Got sleep?
Not us! Last night was a very long night for Anna and me. Anna seems to have picked up some bug (or already had a bug) that took advantage of the fact that she had no sleep yesterday. She had a fever last night of 102 degrees. That, coupled with the fact that she’s in strange place in a pack-n-play, didn’t make for a particularly good night last night. I ended up sleeping with her in her room. There’s a queen-sized bed in her room, but I certainly wouldn’t know, as I was clinging to the very edge while Anna took the rest. She just wanted to be close, and kept insisting on sleeping on me. I generally like to sleep in a cool room, with a cool pillow, etc. The heat generated from Anna’s hot little body was not really conducive to good sleep for Tara.
So far today, Anna’s been a bit of a mess. She’s obviously exhausted, but not really wanting to take a nap. We finally insisted on the nap, and she’s going on 3 hours! She even managed to sleep through a pretty loud thunderstorm (I felt like I was in Kansas again! You just don’t get storms like that in Colorado.). Hopefully she can sleep off the worst of this bug. If not, we’ve been googling the nearest urgent care.
When she finally wakes up, we’re off to Target to spend some big bucks. You really take for granted the fact that you have condiments, spices, and what-not in your pantry. We don’t even have any dishwashing detergent to wash up the pots we’ve used.
