This is what he should be doing, but he isn’t. Instead, he is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with his Daddy. And because I am in a zombie-like state, this is all I got…for now.

Not a grumble.

Jayden and I fell asleep on the couch last night. He woke up because he began to itch.
I rubbed him down with soothing cream and by then he was screaming because he hates being itchy and sitting through being rubbed.
I grabbed a sippy of water from the fridge and stumbled up the stairs with him over my shoulder.
I had a headache and I needed to use the washroom, so that’s where we stopped. I shuffled around quickly because he was still not very happy. We headed into the bedroom where Greg was still sleeping.
We invaded the bed and he let us get comfy. We were both welcomed with kisses.
Not a grumble.

And I know I keep doing this weird thing with my sentences. I just don’t like how short paragraphs look. They look like announcements and this is not an announcement, but an example of why I love my man.
Today was a veg day.

Yesterday night seemed endless. Jayden hadn’t napped at all during the day and he would not go to sleep at bedtime. He went down twice well past midnight and woke up both times. He finally went down for good around 6am. 6am people. We had to get up at 10am because our landlords stopped by to inspect. Yay.
Today was a veg day. We were so slugged out. We had plans to go grocery shopping, but I opted for noodles and Dominos instead.
Jayden’s been hijacking my journal for doodles, so we brought out his paper and crayons so that he could color. I added the Clamp-On Paper Center to our wishlist. I think it’s exactly what he needs.
I have a new post up today at coNectar. If you’re looking for Easter ideas, activities, or recipes, you should check it out

We are celebrating Earth Hour as I type this. Every light in the house has been turned off.
My blog currently looks like this.
So I’ll wait until the next hour to publish this post.
How was your Saturday?
Enough About The Mattress Already.
February 4, 2010 6 Comments
Bizzie Mommy is having a giveaway for a Sealy Posturepedic® Signature 11-Series innerspring mattress and she’s asked bloggers to blog about why they need a new mattress as a way of entering.
Well, my reason is simple.
We’ve been sleeping on an air mattress since Summer of 2008.
When we moved from Southern Illinois, we left our mattress behind because it didn’t fit in our UHAUL. We had both stayed up the night before moving trying to finish up around the house because once we hit the road, there was no turning back. The mattress should have been one of the first things to be packed. I don’t know what happened, you can’t really expect logic from two sleep deprived parents of a 4 month old.
Once we got settled, we bought an air mattress to sleep on until we could purchase a real mattress. As more and more financial obligations required our attention, purchasing that mattress got put on hold. One air mattress turned into three. Sleeping on an air mattress wasn’t that bad, as long as the bills were paid and Boogie was taken care of.
This isn’t an SOB story. I am not griping because we don’t have real mattress. One day we are going to look back and reminisce. Life is all about making sacrifices. All wishes aren’t granted at once. Good things certainly come to those who wait. We have a warm place to live, foods on the table, and we are all healthy. So what if we are sleeping on an air mattress. There are folks that have to sleep in dirt and on concrete out in extreme weather conditions.
I felt like I’ve told this story one time too many, only because it’s come up somehow. Now that I’ve blogged it, I plan to never mention it again. Ok, maybe I will; when we finally get that mattress and as a reminder to be grateful for the gifts given to us.
Edit: We didn’t win the giveaway, but we did FINALLY buy a new mattress!
