What a day!

Yesterday was a hard day.

Camron, who is now almost 13 months old, only has one little tooth that just barely came in right before his 1st birthday. What does this mean for me (ok, and him)?? It means that I have a one year old who's getting ready to have all of his teeth come in at once. So let me rephrase my previous sentence:

Yesterday was hell!

Camron was not himself at all. He was tired, whiny, cranky, throwing fits for no reason, didn't want to eat, wanted to eat, changed his mind again, wanted the pacifier, didn't want the pacifier.... I was pulling my hair out by the end of the day. Needless to say, we went to bed at 9pm last night - BOTH OF US!

Other things that made my day just that much lovelier (notice the sarcasm here):

1. Lizz and I were supposed to hang out, but she ended up falling asleep a little after noon and didn't wake up til like 5. I wondered all day what happened to her. I really don't mind though - I wouldn't have wanted to put Lizz and C through all of Camron's temper tantrums. It just would have been nice to get out of the house for a little change. Lizz if you're reading this, I still love ya! We'll just have to hang out another day!!

2. The maintenance people woke up Camron from his nap! I had FINALLY gotten Cam to lay down... Had to bribe him with a bottle... and no later then about 20 min in to his nap there were people on my front porch!!! Get this - the maintenance people (a man and a woman) were on my porch plugging in a TV to see if it worked. (We have 2 outside outlets right next to our front door....) Apparently someone threw out a TV in to the big industrial sized dumpster that sits right out side my house. (Gotta love Lincoln Military Housing! I'll have to get a picture later of this eyesore.) Well all the racket they were making caused Camron to wake up. Stupid people! Ugh. If I wasn't trying to keep Cam asleep I would have opened my front door and asked if I could have helped them... in the rudest possible voice!

3. The new next door neighbors are the loudest people ever!!! The walls in these townhouses are super thin. You can't be playing your stereo with the bass and volume turned up as loud as possible. You just can't. Period.

4. Ronnie's cell phone got shut off by Sprint just because we didn't pay the bill on the 25th. Ugh. The nerve! (There's that sarcasm again!)

I'm sure I could go on about my horrible day yesterday, but I can hear Camron starting to wake up!

Sounds a bit rough... Maybe you need a getaway? Somewhere that people can't knock on the doors just when you get the little one asleep!
