Now Parenting: Week 41

Sunday: Woke up before 7am, so only six or so hours sleep. Phone call was delayed from 7:30am to 11am (lunch and snooze), so did some general cleanup. Lunch about noon, then into Steins;Gate until after 5pm. Phoned parents, went for a run, picked up a pizza and started into grading. Got through a chunk, stayed up past 11pm.

Monday: Woke before 6am, seriously? Tried to stay in bed longer, eventually up. Called after 7am; tablet hit little one in the head. Standard school, with some extra help at the end. Then did some Steins;Gate (and email) work, left 6:30pm. Fatigued after cooking in the evening, in bed before 10pm.

Tuesday: Up before 7am (one interruption in the night), phone call to France. Then while eating baguette toast, my mouth wire went funny, and it popped out while driving into work. Only time the dentist had was 12:15pm, had to set up an on-call for test. Back at school after 1:30pm (renewed licence at the same time). Less eventful evening, no detailed email since they're in Sceaux, got tidying done and grading started... to bed about midnight though.

Wednesday: Up before 7am, received call from airport. School day ran together due to literacy test, and I forgot to wear a tie in. But it was all fine, home after 4pm. Managed some grading. Out before 8pm for gas and to pick everyone up at train station. So happy to be reunited with little one! She has little hands. Home and bed routine, in crib just after 10pm. Downstairs by about 10:45pm.

Thursday: Brief wakeup after 5:15am as I hear things upstairs, then fully awake 6:30am. Hug to Alexandra, then breakfast, then to standard school. Extra help after school, home before 4:45pm and immediately with Alexandra for 1.5 hours as Jose heads out. (She'd already dropped the small tupperware lid into the bottom of the playpen.) Dinner after 6:15pm, then big bath. Story about 7pm (she can turn pages herself now if you lift them a bit), then BREAK. Did comic chat but too tired after 10pm for anything. (Little one in crib until 1am!)

Friday: Woke up 6am, immediately into grading for over an hour. Breakfast with others, then standard school plus anime at lunch. Home by 5pm, others still out (at Jose's, had to move the straps higher on the carseat too). With Alexandra for over an hour from 5:20ish (she seems keen on textures?). Then dinner and bath until 7pm. As it's sunny (not overcast), noticing that there's still enough light over curtains from outside now to see. Fussing tonight though, after 8pm (which took half an hour) then after 9:15pm. Quiet following, went downstairs after 10pm.

Saturday: I just wake up after 6 hours now. Got back to sleep. Upstairs 7am, some time with Alexandra, then dishes, breakfast, nail cutting during nap (and grading). Out for visit 10:30am, back for more grading. Out for "Captain Marvel" movie with Anne-Lise after noon. Back before 4pm to Jose's for tea, left after 5pm. Dinner before 6pm, an hour to head to bed (bath fun). Grading, with a couple hiccups, and a change at 9:30pm. Tired before 11pm, downstairs after.
