I just don’t understand why my daughter has decided sleep is the ultimate evil since about…oh…4 o’clock this morning (I’m wondering if teething is the culprit). 9 hours later she finally took a nap…a wimpy one hour nap. And now? Fighting a second nap. I guess by bed time she’ll be ready since it will be another 8 hours later from the first nap? *sigh* The good thing though, is that she’s in an excellent mood! No sleep without the whining is more manageable. But, geez, Mark and I are exhausted.

It’s been a long, long day. Thankfully, the day has been spent at home verses my usual 7 hours away at classes that was supposed to be today. Today was a snow day! But now it’s more like…a rain day because all the snow melted under the rain. Pooey.

I chose to drink out of my Wilmington, NC coffee mug today in attempt in trying to keep my spirits up as well as my eye lids from dropping over. Why? Well, that’s where Daddy O and I went on our honeymoon. And it reminded me of how wonderfully peaceful and beautiful it was there. The restaurant to the left is one we ate at, we even got to eat on a little balcony. Happy memories help, right? It worked for about 1 minute. If only we could go back to that simplistic time, ya know, away from everything, the baby, the school, the work, the laundry. And we could sleep all night on our king sized temperpedic mattress and take naps whenever we felt like!

Have I mentioned it’s been a long, blah day? I need a vacation.

 (by the way, I apologize for all my gloom and doom posts lately.  It’s just how life is right now!)
