Huge accomplishments!
Last night we had 3 wake-ups. This is already huge. Even if it doesn't happen again, at least last night was glorious.
Today I drove my child to Northbrook Court for a date with Ms. BB, whom I haven't seen since before the birth of my child. Her kiddo and my kiddo didn't really hit it off right away, but I believe that they will be fast friends soon enough. :) We wandered around the mall, had lunch at Stir Crazy and then walked a little more. It's wonderful having so many people in my life with kidlets of their own. It's a wealth of knowledge, but more importantly a huge source of empathy. I could swim in empathy at this point in my life. Until my fingers get all prune-y.
We drove home and had a 10 minute bout of hysteria where my child screamed so hard that when I finally did get a chance to look at her she was passed out with a nice coating of foamy spittle around her mouth. I was able to drown out her screaming (and calm her down) with the sound of white noise between AM stations and by aiming my car into each and every pothole I saw. If it's the choice between my car's shocks and hearing my child scream, I'll go ahead and ruin the shocks every time.
When we got home she had about 5 minutes left in her of nappage, so I ran to the front door, got the new Nest base which had just arrived and installed that sucker before she woke up. Our heat officially works! Best news ever.
Finally I have two more social visits today. Two! This is the makings of a wonderful Friday.
