Now Parenting: Week 46

Sunday: Screams before 4am... wet sack. Managed another hour maybe after 5am, dreamt of woman size of a fingernail and then some junkyard tour, awakeish after 6:15am. With Alexandra for about 2 hours after 7am. Break, change, then breakfast before 11am (Mom's eggs). Another break, including a snooze for both Dad and little one, awake 12:30pm. Out to lunch with everyone by 1pm, including DQ; home before 3pm, others continue, Dad gets steps in and does yard work. Everyone home by 4:30pm, snooze. With Alexandra for 75 minutes from 5:30pm (added lids to her kitchen cabinet), then dinner, bath, crib. Mom had to step up during dinner/dishes, seemed settled after 9pm, downstairs after 11pm.

Monday: Briefly awake 5am but six hours sleep; dreamt was being fitted for a retainer? Late to school but taking classes? With Alexandra for half an hour after 6:45am, then prepped for the week. Standard school with some extra help at the end, then off to math meeting for minutes. Left there after 6pm, home after 6:30pm for another half hour with little one. Dinner after 7pm, in crib after 8pm, Mom did a good job. Downstairs before 11pm.

Tuesday: Awake 6am so 6+ hours of sleep. With Alexandra for about 45 minutes from 6:45am, breakfast, then standard school with help at lunch. Worked after school to after 5pm (including posting again on Tapas) then Cappies and play related things. Left 9pm, home 9:30pm, things had been rough. Stayed up to munchkin awakening at 11:45pm; downstairs by 12:15am.

Wednesday: Awake 5:45am, having dreamt of souls floating around a mystery boat? With Alexandra for half an hour from 6:45am, then breakfast and out to drop car off. Standard school with duty at lunch and extra help after school. Stuck around organizing through to the play, when should have been grading. Home for 9:45pm - and apparently the little one had resisted snooze all afternoon, only to pass out at 5pm. To crib for 6:30pm. I'm out of it before 11pm so only see her on monitor.

Thursday: Awake by 6:30am having dreamt of instructing computers at some camp? Which means 7 hours sleep(!). With Alexandra for 45 minutes from 6:50am (after her food), then breakfast and standard school - with OSSTF meeting at lunch and extra help after school. Then dealing with show programmes and Cappies setup. Show ran from just after 7pm to just before 9pm, then an hour for Cappies to talk. Left school around 10:45pm, finished meeting minutes at home to 11:30pm. With little one from 11:45pm to 12:30am then downstairs.

Friday: Dreamt someone had posed as a chess player in database, caught by Linkara who had played original player, so toured his house... sure. Awake by 6:30am. With Alexandra for half an hour from 6:50am, breakfast, and out to pick up car. Standard school with anime club at lunch and leadership camp on prep so no downtime; snared after school. Home after 5pm, an hour with little one (bit of back and forth later on). Dinner 6:15pm and bed routine. Took 15 minutes to lie down, then dinner. Fussing before 8pm and 9pm. Downstairs after 10pm. Upstairs after 10:30pm. Downstairs after 11:30pm.

Saturday: Awake after 6am so usual six hours; dreamt about some passage through rooms? With Alexandra for over two hours from before 7am, including standard snooze; exhausted. Brunch out, then more munchkin time for over 90 minutes until 1:45pm. After 2pm I go out to check out comics, back before 4:30pm and some time with Alexandra before back and forth as I grade. Also, broken glass on picture as we danced too close. Dinner 6:15pm, then routine - and at 7pm she won't sleep, trying to crawl away. (1.5 hour sleep while I was out may be part?) Joined them in room until 7:40pm (Mom leaving sparked tears); down in new sack after 8pm. Quiet from before 9pm until I go downstairs before 11pm.
