another saturday

I hate how much whining I've been doing here lately, but dammit, being sick sucks.

This morning I felt worse, not better, and was really upset about that. I felt a little better after having my caffeine and bagel (albeit Isaac ate 1/4 of my bagel, that stinker LOL) but still have that head-about-to-explode feeling, and I keep sneezing outrageously. I was just counting the minutes until it was late enough to call my mom. ;) Isaac took a brief (like, 15-minute) nap on my chest, but got fussy when I tried putting him in his crib, and since it was 10:30am, much too early for nap, I didn't push. So I got us dressed and took him to grandma's.

Much excitement on the way! For the second Saturday in a row there were fire trucks zooming down our street with sirens wailing (Isaac: "Fire truck! Zie-wee[siren]!"), then they hung around in the street for a few minutes and drove off. ("Bye-bye fire truck!") Then when we got to grandma's place, there was a HUGE crane in the main street like half a block from her house. We just gave grandma enough time to throw on her coat, and I left them standing on the sidewalk goggling at the thing. LOL.

Then I came home, and now I do believe I'll be going back to bed. anotherjen, if you see this, email me and let me know if you still want to go to Hot Foods....

(no subject)

Well, while my mom had Isaac, I took a weird sort of nap, the kind where you lie there thinking "I'll never get to sleep" and then doze and keep waking up thinking "did I sleep for hours?" and the clock is all, "dude, it's only been ten minutes," and you're like, "well shit." But eventually you do fall asleep, and I probably napped close to two hours. I felt better when I woke up, but groggy, and it took me a while to bring my brain back up to speed.

So I ate a little and went to retrieve Isaac, then picked up anotherjen and her daughter, and we went to the Hot Foods party chez roozle and sunspiral. It was fun, but soooooo crowded, and so warm inside the house because of all the bodies. Isaac enjoyed running around between/through/under the people, and we both partook of some of the not-so-spicy food (and much of the dessert ;) ), and did a bit of socializing, and the next thing I knew it was 7:30 and Isaac was rubbing his eyes like crazy. Jen was ready to go too so we packed up and went. Got home at 8:30, realized Isaac had really just nibbled, tried to get him to eat more with limited success. He didn't get to bed till past 10, sigh. Bad mama! Here's hoping he'll sleep well (and long).

I think tomorrow we're going to have to brave the grocery store; we're out of a few absolute essentials like applesauce and toilet paper. (well, not totally out of toilet paper, but close)
