The Queen's Rambles

*If we have to have three hours of nightly screaming, I would appreciate if they would start at 7 or 8. It started at 10 tonight. Please, please, please let it not be an actual three hours of screaming. What happened to my sweet, sleepy newborn?

*Erik and I had some nice bonding time this evening. We made cookies, a nice, wholesome activity. I have a cookie scoop and really like my cookies to look nice. I have never let Erik use the scoop before, but he was begging and I guess there wasn’t a good reason not to let him. I ended up letting him do all the scoops, but I had to leave the room so I could leave him to his business. He was a very proud boy and I was pretty impressed. He did a good job for a four year old.

*We needed a bonding moment after a really rocky morning. The child SPIT in my HAIR. He is beyond lucky that I was feeding Elsa at the time or I wouldn’t have had time to calm myself and I would have beat his butt. Even after I had a few minutes to put her in her basket and start to deal with him, I was so angry I wanted to commit violence. I knew if I started I wouldn’t be able to stop. You can not even imagine how enraged I was. Or maybe you can. Imagine someone spitting on your head and how you would respond. Anyway, I spit on his head to show him how it felt. He didn’t like it. Then I put him in time out in his room for way too long. I knew if I had to look at him I would probably go nuts and either scream or spank. He thought I was terribly cruel, but I was just saving him from me.

*I have developed a fairly severe allergy to something. I suspect it is either my shampoo or conditioner. When I get out of the shower my face, back, legs and feet are covered in horrible red itchy patches. Somehow it is the worst on my feet, probably because I stand in the shower and there is enough water to make my feet soak in the stuff I rinse out of my hair. That’s my theory, anyway. If I’m not allergic to something in the shower I have no idea what it could be. I ordered some natural shampoo so I hope that helps. Problem? A lot of natural shampoos have lavender in them, which I am also very allergic to. Is there anything I’m not allergic to?

*I have more to say but I need to get my butt in bed while Mike is still willing to do the walking around. I have two things to do tomorrow that I can’t get out of. I am not looking forward to it, esp since I will have to be up and about fairly early.

*Please forgive me for my lack of commenting. I will try to be better, but it is hard right now.
