despite our new mattress, which we got over a year ago, i wake up like i got run over by a bus every single morning. i get up and have to eeease out of bed and walk reeeal slow, makes me feel like i’m 8 months pg again. So I don’t think it’s the bed, it’s sleeping with the baby that does it. she sleeps in bed w/ us which makes it hard to shift position when the body is tired of laying a certain way.
i took a lesson with “mel” on monday. the man is really nice, not bad looking either :) and talented but i’m not going back. i just don’t have the time to practice much these days and taking lessons (even 1/mth ) is just pointless right now. so i’ll fly solo for now and do what i can when i can. i’m just SO into piano this time it’s crazy. i’m obsessed! why didn’t i have this kind of enthusiasm when i was 15?!!! i swear kids don’t know how good they have it until it’s gone…. like me! i was just soo privileged when i was younger. not having to work till i was 22 (and only because *I* decided it was time) sheesh. well, my dad was on my case about it for a while but i knew i didn’t *really* have to do anything. everything was handed to me. and I had SO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS!!! sharp contrast to these days. assets are in the negatives, zero time .. (had to bring the poor child into the bathroom with me last night cuz she won’t even let me go!) and barely eating cuz she’s so demanding. i rather hold her all day then hear that screeching sound. and god forbit i put her next to me while i play the piano.. maybe she can tell how bad i am.. i can’t wait until she outgrows this phase . it may take a couple months but i’m sure she’ll grow past it. she’s such a sweatheart as long as i’m with her tho. cooing and smiling and all that.. but god forbid you put her down and walk away..
may the force keep me sane.
buuuuuuut….. she’s still made out of sugar and spice and everything nice.

When my guys were each in that phase where I just couldn’t put them down, I made a baby blanket into a sling and shlepped em around everywhere snuggled to my chest. That worked for about a month or two apiece, until they got too wriggly and impatient with it.
Reply to springdewi have a sling.. but only used it twice. maybe i will try it again. bad thing with that thing now is that it carries her on my chest and stomach (yeah i know that’s the way it’s supposed to be) but it carries too high and i can’t see where i’m going!
as i type, she’s on my now blowing bubble out her mouth and slobbering all over me. heheh.. my back is taking a beating from all this carrying.
