Urgh!

Warning, doing some venting here....it is 6pm and it has been a very long day! Izzy and i battled most of the day today, she just was so hard to get down for a nap. I just don't get it, last week, mon-thurs she was awesome, 2-3 hour nap in the swing in the morning, 2 hr nap in the swing in the afternoon and sometimes one more for about 45 mins late afternoon. Today, she HATES the swing, if she does fall asleep in it she is awake in a half hour. I was only able to get her to take 1 good nap all day for about 2 hours up in her crib, but of course it was after several trips to put in the pacifier!

I know she is exhausted, and she has a bit of a cold so I am sure she doesn't feel the greatest. I just wish when they were exhausted the would SLEEP instead of turning into little frustrating monsters! I am so tired! Last night she woke up at 1 and and 4 and i got up with her at one, couldn't go back to sleep, then she fussed at 4 but put herself back to sleep until about 5 when dh finally went up there and tried to put int he binky which made her scream, because she was starving so, and of course i am listenign to it all on the monitor, so much for sleeping for me. Then he brings her in bed with me at 6, when she wanted to play not sleep! Urgh, she did take a little nap with me in bed from about 7-8 but man it has been a long day!

My friend MB is coming tonight to let DH and I go to dinner, since we haven't had dinner just the 2 of us in a long time and I am travelling again this week to finish my training with my old company. I leave on Wed and come home late friday night. Part of me is really sad to leave but another part of me is kinda looking forward to the break. (And sleeping through the night for 2 nights in a row!!! )I haven't been away from Izzy other then when she is sleeping since last wednesday since DH was busy working on the house this weekend so I didn't get anytime off, plus i was sick on top of it.

Okay i am done venting. On a positive note, we took Izzy to her first Major League Baseball game yesterday and she did great. She slept inthe Bjorn on me for hte most part and then ate and was happy at the end. The bonus was even the Tigers won!, Dh said he was 35 before he saw a win in person :)

I have a picture of her at the game but haven't downloaded it yet. I will and will post later.

Time to go finish my beer and try to unwind a little without falling asleep :)
