Long Day

Today was a long day and I am T.I.R.E.D.  At this point I would like to mention how much I hate…yes, I’m using hate for this…teething.  It’s right up there with Satan himself.  Amon is just a big mess of drool and snot and throw in some inconsolable anger every now and then…and oh yeah, waking up like a wee crazy in the night.  Josh and I are zonked.  But hey, things could easily be worse, so I’ll take a teething 9-month-old easily.  Plus he does have fabulous hair.

And now my days are filled with keeping him wrangled.  He’s everywhere and into everything.  It’s so funny how in just a few days they can totally change.  I love the strides he’s made in no time.  We now have to block off the steps and forget me ever taking a peaceful shower for the next 1-2 years.  He’s right by the tub now, jerking the curtain back and creeping me out.

Oh and Sol is sick.  Boo for sick kids.  He just laid on the couch all day and slept.  He fell asleep just like this.

After we picked Harper up from school, I took them to Sonic for a little happy hour love.  Word.  I knew Sol was really sick when he only asked for a Sprite…no slushy?!?!?!  It must be something serious.

And since Sol was out of playing commission today, Huddy spent the majority of the day drawing and cutting and gluing paper weapons, which meant I got to finish up several pieces that were overdue for completion.

These will all be up for sale this Saturday on my site.  I’m hoping to have several more finished to go along with these.  The sale will be very similar to the last Saturday Sale I held…except the time will be different.  I will post all the details Friday…still working them out.

Now I’m off the get my art on and hopefully go to bed at a somewhat decent hour, only to be awakened by a pissed off teething baby just a few hours later.  Life is grand though…it really is.  Wouldn’t trade it for anything…except maybe 8 hours of sleep.  I kid.

Happy Wednesday!

  1. Laura, we used Highlands’s Teething Tablets for my second daughter. They worked so well we called them her “happy pills”. They say right on the bottle something like “your child might feel so much relief they’ll immediately go to sleep”. Sounds like it’s right up your alley! Loving your Saturday sales, too!

  2. I was just going to post about the teething tablets too!!! They are twelve kinds of phenomenal!!!

  3. What? Why don’t I know about these teething tablets? We have been experiencing that same misery for several months on and off, and he still only has 3 teeth! Ugh, I don’t remember it being this bad the first time around. Maybe I had more energy or more time to hold an inconsolable screaming baby 🙂 They seem like the are in so much pain. Hope those little teeth break through the gums soon. I feel for you. Can’t believe how good he is getting around though! Seems like he is really making up for lost time. Adorable baby boy.

  4. Yes the teething tablets are great and if you can’t find them chamomile works well. If not take them yourself zzzzzzz. Haha.

  5. Teething tablets are wonderful, Camilia has been our saving grace with all 3 of our triplets cutting eye teeth at once, talk about hell 🙁
