AHHHHH. . . Sleep!

Trey went behind my back and got my mom to watch Grace last night so we could have "date night." We saw the new Batman movie and went to a cool new bar/grill. More on that later. My mom kept Gray all night and we'll pick her up later today. Let me just say that I feel more human today than I have in weeks. It's amazing what a little sleep can do!

Grace used to be sleeping through the night. This was at about 2 months (I think). The last month or so, Grace has returned to getting up at 3 and 5, and sometimes more than that. I think she's a bottomless pit! I started feeding her solids at 3 months thinking that it would help, and it did a little, but didn't solve the problem. She now eats oatmeal for breakfast with a mix-in of fruit and cereal at night with a mix-in of vegetables. She's eating every three hours on the dot. Still, not sleeping through the night. Needless to say, after a couple months of this, I'm a walking zombie!

School starts in two weeks and I'm trying to get ready, but I feel so scatterbrained that I can't get organized. AHHH! I dropped her off at daycare yesterday so I could cut my Crucible unit from 7 weeks to 3, and that helped. She'll probably go 2 or 3 days this week so I can get my room ready and finish up some planning and paperwork.

The new Batman movie was pretty good. It was a little hard for me to follow (maybe due to lack of sleep); I felt like they were talking too fast and I couldn't understand what they were saying. It certainly was darker and more depressing than the other movies! I kept finding myself trying to analyze the joker. Then I found myself thinking, I wonder if Heath's ex watched the movie and how she felt about seeing him in this role. (Remember, I did tell you I was scatterbrained) After the movie we walked down the street to a new bar/grill called Zingers. It was great! Good service, good food! They had TV's EVERYWHERE! We watched part of the opening ceremonies, split a hamburger, had a Stella, and headed for home. It was quite a nice evening!

I know I promised some of you that I would have pictures up, but we've had a computer issue this week. Our desktop which stores all of our photos is having some power problems and keeps restarting. Trey ordered a part to fix it and once it's fixed, I'll be able to access the pictures from my laptop. Right now all I get is an error message. Ugh! Technology is great, but only if it works properly! I'll try to get the pictures up soon!
