Even though I have the movie on DVD and have seen it a bajillion times… I still find myself watching it on TV right now, waiting for baby girl to wake up. Best movie EVARRRR!

For giving me two free game downloads! I had been really wanting to buy LittleBigPlanet but just couldn’t justify spending the money… yet you gave it to me for free! Woo hoo! :D

It seems that whenever Carly learns a new “trick” we have to start CIO all over again.

We cried it out when I realized spending 5 hours trying to put her to bed was too much. It lasted a tough 3 nights, but it worked.

Then when Carly learned to roll onto her back, she decided she would yell until I’d flip her back onto her tummy. Which created a downward spiral because then she wouldn’t want to go to sleep once she saw me. Took about 2 nights, and when she realized I wasn’t going to flip her over, she did it on her own and fell asleep.

Now we get to last night. I put Carly to bed as usual (although a tad later than usual) and about 5 minutes later she’s crying quietly. This is not out of the norm, but then she started screaming. I rushed in there, only to find her standing up. So I picked her up, we played for a while and I knew it wasn’t good for a routine, but I just missed her so much I had to. She finally fell asleep around 10:45ish next to me in bed. Then she woke up at 4 wanting to play, so back to the crib she went and was out for another 3.5 hours.

Then came tonight… She was asleep for about 45 minutes and then the screaming started again. I knew without even going in there that she was standing up, waiting for me to get her. As much as I wanted to, I stayed in the living room crying myself. I haven’t had such turmoil before, feeling both sides pulling me. I wanted so badly to just go in and hold her, but I knew if I did that I couldn’t be consistent during the week. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but she’s now been asleep for about the last 25.

It’s tough. I know that everyone parents their own way, and this is the way that I choose and is best for my family. But with that being said, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt my heart.

I know when she wakes in the morning she’ll have no recollection of it, which helps me to realize that I am helping her to become a well-adjusted, strong and happy girl.

OMG! Adorbz of the Day: Just another lazy Sunday for little Lucy.

[thanks bob!]

love this

So this morning, Carly slept in again which was wonderful. Once she was up we got moving and went to a Home and Garden show at Pomona Fairplex. It kinda sucked, but we were glad to get out of the house. Then we went to Ikea, and if I had a shopping spree there I think I’d go nuts! Then we went to Island’s across the street. All of this without Carly taking a nap, and we were prepared for the worst once we sat down to eat. She was wonderful!! She never cried once and took a quick nap on the ride home.

She took a good nap once we got home and then we went grocery shopping where she got to (finally) sit in the cart all by herself! I went to take a picture and realized I’d left my phone at home. Oops! Then we came back, ate dinner, and now she is asleep.

So now both Mike and Carly are asleep and of course I’m awake! I think I’m going to get on my long hiatus from Playstation Network (which is finally back up today, woo hoo!) and play some CoD ;) Do I really have to go back to work tomorrow already??

Wizard of Oz love…

I’m having such a difficult time finding the right balance between work and family. I know I need to work, I do it to help my family as a whole. But I feel horrible and can’t stop crying. I feel that I should be the one to take care of Carly, but I feel like I never see her. I am extremely grateful that my parents watch Carly, they do more for our family than I could ever imagine. But I feel like I’m not even the one raising her. I understand that my feelings of a working mom are completely normal, but I hate feeling this way. I hate walking out the door in the mornings. Le sigh. I guess you can’t have everything.
