I am going to break my streak of writing 7 Quick Takes Friday posts.  It’s been a rough week, and the last day has been particularly tiring.  Here are some highlights; I’m sure you’ll understand why I don’t want to put in the effort to write a full-blown 7QT post today.

10:40 pm–went to bed, a little later than I wanted but the earliest I went to bed all week (too many important things keeping me up–grocery shopping on Monday, putting together paperwork for the homeschool partnership program on Tuesday because it was due Wednesday and they just finally acknowledged on Tuesday afternoon that they lost the paperwork that I turned in back in August that I had been asking and asking about, and finishing our Christmas shopping on Wednesday)

11:00 pm–Clara woke up before I fell asleep; she had been feeling under the weather

midnight–I gave up trying to get Clara to sleep in her crib and decided to try sleeping with her in the bed in her room

1:30 am–after many alternations between sleeping briefly and screaming uncontrollably, Clara puked on herself, me, and the bed

~3:00 am–I finally fell asleep, after putting the puke laundry in to wash and settling in with Clara on the couch in the living room

7:00 am–Simon came downstairs and woke us up

8:30 am–I put Simon and Clara in for a bath

8:35 am–Clara pooped in the bath, prompting me to drain and clean the tub and start over again

This cute bath picture belies the drama.

And so it goes.  Ah, the joy of parenthood!  I hope to have a regular post next week.
