I am thoroughly enjoying the break I am getting from Luna girl today. Oy, what a weekend. She's just so whiny and needy these days. And she is in a total mommy phase, so anytime I walk into the room, it doesn't matter what I am doing, she wants my attention or me to hold her. It's exhausting. Today D was giving her her morning milk and I came in to say good morning. Well, as soon as I walked out, she started crying and got really mad. Even when I came back in and tried to soothe her, she was just plain pissed at me. She tried to wriggle away from me and she threw her lovie away. She holds a grudge, for sure. Wonder where she gets that one?
Interesting things of note:
- Yesterday we went to visit Olivia, one of her day former daycare teachers, on her houseboat in Sausalito. How cool are houseboats? If I thought I could live with D, Luna, and two cats in a space that small, I would force us to move. However, given my need for personal space, I have a feeling one or all of us would end up overboard.
- Olivia spoke to Luna girl in Portuguese and she lit up and got so happy. I think she recognizes the language from Rejany. It was very sweet to see. Olivia also served us Pao de Queijo, which are little cheese balls, and Luna loved them!
- I saw two very interesting things yesterday:
- In Mill Valley, a little girl with her nanny, carrying a real Coach bag. The girl was maybe 6 years old! What?
- Getting onto the 101 South, someone driving a Pontiac Vibe packed with so much trash, only his or her eyes were visible. Do the cops stop this guy or can you really get away with this stuff in Marin?
- D has encoraged us to wean Luna girl from the bottle. She was only getting one bottle in the AM when she woke up, but for the past four days, she's gotten a sippy instead. Guess what? He was right (imagine that?)! I think she's weaned. This kid is so easy in some ways and so difficult in others.
- Things I've bought Luna girl recently: shoes to fit her new orthotics and new cloth diaper covers that hopefully won't make her have so much junk in her trunk
Questions on my mind:
- How much is too much wine? Does drinking wine every night qualify me as an alcoholic?
- Should I go back to work full time if everything is okay with Luna girl? What should I do about daycare?
- Would I drink less wine if I wasn't so bored at night, i.e., if I was working and catching up on emails after she goes down?
- Should we have another kid? And if so, when?
- Should I enjoy being a mom more than I am right now? What can I do to not feel so overwhelmed? Feed her McDonald's?
- When does being a mom and guilt not go hand in hand?
- Will my slow cooker beef curry turn out well?
- What should I do with my hair? Keep it short or grow it long and wavy again?
- What does it mean if I had a dream where I devirginized my childhood best friend's younger brother and in reality, I considered him my younger brother, I was never attracted to him, and I haven't seen him in like 20 years?
- What does it mean if in that same dream, my husband, was my real-life brother? And no, I am not into incest!
And on that note, I am going to check the slow cooker.
