Day 165: Tuesday

I think I may have to skip days 166 and 167, since I'll be in Heights tomorrow night (not only busy, but no internet and won't have my laptop) and will be post-surgery on Thursday.

Eis slept seven hours last night, then another four.  She took two good naps today -- an hour each -- and then a short nap this evening.  However, I've been sitting in the nursery for an hour and a half, trying to get her to sleep.  She'll either screw around and make herself stay awake or she'll cry and pee when she cries, then I have to change her and she'll do it again.

I don't want her to be in the habit of nursing right before bed.  Though it was really hard to nurse her tonight.  She nursed maybe two minutes and was screaming and arching, which meant it was either something I ate or really bad reflux.  I tried thawing some milk from the freezer, but she got a weird face and kept spitting it out, so that was a bust.  Eventually, I tried nursing again and she would cry when she was laying back, so I had to nurse her sitting straight up, while sitting on my lap.  She fussed a bit, so I walked around, holding her in an upright position.  She nursed about 13 minutes, which was good, but it was odd to have to let her nurse that way.

Today I got my hair cut.  I could stand the dead no longer and made an appointment with Amy.  She cut off the dead and shaped it into a really cute style.  She also said she'd thin or cut the bottom for free while I was trying to grow out the rest, which is nice.

I think it'd be fun to go to beauty school... or hair school.  I'd like to know how to do all that stuff.  I could do Eisley's hair and my hair and we wouldn't have to pay someone else to do it.  Too bad it costs money and takes time.

When I got home, I nursed Eis and then I gave her to my dad to watch while I made fudge for tomorrow's FRG meeting.  I found a peanut butter recipe and a chocolate recipe and made them both and made layered chocolate peanut butter fudge -- it is so delicious. Though a couple pieces make me wanna puke because it's so sweet.  I don't see how fudge costs so much money... the basic ingredients are cheap.

Last, but not least... it rained today.  Not mass amounts, but enough to help a tidbit and to provide for a decent SOUNDING thunderstorm... lots of thunder and wind and a bit of rain.
