Sheets

I've always said that there are very few things that are better than clean fresh sheets and that when I get rich (aka never) that I'm going to have a house keeper. And that house keeper would wash my sheets every night. Cool, refreshing, and smooth. 

What do you know... I am my very own house keeper and I could wash them every day. But now, I'm too tired too care. 

I told G Thursday night that I didn't have plans for Friday. He was like "good". Oh no, dude, that is not good. So not good. 

One thing I had prayed before we left to go to get Josie in China was that she would like outdoors (for my sanity).  God came through on that one. Wowsers. She loves going outside or going bye bye. So not having plans means whining and hours that seems to go on and on. 

Today was the first time that she asked to go inside. It was because we got a old child's table and chair from Mom today. Apparently it was a serious hit!! She loves it. I thought... I will teach her that she only gets a pen if she is sitting there. And I turned my eyes for a moment and she had scribbled on a chair. Thankfully it was a black chair. 

I know... Welcome to parenthood. It only get worse from here. 

We went out tonight for India food. We are trying hard to not limit stuff just because we now have a child. But there are just a few things that aren't the same. Like for example... Having to change a hideous smelling diaper in the middle of your dinner. Somehow coming back to that meal just isn't the same. 

Then back home on a Friday night to watch a baby Einstein video on things around the house (like chair, refrigerator, bathtub, bowl). Can anyone say BORING?  

G is taking bath time and go to sleep routine/massage. I'm taking night duty. I think we had four pretty good nights. And then the last two have been rough. We do the guessing game every time... Wondering what we need to do. Do we need another nightlight, or does it have to be certain pjs, or sheet?  Or is she grieving, or angry, or only needs 8 hrs of sleep a day?
