here I am.
Many of my friends are getting their 2 1/2 year olds ready for school. I still don't get it. I'm not sending Laszlo yet, mostly because he'll hate it and I think that it would totally traumatize him. It's on my mind though because at the park, etc. moms are always asking me where I'm sending him to school. And they look at me like I have two heads when I say, "I'm not."
Better go tend to the lil ones.
