Ever since my Mom left yesterday morning Gabriel has not been happy. He's been uber-fussy and throwing fits for no apparent reasons. *le sigh* Now that my Mom is back in Illinois it's back to the daily baby grind for me. I'm sorely tempted on Mother's Day to do nothing but sleep.

Speaking of which, I got almost no sleep last night. We weren't able to get Gabriel to settle down in his bed for the night until after midnight and once I was in bed insomnia hit me. This morning I was up before Rob left for work. Not because I wanted to be, but because Gabriel decided to throw his fit early this morning. After Rob fed him Gabriel threw up in his bassinet. After giving him more food and cleaning up the bassinet I was up and Rob was late to work. I cuddled Gabriel for a little bit and watched The Pest on TV while trying to calm him down. After a bottle he started dozing off so I put him in his bassinet. A few minutes later he had a giant poopy which woke him up. Right now I'm trying to calm him down in his swing. I know I won't be able to nap at all today, but at the very least I'd like him to chill out for a bit so I can get some things done on the computer and maybe even take a shower.

I have to wonder if he's already beginning to teethe. I felt his gums and it didn't feel like he was cutting teeth, but with his screaming and drooling it would seem like he might be. Recently he has a habit of drooling all over the place. The neck of his outfit is usually wet from all of his drool. If he's not cutting teeth, then he's one drooly baby and I'd hate to see the drool that comes out of him when he does teethe.

Good lord it's hot in here. I have the air conditioning on full blast and it's doing nothing. On these hot days the air cannot handle the heat coming into the apartment. That combined with my hot flashes pretty much makes it feel like the temperature of Hell to me. If the air is having problems handling the heat now, I fear to think of how bad it will be in here when summer kicks in full swing and it's over 100 most days. Ugh, I wanna move. Now.

Only 5 hours and 43 minutes until Rob leaves work and heads home. Which means it's about 6 hours and 43 minutes until he's home. And there's about 11 hours and 12 minutes until I can go to bed. I'm counting down!
