    Musings from my life:

    • "Oooooh, Yower" Louise, when we hoist her up to see the Eiffel Tower in the distance from our kitchen window.
    • "When did they conspire to no longer take an afternoon nap?" Me. Desperate.
    • "Louise has a butt, not a zizi" Gab, in the bath with his sister
    • "They spread chaos in less than a minute" Etienne, as the kids dive into their toy basket

    Pissy

    That could describe my mood today. Some people get in bad moods when they are hungry and me, well, when I'm tired, you just don't mess with me. Usually my threshold of pissiness starts around 9 pm when I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. By midnight, you don't even want to talk to me and I am usually asleep as soon as I hit the pillow. Coincidentally, that is usually the time when Etienne asks me to look at our account situation or discuss stuff like our trip or tells me that he wants to buy an 800 dollar camera in the US and that he found 'something' at around 100 euros that would be a great gift to bring back for people (last time I checked we were still teachers making teachers' salaries and NOT the salary of a CEO!)- all things, especially the last one, that really go over badly when I'm dead tired.

    The good news is that Miss Louise fell asleep at our KNOTS gathering around 8 pm and slept until 5 am! 9 hours of sleep, if only I had known and I would have gone to bed when she did! The bad news is that we had a change of plans in our trip and I needed to send out emails and get that taken care of so I didn't go to bed until 1 am. And the even worse news is that little mister Gab comes into our room at 6:15 am, only 45 minutes after I had put Louise back down after her feeding and after I had just barely gone back to sleep. So, I didn't get much sleep last night and despite a 2 hour nap this afternoon am still on edge. Tonight, I'm going to bed when Louise does- anyone want to place bets on whether or not she'll sleep 9 hours again? I bet she doesn't!
