WHEW! Lee worked through last night and its 7pm on Saturday and still working on all the down powerlines in Walla Walla. Gretchen did not understand where daddy was--she knows he is at work but her little mind can not comphrend two days without her daddy!! To tell you the truth it was a long day with a two year old--especially when she refused a NAP for two hours and was so tired could not even function by five--I let her go swimming--bathing suit and all and we blew bubbles!! At 4:30 she climbed up on our bed and laid down with the cat--maybe because I made it a big deal the cat was being good taking a nap and she was being naughty!! I hear this dialog with the cat---You are good meow... you sleep on mommy's pillow and are not naughty! I will take a nap with you--lies down and tells me to turn out the light and close the door. haha!! The cat has been very very naughty lately crying and demanding attention when I put G to bed and has even woke her up in the morning! Gretchen was playing in the tub for about an hour when MELTDOWN HIT!!!(no nap--no d
addy) Let me tell you---I was on the phone and she did not want to get out of the tub--she was exausted--her BIG BLACK EYES were glassy and she could not even cry----I got off the phone ---held her in the towel to calm her down and put her jammies on and made her dinner. She laid down on the couch and was asleep at 6:30 pm-----now my prayer is she sleeps until 6:30 am!!! We will see --but for now I am sitting enjoying my evening (with the spoiled cat on my
lap)(watching COPS--because thats what we always watch Saturday night)(and writing about Gretchen--ha! Do you think I could find something to do fun for me--like scrapbook --they would be Gretchen's photos too ) (not complaining one bit!!) But do you see a pattern ...... Oh---a mother's attention is always needed----NO IDEA when my working husband will be home!!!

WELL.............9:30 pm--I hear a voice from the top of the stairs-Mommy can I watch Heffalump--I did let her watch it and gave her a graham cracker--Lee called and said he woul be home by 11--sooo we waited for daddy-she was sooo tired and asked to go to bed a few minutes before he got home--I thought it would be easy to put her back to bed--but the cat came in 3 times! Then daddy took a shower(she hears all)---and she tossed and turned until 1 am!!! Lee left (Sun am) at 6am to go back to WW and "G" heard daddy leave---so she will hopefully be tired for NAP--one could only hope!! The day was long.......................
