Rice and eggs

Rice and eggs...that's all I can eat at the moment...oh wait! Don't forget the dry toast! The sad thing is, it's really quite tasty to have that for every meal :) I made the brown rice in vegetable broth so there is some flavor there, and the combination of scrambled eggs and rice is quite yummy! It doesn't seem to be affecting Delanah's meals, so all is good there!
I had more energy today at least! I managed to get some laundry done, some cleaning done and occupy a very fussy little girl! Picture it....an exhausted mom who went to bed way too late last night, a bright, sunny day, and an adorable little girl who felt it necessary to "talk" in her "outside voice" all morning long.....oh, while the exhausted mom was attempting to get a nap in to feel human...it was not a pretty mix!
Our morning was developing into an ugly situation with mom and baby crying and bird doing her best to join in (lucky dog was at daycare), so I placed my sweet girl in her crib to cry and took myself off to the shower to cry and decided that there was no place for "crying, scary mom" in our day. I have no idea where I got the energy from, but I managed to pull some out and make my darling girl smile and laugh.
Nap time was oh-so-fun today (typed with as much sarcasm as possible), but there were things I needed to get done and Delanah needed a nap so it was into the crib and she tested the max volume of her vocal cords! I felt as if I was close to getting the "mom of the year" award (again, said dripping with sarcasm) as when I went to check on my quiet, sleeping girl, she was still recovering from her crying, with sad little hiccups in her sleep. Talk about stabbing me in the heart!
The afternoon went much better. My little stinker just wanted to be with her mommy. As soon as she ate some lunch she crashed out in my arms and slept for over an hour. I was too guilt ridden from earlier to try to move her. We also worked on rolling over on our new area rug...she was not impressed :) Oh well, there's always tomorrow! We are having spring-like weather here again this week so I am planning some outdoor adventures for us. I think we're going to head out to the dog park at Cherry Creek State Park tomorrow...let Bailey swim and give Delanah and I some sun. Now that she has sunnies that she'll wear...we're set!
