and sometimes, this is how the morning goes.
today i got a replacement for my iphone b/c my former iphone started giving me an error message and blah blah blah i have apple care apple replaced it. of course, with the original phone model. i actually am pretty happy with it and don’t want to jump in to the 3G phone b/c of the increased cost of the data plan. i’m happy with it, especially since my service has gotten better in my house. or i just don’t use it enough as a phone to notice. i do use it has a hand held computer a bunch. it is the perfect thing to use while nursing/putting baby to bed. i love it. love it. i bought this game called finger physics and it has provided much entertainment while rocking.
i miss sleep.
i have not slept more than two hours in a row in a very long time.
liam is teething/growing/loving. i think his reflux meds stopped working (they are very sensitive to weight) and we thought we was just teething/may be getting a cold. but then it became apparent it was his reflux. the dr upped his meds, so i am hoping this helps. the problem now is that i am so exhausted that i do not have the gumption to rock him back to sleep when he wakes up at night and just bring him to my bed. which does not result in quality sleep for me. and greatly irritates my hip from laying on my side. i really need to just go to sleep earlier. but i am all in a little arts and crafts project right now so i’m doing that once the kids are in bed. which is just an hour. b/c naps have not been concurrent today, so i am itching to work on my project. which means. bed at 9-10 again. (I know. that is early. but not early b/c you are as tired as i am)
something about cookies made with ginger makes them particularly addicting to me. also: see last paragraph.
so it is snowing in the south. i remember it snowing at least once a year in atlanta and hot springs. but according to becca, it rarely snows in houston. though didn’t it snow last year. i think it is funny how much people have twittered/fb’d about it today. though if it rained as much in chicago as it rained in the south this year, i would have many many tweets about it. also. i will tweet about the snow. and by tweet i mean bitch. b/c that it what i do. i complain about the snow.
I’ve lived in Houston for 8 winters now (omg, I’m getting old). Its snowed three times. Once on Christmas eve a few years ago (I was not here at the time, I was in Florida), once last year, and now this year. This is the earliest Houston has ever recorded snow. Last years was way better because 1. it was a surprise not forecast like this event 2. it stuck to the ground at about 10 pm at night and everyone woke up their kids and sent them out to play in it, which brought the neighborhood to life.
So yeah, its a pretty rare event. They closed all the schools early. There’s no infrastructure to salt the roads. Apparently the airports don’t have de-ice equipment so flights get canceled.
I just watched the news they are very proud that Houston has now recorded more snowfall for the winter than Chicago.
