Yesterday was such a good day. But I think we overdid it because today sucked. I know it's going to be one of those days when I wake up with a headache. I figured flush it with some water and get some fresh air and all will be good. Ummm...nope!
We were off to the dog park in the early afternoon; it was gorgeous outside! Bay was excited and listening quite well...I wish I could say the same for the other dogs in there! Almost as soon as we walked in the gate there was a smaller dog jumping on me trying to get to Delanah. I was polite and used my Chuck-it to block most of the jumps but was getting quite irritated that the owner was sitting there and giving half hearted "don't jumps" to his not listening dog. Really close to punting this little creature...okay, not really, but I was irritated as heck! Bay did well, Delanah was fussy for quite a bit and I had to be in constant motion. That gets tiring after awhile! Headache remained by the time we left and when we got home Bailey had left me a not-so-pleasant surprise in the back of the car. Oye! Got that cleaned up and got back inside and Delanah decided it was time to start fussing again. Granted, she was hungry, but little did I know this was only the beginning...
Pretty much she decided that one position was good for a max of 10-15min this afternoon. She was most upset when her mobile continued to play musica and stopped spinning. Poor thing! I felt quite bad for her as she was just so uncomfortable this afternoon and nothing I did seemed to calm her down. It was one of those days though where I felt trapped to the couch. She was wanting to eat every hour or so and as she takes so long to eat, my afternoon was nurse, burp, change diaper, try swing/bouncer/playgym/crib and back to the beginning. This can take a toll on you! We ended the afternoon with both of us crying while sitting in the glider in her room. For some reason when I cry it tends to calm her down...wish the opposite were true!
I think I am just so completely starved for adult conversation. I am striking up conversations with strangers every place I go. There seems to be almost no room for conversation at home in the evenings anymore and although I send emails and texts to people during the day I am lucky if I get 3 lines back from people. When all you have is a crying unhappy little person that you can't make happy despite your best efforts and no outside communication despite your best efforts, it starts to wear a person down. I can't seem to stop the tears from flowing tonight, my headache is still here despite 2 rounds of tylenol and I am in such a funk that I can't seem to find it in me to go talk to my daughter who is cooing to her dad right now.
I really hope tomorrow will be a better day....

There are definitely days like that. But they don't last forever. I tend to talk my husband's ear off on days I don't have a lot of adult interaction. Poor guy, that's all he hears all day, and when he gets home he want peace and quiet. You can call me any time you want to. I'll talk to you! Do you have my number?? I hope you get some rest tonight! Cuddle Delanah, she won't be this small for long.
