My brain is drained

[muck_a_luck]

After a week of poor sleep, today I made a real effort to sleep with the baby. So had a brief nap from 10-10:30, then a longer one from 12-2, and now I'm looking at a little sleeping angel and trying to get myself ready for bed, though now my body is completley uninterested in sleep.

Why can't she just nurse like a good little girl and let me sleep, like her brother did?

Is it possible to growl, glare and dote all at the same time?

She was adorable with her brother tonight. They were cooing and making faces at each other. We tested out all her baby reflexes, our favorite being the fencing reflex, where a baby lying on her back assumes sparring stance. :)

These last few late nights, I have actually *watched TV*.

This is different from my usual TV watching, where I basically go along for the ride with whatever Husband is watching. I have been actually looking at the listings and picking out shows. Weird. I wathced a little bit of Notting Hill a couple of nights ago. And Roxanne was on last night. And Real Genius. Plus I've broken out the Stargate discs. I watched Demons tonight, which I hadn't seen before, which is pretty cool. Early unseen Stargate. Now The Incredibles are on.

Kinda dorky to feel excited about watching TV, but there you go. The wages of sleep deprivation.

Not fair! I had a brain-draining week, too! And in the end, all I'll have to show for it is a nicely closed fiscal year. Just have to do another one next year. YOUR efforts, though, are producing a lovely future young woman.

But. Am happy you are regaining control of your tv watching time. The basics are important! ;)

A nicely closed fiscal year is a thing of beauty. Almost as beautiful as a sleeping baby. And then, next year, you get the fulfillment of doing it again! So much joy in your professional life! We are all jealous! :p

Ugh. Perhaps sleeping during the day with her and waking in the night with her your body will get that thing soldiers learn of just being able to drop off whenever.

I'm not surprised you are choosing your TV watching. Since you're not back at work, you should decide what sort of "adult" stimulation you get. (Real Genius? ;-)

You hadn't seen Demons? Not my fave episode, but lots of nice bondage, and Teal'c looked smokin' hot when he was covered with that shroud and came rising up off that slab.

The Incredibles so rocks!!!!

Real Genius is one of my favorite movies EVER! My brother and I broke our homemade tape of it (recorded from HBO, I think). We got it on DVD a while ago, but somehow, we have never watched it.

Ha! I was wondering where that icon picture had come from. I couldn't remember any episode where Daniel got tied up while still in his BDUs.

Heh. Nuns oiling Teal'c up...
