I AM happy, excited etc...I'm just so damn tired that it doesn't really show.

I have been fighting the ongoing bedtime battle. Grace's mother apparently is fine with a 2-year-old's bedtime being between 10 and 11
pm.

I am NOT ok with this at my house. Now that I am keeping little one the entire month, things have to change here. It's a battle that exhausts me, and leaves me feeling shitty and guilty. Last night was rough, but we made progress. I certainly don't love her any less I even still manage a smile when she wakes up at 1st light, cause she pulls it off so sweetly.
Other irritants to my yesterday include this damn lady that I am somehow now related to by marriage who took it upon herself to keep feeding my daughter CRAP when I would not. Grace wouldn't eat any of her dinner at the bbq, and just wanted chips. I tell her no, and right in front of me, this lady (she's somebody's grandmother) just up and gives her some. Everything I kept doing and saying, she would contradict. I basically had to pick Grace up and carry her away to keep Madame Douschebag from stuffing her with chips and watermelon.
I have learned that Grace likes the look of fireworks, but not the sound. She loves sparklers.
I need a nap...evryone pray that she settles down for one soon before I collapse

oh, and baby...thank you SO much for talking me down last night I appreciate it, I heart you for it.

oh, and I find this funny...watch it damn you all:
