Wow, what a night. I love my family. Loooove them, wouldn't trade them for a million billion bucks, but sometimes... whooo...
Last night Steve (the dog) and Syd (the baby) had a conspiracy going to see how long they could keep me awake. Here's a brief schedule:
9:00 -- Syd falls asleep. All is well.
10:29 -- I drift off.
10:30 -- Syd wakes up from a nightmare, is inconsolable for awhile.
10:35 -- Decide to go ahead and changer her diaper, on the guest bed in her room as usual. Syd calms down a bit.
10:36 -- Realize that Steve has pooped and peed on said bed, luckily in a spot different from where I had Syd.
10:37 -- Put Syd down, strip bed, spray bed with "Anti-pet-peeing-here" spray, wash hands, lay back down
10:59 -- Drift off
11:00 -- Steve barfs on our bed, right next to me. Nice.
11:01 -- Yell at the dog, then feel bad because he can't help it if he has to barf.
11:02 -- Go into the hall and pet Steve for awhile, and make sure he's ok.
11:05 -- Clean dog barf off bed, Febreeze bed, wash hands use bathroom
11:10 -- Decide to go ahead and watch that HBO movie Doris and Bernard (which I found... slightly odd and off-putting, but this could be because I watched it on mute with closed captioning)
1:29 -- Drift off
1:30 -- Syd wakes up with teething pain
1:31 -- Give Syd a bottle, offer her Tylenol and the homeopathic teething tablets, both of which are violently (and messily) refused. At volume.
2:00 -- Get Syd down again
3:29 -- Drift off (after a lot of Food Network)
3:30 -- Syd wakes up again, teething, and finally accepts some Tylenol. The Boy, who has to get up very early to go to work in the morning, finally gives up, gives me a kiss, and goes downstairs to sleep on the couch.
4:00 - 7:00 -- Blissful sleep!
7:00 -- Syd wakes up, bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Then today I had to go get a new tire and an oil change, which became a 4 hour Wal-Mart adventure that involved keeping Syd entertained and ordering 2 tires but only getting one.
Needless to say, I made chocolate chip cookies (out of a tube) when I got home. Ahhhhh, cookie dough.

Yeah, it only happens once in a while (well... now. She didn't start sleeping more than 4 hours at a stretch until she was about 10 months old). She's teething... trying to grow in about 3 teeth at once, which has to suck.
