Our Grumpy Saturday...

This week has been "uber" exhausting and I think everything I did caught up with me and Mackenzy this morning.  Not only did I work job #1, but I've begun to get things squared away for job #2.  We finally had our first basketball game this week which kept me out past my bedtime.  I had a meeting with vocational rehabilitation services that was completely pointless and then my father in law had to go in the hospital.  Needless to say, I was one tired Mommy by Friday afternoon.

Today, I was really looking forward to sleeping late (meaning until 7:00am).  During the week I wake up at 5:20 to get dressed and I wake Mackenzy up at 6:00 so that we can eat and get out of the house by 7:00.  Usually, if I don't wake her up she'll sleep until 7:00 or 7:30 ish, but this morning she wasn't having that at all.  She was wide awake, ready to play, and slightly whiny at 6:00am.  I was NOT happy to be awake that early when I didn't have to go anywhere and I guess my grumpiness rubbed off on her...

She was whiny because her teeth hurt and bored because Mommy was still sleepy and in a bad mood because we were awake so early for no reason!  Then when nap time arrived, she wouldn't go to sleep!  She did take a 20 minute nap while we were in Target which was far from the usual 1.5-2 hr nap she usually takes.  Her lack of a nap, me being exhausted, and both of us being in a bad mood sort of ruined our Saturday plans. 

After lunch with my mom at Red Robin, I thought she would be sleepy for sure, but nope... Not. At. All.  Instead of napping, she decided to throw her paci out of her crib and poop.  After a quick change I thought she would drift off to sleep, but I was wrong again.  Luckily Ray came home and took over.  He occupied her while I took a much needed power nap, which instantly put me in a better mood!

I was rather disappointed that I had to cancel our run with Brandi because of our grumpy day so I decided to go for a walk since that usually puts us both in a better mood.  She had a great time and after all day of being awake the little stinker fell asleep in the stroller on our way back to the house!  Even thought it was 4:30pm when she finally fell asleep, we decided to leave her in the stroller so she could rest...  She slept for about 30 minutes, I was able to get dinner started, and she woke up in such a better mood!

I guess all we both needed was a little sunshine and shuteye!

Below are a few random pictures I've taken over the past few days:

This is her favorite spot in the kitchen- in our recycling crate.

 I think every parent has the naked pictures of their kid!  This is her before bath time attempting to clean up.  We're still working on that concept.

 She was ready for her close up and right after I took the picture she stole my camera!

 "Mom no close ups please.  I'm busy drinking my PediaSure"

 And yes she does have my glove on her hand...
