Happy Girl

Saturdays are always hard for myself, Archie and Emma. They are like a limbo day, is mommy going to be tired or not? Usually it is yes. Today, like all Saturdays I was optimistic that I could go full speed ahead the whole day. I knew Arch and Em were still sleeping when I got off work at 8am so I decided to go shopping at Kohls. 2 1/2 hours later I headed home. At this point Emma had been up probably about an hour so I had a 2-3 hour window to do some errands, the problem with that though is I am very hesitant to drive especially long distances after working all night. I used to think nothing of it and drive straight thru to Hermiston, but having someone else in the car who is totally dependant on you makes you think twice. So I attempted to recruit a couple friends to go shopping with me, no go that late on a Saturday morning. I needed something to keep myself awake and wanted to spend time with Emma, what came to mind was move her room around. Had I not been to the point of exhaustion I would have remembered why I couldn't do this. I moved the bed, then the changing table and went to move the big dresser and it wouldn't budge. I didn't remember it being this heavy, usually her furniture just slides around. I looked behind it and duh! It is strapped to the wall so that if my little monkey figured out how to climb it, it wouldn't tip over ..... So I left the bed and changing table where they had ended up on opposite walls and fed Em lunch and laid down for my long awaited nap. She wasn't having it, if I was in her room laying with her I felt like a gym mat, if I wasn't in there she was crying. Finally after removing all the toys from her room (because she kept playing with them) and putting the furniture back, 2 hours later she crashed. I could finally go to sleep, till she woke up 1 hour later. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. The rest of the story will have to wait, I need to pass out now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
