Well, pole class never happened. At least Im keeping my goal of checking in though. G (my husband) was in a crappy mood all afternoon. We had to go vote which put a kink in our plans. The kids took a little too long to go to bed. Then G wanted to lay down with me, I think because he is not having a great day. So no time to take a shower, shave, and get to class. I was looking forward to it all day and I’m surprised how disappointed I am. I just need to remind myself that this time will pass and one day, hopefully soon, Ill have time to myself. This was going to be only the 3rd time Ive been out alone since B was born excluding a very few random quick grocery trips at night. The first was a trip to see Jurassic World, the second was the dentist, and the third was when G surprised me with a solo ticket to the movies after his work.
One day I wont even remember all this fatigue, the constant demands, and stress…right? Im already over one sleep hump. After 5 months of constant night feeding we now have B in a crib and although I still wake to feed him 4-6 times a night I can at least get some real sleep in between. I can write this post for example because he will front load with a 2-3 hour chunk of sleeping.
There is another intro class this Saturday. I had arranged a babysitter for a loooooooooong overdue date morning, but she had to cancel so the silver lining is I can take the weekend intro class.
Despite my husband’s crabby mood, I had a ton of fun today. A Music Together class, time at the park, a moms get together at a friends house with delicious treats and gourmet coffee, a walk, lunch outside in the beautiful weather, dinner at chickfila and seeing L gain the courage to climb up the indoor play structure, voting, wonderful synched 2 hour naps. B was the adorable calm happy baby he usually is with minimal time crying in the car. All in all I felt and feel lucky. Pole dancing can wait for another day!
