Friday was Steve's birthday so after work we went to Jethros for dinner, then Steve went to go meet a friend for a beer....you know how that goes. One beer leads to five, one hour leads to 6. HA!
Presley was very good for me, though she still wasn't feeling very good so she just laid around most of the night.
Piper was up crying a lot which she has been doing recently (more on that later), so neither one of us got very much sleep and we had to get up and get ready to leave for the wedding on Saturday morning. We all got up, ready, and packed in record time for the 4 of us! We dropped Piper off about 10 am and we headed north! We got to Algona in time to check-in to the hotel, dip our feet in the pool and have a snack then we headed to the wedding which was another 45 minutes away. The wedding was nice, short and sweet! We headed back to the hotel and had some drinks with the fam (Aunt Roxanne, cousins Devin and Jordan and his girlfriend Sarah). Once we got to the reception we hunkered down at a table.
Presley was just embarrassed by her daddy
They had happy meals for the kids so Presley was in heaven! She was so good but you could tell she just wasn't back to 100% normal. We did a little dancing.
and tried the limbo!
She was not impressed and was just tired. She took advantage of the fact that Roxanne and Devin went back to the hotel at 9 and she joined them so that she could go to bed. She was exhausted and I was SHOCKED that she left with them, but so happy that she was comfortable with it and was good for them!
We got home about 12:30 yesterday, I quickly did dishes and a load of laundry before going to pick up Piper. I took her to Walmart with me and then went home. I did SO good for being SO tired with a headache (thank you beer), my goal was to NOT sit down. I was able to do some cleaning, organizing, more laundry and then finally sat down to watch the end of the Masters! Presley was NOT so good yesterday. I think she was just tired from the whole weekend, but she cried over everything....EVERYTHING.
Steve and I were exhausted (two nights of minimal sleep and drinking is harder to handle at 34 years old than 24 years old!) we got in bed at 8:45 last night, but by 9 Piper was up screaming....we were both too tired to deal with her plus nothing consoled her anyway. She screams, not just cries. The pacifier, rocking, nothing works unless you give her a bottle to calm down. She throws her head back and arches her back...so we decided if she was going to cry in our arms she could just cry in her crib. 30 minutes of 'crying it out' and she was finally asleep. Almost 2 am....she woke up again, same thing. Another 20 minutes of crying before she fell asleep again...and P slept thru all of it!
Tonight, Presley was a big baby again. Everything made her cry. Everything. It pisses Steve off, I'm just ignoring it. Piper woke up at 9 again tonight, crying....and she is still crying, Presley fell asleep, thank goodness. One down, one to go.
