I just look innocent!
Today I had to give myself a mommy time out. Eliza did NOT want to sleep at all. I tried putting her down three times with no luck! She would not cuddle with me at all. She was squirming, arching her back and crying. I knew she was tired but she just wouldn't budge. Every once in a while she does this and I just get so frustrated. I start to foresee years of her and I battling it out to see who has the stronger will. It was about 3:30 and I just needed a break. I needed a little bit of silence and calm. So I put her in her crib and went in my bedroom to call Pete for some support. I don't even know what I wanted him to say. I just want him to be there when I want to pull out my own eyelashes one at a time in frustration. Little E was crying in her crib but mommy needed a break. After about 4 minutes I went back in and picked her up. She fell asleep in my arms. I brought her into my bedroom and we took a nap together for about an hour. AAHH the silence that ensued.
