Day 159: Wednesday

I need to work-out.  I haven't since Friday.  Jeesh!  I'll get to go tomorrow, Friday, and possibly Saturday, if she does a class.

I couldn't go this morning because we had to leave early to get to CenTex in time for the SCM.  I wanted to leave at 0900, but Puck wouldn't poop, so we were about 22 minutes behind schedule.  Good news was that they changed the speed limit on I-35 to 75MPH in the more "rural" stretches, so that helped.  There were still people going about 10MPH over and getting pulled over... I guess it'll never be fast enough for some people.

We got to Heights and I nursed Eisley for about 8 minutes, then had to head out.  I still only got to the III Corps Headquarters at 1120, even leaving the house at 1048.  However, I made it.  Eis was swooned over by everyone and the guys downrange got to see her, too.  She was very alert and happy.  However, a few minutes into the meeting, she didn't like sitting still, so I stood up and rocked her in my arms.  Eventually, that wasn't enough and I took her into the hallway so she wouldn't scream and interrupt the meeting.

She didn't do hardly any "crying," but just occasional shrieks of irritation.  She was tired, but wouldn't go to sleep.  After about 25 minutes, she passed out in my arms and I was able to sneak back into the meeting for the end of it.

Unfortunately, after the guys signed off the VTC, we still had to sit through 20 minutes of meeting crap. Then I had to wait until everyone finished chatting because we had to be escorted out and thus, had to go as a group!  So, instead of getting back to the house at 1300, I was leaving post at 1310.

I was totally starving because I hadn't had a chance to eat anything all day.  My yogurt was sour and I didn't have time to stop at Starbucks and I couldn't take anything into the meeting.  I asked Dad if we could stop by Sonic on the way home.  I got a new toaster melt (mushroom and swiss) and a small malt and he got a large malt.  He loves the Sonic chocolate malts.  They put a lot of malt in them, which makes him happy.  He can rarely find a malt that is up to his standards.

I worked on stockings this evening.  All I have left to do is make and put hangers on them, put names on them, and then put the stars on them.  I think I can get that done.  If I don't have time, then I won't put names on them.

I got the book about babies and sleep and am going to commence reading now... I'll let you know how it goes.

Tonight I got her down by 2115, so that's improvement, especially considering it was with minimal crying.  Hopefully, I can do even better tomorrow.
