500 Ways

****

I'm tired 500 ways. Any way you can describe tired, that's
how I feel right now, but here I am still up after
midnight. I really need to try harder to get to bed
earlier. I was doing good there for a few days, then I
reverted back to my old ways. There's only one thing that
will get me back into a healthy sleep schedule for sure...
Snookums. I want my Snookums back :(

Due to my inability to get to bed at a reasonable time, I
woke up SO late this morning. I hate started my day off
rushing, but that's exactly what I set myself up for this
morning. Keenan's appointment was at 9:10am and I didn't
wake up until 8:45am! Despite that, I still managed to get
myself, the girls and Keenan ready and out the door in
time. Thanks to Annie. She was such a big help. She got
herself dressed and Kiki, while I got myself and Keenan
dressed. There are days when Annie isn't in a very helpful
mood, but thankfully today wasn't one of those days. I
didn't even have to ask. She just did it.

Keenan's appointment went well. He's a healthy 18 pounds.
27 1/4 inches long. I thought he weighted more than that,
but he's still huge for his age. It's not like I have to
worry about him being thin or anything. The doctor says I
should start giving him cereal now, but I want to wait
until Snookums gets home. That's only 23 days away and
Keenan is only 4 months old. I want Snookums to be home to
experience that.

Since Keenan needed his 4 month immunizations and we were
all there, I got myself and the girls' their flu shots.
Well, they weren't actually shots. They did the nasal mist
this year, which was great. Annie had gotten herself all
worked up about getting a shot and Kiki was picking up on
that anxiety. So, only poor Keenan had to endure pain.
He's always so good about it, though. He cries over the
initial pain, but gets over it before we're even out of
the clinic and I always nurse him during the 15 minutes
they make us sit in the waiting room (to ensure he won't
have an allergic reaction). By the time we leave the
hospital he's forgotten about it.

The girls were invited to a birthday party today. Amy's
cousin turned 11. So, I had to pick her up a gift. The
rest of the day was spent enjoying birthday festivities
and then trick-or-treating. Amy took the girls for me, so
I could stay home with Keenan. I was grateful for that,
because it was drizzling slightly and I didn't want to
take him out in it.

I'm cutting this entry short tonight, because I really
want to get to bed now. Tomorrow I'm going to Holiday Fest
with Gen first thing and I don't want to start my day off
rushing again. Holiday Fest is a craft fair-ish thing that
Gen and I do pretty much every year (except last year.
Somehow I didn't make it). My goal is to find Keenan a
cute little fleece hat :) Ciao and goodnight.
