First Day Home Alone!!

Today, Jay had to go back to school. He is in anesthesia now. Olivia and I were home alone today. We were very tired because someone decided to stay up until 2am wanting to play!! Can you guess who that was??? Well...little Miss Olivia finally fell asleep about 2am. Luckily she slept until a little after 7am. I ended up sleeping on her floor bc I was trying to keep her quiet so Jay could sleep since he had to go back to school. Everytime I went to bed, she would start wailing!! I am all for letting her cry it out...but not those screams. If she had her passy, she was fine...but it kept falling out of her mouth, which made her scream. So, sleeping on the floor, I had quick access to the passy so that Jay could sleep...however, after I got all situated on the floor...my little bundle of joy went to sleep and I didn't even need to give her the passy again!! I think she just missed me!! Oh, and to add to the drama...her radio kept messing up and turning off so her music would stop. That was annoying bc nothing I did would keep the radio on...so at like 1 am I am searching the house for another radio!! (Right now, Olivia loves to listen to country music at night!! She also loves her personalized Olivia CD she got from Oma and Papa Smurf!!)

Well...Olivia got up after 7 and ate. Then she and I went and laid in mommy's bed and went back to sleep for a little bit. Later, we did some dishes, laundry, cleaned up the living room some, and watched a lot of Law and Order!! Then we took another nap about 2...mommy still had not caught back up on her sleep yet. About 3 I got up and started working on dinner bc I had only had half a thing of Ramen noodles and Jay hadn't eaten lunch yet either (he called on his way home at 3). I found some new recipes online that I wanted to try. I made ranch chicken and roasted potatoes...which were both good if I do say so myself. We also had some broccoli and okra. It was good!! We are definitely getting older though bc we ate dinner before 5:30!! Now, Jay is working on school stuff, and I just got finished cleaning up the kitchen. It is almost 7:30. Olivia and I are going to try the nighttime routine that everyone says will help her sleep better. So...we are heading to get a bath...then bottle...then rocking...and hopefully bed!!! Wish us luck!!!
