Cabin Fever Already?
Posted by: LizzieThe boys have lost their minds. It’s not that we don’t have anything to do around here, they just get tired of each other and it manifests itself in fighting, chasing, and screaming for no reason at all. I’d make them play outside, but it’s so incredibly hot out there, even I don’t want to go. And if the baby wasn’t so needy right now, it would be easier for me to sit and play Candyland or I Spy. As it is, I’m always needing to get up and bounce the baby around to get him back to sleep or sit and nurse him. (I got up 4 times since I started this entry)
Yesterday, I managed to craft a cloth wipe out of a square of flannel and sweatshirt fleece. I wish I had a serger so I wouldn’t have to turn & topstitch everything. It still looks alright. And besides, it’s made to wipe baby poo, so how cute does it have to be anyway?
I’m feeling lazy today. The house does need vacuuming and dusting, but really, I’m way too tired to do anything. The baby woke up around 1:00 a.m. and was up for over an hour. I thought about waking dh, but he had to get up early to be in class at 8:00.
I need to take the boys in for eye exams. DS2 is a little cross-eyed sometimes and I’m worried he’s got a lazy eye. I’m not exactly excited about making a three-year-old wear glasses, but I want to correct it as early as possible. I guess I’ll call around and see which places take Medicaid. Then I would need to plan an adventure into the real world again.
Perhaps I’ll call my mom and see if there are any days she can help me. I’m certainly not going anywhere by myself. And that sucks because I really want to go to the library. I finished Unimaginable Zero Summer which turned out to be pretty good. I want to see if the library has Night. I watched most of the Oprah show where she went to the concentration camp with the author.
I don’t have a plan for today. Maybe that’s why I feel so scattered.
