m_of_disguiseM called while I was at work yesterday, having a meltdown because the baby wouldn't stop crying and he had a tight work deadline, and he was fried and panicked. So, I left work a little early to relieve him, and by the time I got home he'd managed to get the baby to sleep.
I made gnocchi in a tomato cream sauce for dinner, and we both discovered that we are definitely over our gnocchi phase. Ugh. I'm in such a food rut. (I feel like I say this a lot.) I'm tired of all our recipes, but M keeps asking for heavy stews and beef, and I'm just over it. It's 95 degrees outside, I don't want beef stew. But guess what I'm probably making for dinner. -_-
Anyway, M woke up at 3am. He brought the baby into the bedroom so he could work in the office undisturbed, and she then went on to wake me up every hour until my alarm went off. ~sigh~ I am exhausted, and now I am sad, because I learned this morning that a lieutenant I used to work with died last night. What a terrible way to start the day.
My time off for M's out-of-town trip was approved. I'm looking forward to some time by myself, even if I do have the baby the whole time. Hopefully she'll be in a good mood and will just sleep and play for the 5 days I'm off, and I can enjoy those days a bit. I would like to sew. I would like to order in every day so I don't have to cook. I would like to sew. I would like to not clean a damned thing.
This weekend will be chores, of course. I'm really down to the dregs of my closet, so there's ironing to do. I will make a big pot of something that will last a few days. Maybe I can convince M to make spaghetti so I don't even have to do that. I'm planning to see Liz on Saturday, so at least I have a little time outside of the house. I'll try and poke at the corset and get some work done on it, but I'm not entirely hopeful. ~sigh~ I feel burned out.
