Saturday night was a rough night.
Had my friend watching Ellie so we could go out to a birthday dinner. I was excited to get out of the house with the hubby and see some friends we don’t see very much.
I had myself all prepared with what I was going to order. I knew I needed to be good and I also didn’t want to spend too much. But, the restaurant lost the reservation and we ended up at my old haunt…the sports bar…where I’ve ALWAYS ordered drinks and things that are not good for Operation Purple Dress. Needless to say, I was a naughty girl.
Not only, did I frack up my diet. But we ended up spending more than planned…half of our weekly grocery budget. Well, shoot.
At least I had a good time. That’s important, right?
I try to write it off as an “Opps, I’ll do better next time” and try to get to sleep despite some lingering guilt.
That’s when the little girl starts waking up.
Poor thing has her first cold and has difficulty breathing through her nose, so it’s much harder to get her back down. And, she has a harder time staying down. The usual tricks don’t work.
After several hours of limited sleep, I feel like I’ve been hit by an Anvil and there are little birdies circling my head. And, I could hear those birdies as if they were real…because they were…they were outside, joyous to say that morning has arrived. Didn’t they realize that I wanted to go back to sleep?
Thank goodness it was a Sunday and I had Rob around today to tag team. I’m not sure I could have handled today on my own. Daddy has a way with her that I can’t always duplicate.
Hoping I can get some sleep tonight, because it is HARD to have will power when you’re beat. Tomorrow’s a new day and a new week and I WILL get back on track.
I swear.
Really.
(I say this as my hubby is upstairs making cookies…sigh.)
Aww, sending good sleeping vibes your way for tonight! And I completely understand the budgeting guilt…eating out gets us every month too!
I love your blog design – great job!
Sorry about the dinner. Wasn’t food. I really wanted italian to see if Kinsley was over her dairy issue. That’s why I picked Olive Garden in the first place. We still plan on writing to corporate and tell them how much they suck!
Have you tried getting a wedge? They may a little one that elevates their head a bit. Sometimes it seems to work for Kinsley.
My own fault for having NO will power. It was great seeing everyone!
