It gets better!

So, after yesterday's post, things have gotten more interesting....

I woke up and glanced at the alarm clock some time last night...there were no numbers on it. The face was glowing, but no numbers. It could be 3 am, it could be 6 am...as in IT'S 6 AM AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE LATE FOR WORK!!!! Fortunately, it turned out to be 1:50. I could not fix the clock, so I set my phone alarm and went back to sleep.

Alex was great. Slept the whole night. I found him on the floor, though, as he must have rolled off the mattress at some point. I put a comforter around the edge of the mattress for this occasion, though, so at least it was a pretty soft landing.

We ate breakfast and headed out. We were about 5 minutes from the sitter when Alex made some funny noises...turned out to be puking noises. Great. I have stuff that needs to get done at work...the conference schedule for parents, a project to set up for this week, blah, blah, blah...and Dan with the slightly more flexible schedule who might be able to take Alex while I went to work early, got some things done and prepared for a sub, then raced home and took Alex so he could go to work...well, he's in INDIA. So, I made it to the sitter, took Alex out of the car. He was fine. I guess breakfast didn't sit well with him, but you'd hardly know that. He was running all over the place, like his usual self...only difference is that he smelled a little like pukey breakfast.

So, off to work. It's 1:30 and haven't heard from the sitter yet. So far, so good. But I am setting up for tomorrow as if I might be out, just in case.

Did Dan and Alex plan this?

Dan: OK, while I'm away, you do the following: wake up early, try to climb out of the crib, puke on the way to daycare and break the alarm clock...we'll see how sane Laura is when I get back!!

Alex: Doggy! Doggy? Ma-ma! Da-da! Doggy!


And this is only day 2!
