My Valentines Day started out great. Mikey got home from work at about 8, [He work's grave, from 11 pm to 7 am] and Makayla was just waking up. We got ready and left so he could sleep. I got out to my car, and in my front seat, was a giant teddy bear, some candles and a dozen roses. And on Makayla's car seat, was a little monkey. She loves that little monkey. Late that night, Mikey took me to dinner at Chili's, while Makayla was home with Brandi. We got home, put her to bed, and went to bed ourselves. At about 1, she started screaming. Nothing would get her settled down. At about 2:30, I had reached my screaming limit. I took her on a drive, for about an hour. We got back home and I got her into bed, and she slept for about a half hour. We got her up around 4, and she laid between us on the bed, and we thought for sure she would sleep. But no. She got up, and just wanted to play. So she played until about 7, when I finally got her to sleep. I thought she would sleep about 5 or 6 hours. Oh no. She was up at 9:30, wanting to play. So we played until 1:30, and she went down for a nap at slept until 4.
I have never had such a long night before. It was awful. I could not figure out what was wrong with her, and it was making everything worse. But she seems to be okay now, and slept so good last night. She only woke up once, and was back asleep in a few minutes.
It wasn't the perfect ending to my night, but that's okay. It's all apart of being a mommy.
