Sunny 9 for 2005 May 19

I've been fatigued lately. I have been wanting to go to bed at 10:30 instead of my usual midnight or so. I just run out of gas in the middle of the day. I wonder if it has anything to do with Lily waking up earlier now (at 7:45 :< ) or if has to do with her still waking up about every 3 hours for some odd reason. I guess everything is a trade off. We have a mild, good baby but she sleeps terribly. Maybe my next one will be really bratty, but will let me sleep through the night when they are almost 9 mos old! I can't blame Lily tough. Every time she gets close to sleeping pretty well, we get company and she gets kicked out of her familiar little nook in her room. I think I am also a little sick. Well, I know I am b/c I have a sore throat. I just hope it doesn't get bad b/c it is manageable right now.

I think Lily is teething again b/c she won't let my fingers go near her gums, and she has been a little tender and cranky lately. I hate when she teethes, it is so sad to see her in pain. She is getting so good at pulling herself up on things. She is also learning to alternate her legs when I hold her hands and walk her along the ground. Before she just had stiff legs and I ended up dragging them along the floor b/c she didn't know how to step.

I started listening to Da Vinci Code on cd and I am addicted to it now. I know some don't like it, but I am really getting into it. It reminds me of my humanities class I took and talking about the art works and different ideas and such in the class. It makes me miss school, and reminds me of why I love history so much. Maybe I just haven't come to the "blasphemous" parts in the book yet, but so far everything seems to be pretty logical and legit (besides the fact that it is a fictional story). Aaron got Angles and Demons from his brother for his birthday, so I want to read that after I am done with Da Vinci Code.

For Aaron's birthday I got him a new pair of dress/casual brown leather shoes, and a Dominos game we like to play at Dad's. He got from his mom spending money, and for family night we went to the mall on a shopping spree. Well, he did, but I lived out my want to spend money through him. Is it just me, or do you just feel sometimes like you just want to go shopping and get some cool nice stuff once in a while. You just need to spend some money and then you are straight? I feel like that once in awhile especially since lately we are on a budget and we haven't spent money on ourselves in a while except essentials. Anyway, it felt nice. Aaron bought himself some Xbox things, Carcassonne (a board game that is supposed to be like Settlers of Cattan), a year membership to Xbox live (don't ask me why someone would ever want this), a new Coleman cooler, cute spice bottles for our new house (ok, this is more of a gift for me, but Aaron liked them), a new belt, and what else...I think that is it.

He also got from his brothers a gift card to Cinemark (and free babysitting during the movie) and gift cert. to Cold Stone. Aaron couldn't wait to see Star Wars so he went and got tickets to the 10:30am showing tomorrow. I have never gone to a movie so early but it will be ok since we won't have to fight the crowd, and plus the babysitting can only be done in the day unless we wanted to deal with a tired cranky baby afterwards. So, that is about it for right now with us.
