Olz+N'tash featuring two ♥ kidz in the big city of Gbg

The short story:

My birthday started at 4.00 am with Lil’ Fil  all wide awake and excited… Phew!!

The long one:

wake up at 4.00 am – Lil’ Fil as wide awake. try to get him to go back to sleep. fail!

4.30 am all three of us are tossing and turning in the bed. two of  us are desperately trying to calm down the third one.

5.20 am J gives up and takes Lil’ Fil to the kitchen, hoping that he will fall asleep in the baby sitter.

5.30 am trying to deal with my whining stomach. give up! get up to get some breakfast.

reminded that it’s my birthday today. get a present! :) *couldn’t even hope to get it. HAPPY*

make some tea  and sandwich. Lil’ Fil is calm and almost asleep. nice!

6.10 am J puts him in his bed. start eating my breakfast.

6.20 am Lil’ Fil is awake *again*. forget my breakfast.

discover that he need a new diaper. give up potty training for today.

try not to have bad feelings about that.

have bed feelings.

change his diaper. try to calm him. hope to he will fall asleep. hope I can fall asleep. need to sleep another hour.

realize that he won’t fall asleep.

6.45 am  come up with the outstanding idea to go for a walk with Lil’ Fil.

6.50 am go out

do laps around the house.

7.00 am he falls asleep. finally! *happy*

7.10 am come back home. leave him in the push chair. decide to go back to sleep.

7.20 am Lil’ Fil is awake. again.

try to put him back to sleep. feed him. give him pacifier. he is upset.

still upset. nothing works.

8.00 am decide to leave him with his grandma. they play. I’m supposed to go back to sleep.

supposed to sleep. can’t fall asleep.

9.00 am get up. decide to pretend that this is morning and follow Lil’ Fil’s routine. change him. give him breakfast.

make my breakfast. decide to make some coffee. realize that we are out of milk.

my mother-in-law goes and buys some milk for me. really kind of her!

drink coffee. try to make a plan.

10.00 am wipe Lil’ Fil. clean the kitchen. he has no intention to fall asleep.

11.00 am still not tired. decide to let grandma go for a walk with him. need a mental break.

11.05 am silence!

11.06 am have panic attack about the state of the house. realize that it’s my birthday. try not to care.

enjoy the silence. breathe.

hope that the rest of the day is easier.

This was the best present I’ve ever got for a birthday of mine. *happy*
