Is It Naptime Yet

I read a lot of blogs and think wow, I wish I could be that clever on a regular basis.
Now that I’m out of school I feel a little lost. I think it’s sunk in that my life is pretty uneventful. Once I get a car maybe I’ll be able to tell horror story’s of going out in public with two girls by myself. right now if I have both girls in public I also Have Jon, so we’ll see how the first trip to the library goes or to the park alone.

Now back to life.
My schedule has changed, kinda for the good, but I my sleep habits don’t think so. I’m going to bed regularly at 11 or 11:30pm. This helps because I was often all over the place on what time I went to bed, including sometimes not going until 12:30 am. One reason I’m going to bed earlier is because Jon’s been on the couch. We both find that we sleep better separately. We’re planning on getting a larger bed sometime, we’re going to upgrade to a queen, and get something like a temperpedic or maybe a sleep number bed where we can each choose the firmness we want. There was also an article Jon sent me at one point about men and women’s sleep habits. Men’s sleep is disturbed when they sleep with someone, as is women’s, but it affects men’s IQ and test taking type skills, where as it woman are not affected cognitively. This is why Jon went to the couch so he could have better sleep and hopefully be more productive.
I’ve needed better sleep because Eden is consistently waking up at 6:30 am. This really stinks. I don’t like it because one I am sleepy still, two I have 2 more hours with her than I’m use to. It sounds strange but I just don’t know what to do with her for that long. We get stir crazy a lot lately so this just perpetuates it.
Yesterday Eden fell asleep in the high chair for a second time because of her early hours.
I like getting the day started around 8. It makes it go faster. When I’m up from 7 it goes by so slow and then I have so much time to do the things that I like procrastinating and hiding from.

Overall I think I’m keeping my house presentable. Jon will be dropping off three boxes and one bag of DI stuff after work. We’ll also be getting rid of our glider chair and the baby swing. Though once the glider is gone it will be replaced with an exercise bike from Jon’s parents. Sigh. This weekend was productive though. I got Jon to go through a few boxes and and we condensed and threw away. It feels good to let go of things. We have such a small place that I’m very willing to give away things that are cluttering the place, though we still have plenty of clutter.
Today I’ve been organizing the book shelves and I was able to unpack one box of books. The problem being this box was used as part of an end table type thing in our bed room, so now instead of a three foot high stack of boxes it’s 2 feet. ( I had it covered with some fabric so it wasn’t totally cheesy looking.) I might take our CD box and used it in it’s place. It’s just siting in our entertainment center right now. We need to buy some media shelf to go who knows where, but who knows when we’ll get it. Anyone want any CD’s? Just kidding Jon would be upset because most of them are his.
As soon as we get rid of the old crib I’ll have all that storage space under Lilah’s bed. The problem being the crib parts are too big to set out for the trash men, though I’m very temped to do because they did take away a tall shelf that had been in the back yard. So we’re thinking what might be easier is getting someone with a truck and take the crib and wood from our back yard to the dump. It’s getting someone with a truck. We have my dad, but we’ve use him so much lately that we feel bad. We’re getting rid of the crib that Lilah used as a toddler bed because we’ve lost some parts that are not replaceable and it’s the most confusing crib ever. The directions are very vague, which we didn’t realize until we got it out and looked at it this weekend to see if we could give it to someone. I guess if someone wants to try to figure it out they can, but I don’t think it’s worth it, plus since it’s so vague you don’t know if you’d be compromising the safety of the baby. So we just want to get rid of it.
Life is crazy and very messy. Why can’t everything stay clean and organized and just disappear when you don’t need it anymore.
