Did he get that from that frog??
Do frogs give you strep?
Yish.
Maren is still not sleeping through the night and has some sort of super power that makes her the only baby in the world immune to the wonders of melatonin. It's supposed to help them fall asleep and stay asleep. Nope. Not Maren. She's like Superman with Kryptonite. Only the reverse-you know what I mean.
So Will and I have not had a full night's sleep since 1987. But it's summer and even after 24 more hours, I feel better. I love the power of time as a healer! Oh thank you God for time! (Even if that stretch mark cream isn't working on my wrinkles, thus reminding me that time is marching across my face with Doc Martens-Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!)
I am typing at a frenzied pace because Keegan is still napping, and I realize that I can get about 15 things done before we go to pick up Maren at daycare.
Do you realize how much you can get done with a four year old home and no baby?
I marked all my garage sale items, sorted the entire linen closet, taking time to actually test out some old lipsticks just for FUN!, (pink is NOT my color) threw away icky old blankets and sheets (donated them, actually), something I do every time a bad relationship ends. I am considering my career right now a bad relationship. Out with the dysfunctional, in with the newfunctional (?). It works.
I also took an uninterrupted two hour nap and will shortly be making dinner.
Maren Vada, I love you and am so thankful for you, my precious baby daughter, but boy was it nice to be productive today.
I haven't been productive since 2008.
Anyway, I'm off to cook. Something I hope I can actually do this summer now that I have time off. Parmesan chicken-thanks Grandma!
"What kind of Grandma?" As Keegan would say.
Grandma Linda.
This is what happens when you have more than one Grandma, you ask what kind.
I am pretty sure Will asks this about me in his head on any given day: "What kind of Melissa?"
Hopefully he can start saying: "The happy kind!"
