Midnight

It is midnight and here I sit, trying to craft a post that makes a small amount of sense.

I’m not too stressed about the lateness of the hour, seeing as how Amy screamed until 10.30pm. I figure that she has to regain the sleep SOMEWHERE and she may just sleep in for me.

Or not, you know, as she sees fit.

I maintain my lack of stressing about it, because GOD KNOWS Nathan has had enough sleep, he can play with her in the morning while I sleep.

Sleep is a sanity saver, dontchaknow?

Yes, I did just have to re read that entire first paragraph and remove unrelated words from it. I may just be a little bit ready for bed. Anyways.

Seven vomited on the beanbag today. It was my fault for throwing some rather oily food outside where she could get at it.

Funny thing? I didn’t know she had vomited until I sat in it.

Yes, you read that right. Sat. In. It.

And even then, I assumed I was sitting on a babywipe.

(What, you don’t have random babywipes laying around your house, making the furniture soggy? Oh, um, me either.)

I didn’t realise it was vomit until I went to get out of the beanbag and put my hand right into the oily, stinking, cold mess.

Even though everything has been cleaned up (yes, even me) I swear I can still smell it.

*shudder*

I have a whole post about our grey water and septic system and how whoever plumbed this house up WAS A FUCKING CRANK, but that can wait until tomorrow.

Needless to say, Nathan and I spent the afternoon digging holes, unblocking pipes and trying to understand how ANYONE would think that having a water pipe running uphill would actually work.

Ahem.

Postscript.

I wrote this at midnight last night and set it to publish at 11.59pm. Unfortunately I didn’t check the date and it didn’t actually publish.

Amy woke at 3am and decided screaming was all the rage, even though I tried to persuade her otherwise. She wasn’t in any form of pain because Nurofen flatly refused to fix her.

She woke this morning at 7.30am, so I have had approximately NO sleep. Send help? Please?

I am going to fix the time stamp so it looks like it posted last night. Just because I can.
