Claire didn't have the best of days today. She has come down with a little bit of a cold. Terrible runny nose and a loud, deep cough. Poor girl! She has every right to cry and whine, but it has been really hard on me! I have never experienced a "crying" baby for a whole day. Claire has always been a really good baby, so all this crying is a new thing for me. It took all of my energy today to change diapers, make bottles, read books and feed her "big girl food." She just wanted to be held all day, so when she went down for her 3 naps (she usually only has 2), all I wanted to do was watch Pride and Prejudice and veg.
And guess what? I did just that. All day.
It was wonderful! I left the smelly dishes, overflowing garbage, laundry piles and Claire's breakfast crumbs on the floor all day! (I feel kinda bad about it now...)
Not only did I live like a slob all day, I also avoided going downstairs to my office. The last thing I wanted to do today was work on Subway flyers and Flash Demos. But now I am paying for it! It is 3:51 in the morning and I am just finishing up some projects for work. You are probably thinking, why don't you stop blogging and go to bed already? I will, soon. I need to let my brain wind down. I have been crazy working since 9:30. If I go to bed now, I will lay there and think for hours. Remember this? Plus, Tim is snoring right now, I can hear him. Not fun. Not fun at all.
Oh, yeah. Here is evidence that I just didn't have the energy today. Claire in her high chair with spinach, yogurt and graham crackers everywhere! I should of documented the floor, it was crazy messy! Later she sneezed in the bath and a piece of spinach came out her nose...
At least it wasn't a pea. That would of just made my day.

And working until 3:30 in the morning! Girl, how do you handle the day? I hope all your work is done!
But good for you for taking just one day to nothing but deal with the crying and whining!
Every Mother needs just one day to just veg!
