Instead of being an easier week, it was actually busier than before. So much so that today, Thursday (Saturday), has been a complete throw-away day. Josh got up with the baby at 6 because she kept yelling and pulling my hair while I was trying to sleep, then we tag-teamed and I hung out with the baby while he slept.

He’s always nice and takes the first shift because I’m not a napper and he is. Once I’m awake then I’m up for the day, but he can fall asleep at will. We used to do this all the time on Saturday mornings in Oklahoma and Virginia when Calvin and Carter were little. He’d play with them while I slept in as long as I wanted and then he’d go back to bed for a few hours while I played parent.

By 10am we were all up and finished with breakfast, but we had to kill time waiting for the repair people to come and fix our A/C units. (The short version: they leak water all over the floor all the time and we’re tired of it.) While we were waiting, I stumbled upon this real life Dwight Schrute/Jim Halpert: http://www.27bslash6.com/f26a.html and Josh and I spent the next hour cackling over it and other funny things that this dude has written (also funny are the entries titled Missing Missy, Flash Drive Infringement, and Party in Apartment 3).

By this time Camille was crabby and ready to nap. Then my eyes refused to stay open so I crawled in Calvin’s bed for a nap (because the A/C people were in our bedroom).

When I dragged myself downstairs a few hours later, Josh handed the baby off to me and went back to sleep. And that’s been our day. I’m currently eating Tim-Tams and tortilla chips for “lunch” as I sit in my pajamas at 3:30 pm. I tried to clean the kitchen, but the dishwasher door will not close, even though there is nothing in the way and I’ve tried to slide the rack in and out a bazillion times to see if it makes any difference. It doesn’t. But I did manage to rescue a DVD and 6 of Camille’s fridge magnet toys from the trash — I guess she had a busy day, even if we didn’t.

PS: Remember how excited I was when we finally got our dishwasher after months of not having one? It’s back to washing by hand until this one can be fixed. Josh figured out that the latching mechanism is broken, which is why I couldn’t get the door to shut. The reason we didn’t have a dishwasher before is because they only had one available, but it was broken and no money was budgeted to fix it. Let’s hope there’s money available to fix this one . . .
