Some days can still surprise me.

Allie had a fussy time yesterday evening which threw her schedule off and she didn’t sit at the dinner table with us for once as I put her in her room for a nap, and I slept in her room in the La-Z-Boy recliner after she went down for the night. She did okay once she went to sleep for the night; the feeding lasted from 9:15p to 3:30a. I thought today was going to be rough because I still couldn’t get her schedule right; she only fed on one side at 3:30a, then on the other side at 6:30a. I couldn’t get her to do a full feeding as she wouldn’t stay awake after each side. That threw her morning off, too, as she was hungry again by 8am. After that, she again went to sleep during the feeding so I couldn’t do the eat-play-sleep routine each segment to sleep-train her; after she woke from the short feeding nap she fussed for an hour as I tried to put her down, and she may have slept half an hour max and fussed the rest of the time until her 11:30a feeding. After her 11:30am feeding, she was up, but I had to run errands.

We went right away to Discount Tires so I could find out whether the constant “low air pressure” warning in my car was due to actual low tire pressure, or a leak in a tire. Turned out it was generally just low and the guy didn’t think there was a problem, but encouraged me to get a pressure check every other month with them (free). The PSI was supposed to be at least 28; all tires were around 24, setting off the sensor. He said he refilled them to 35 PSI.

Since Target was right next to Discount Tires and Allie had knocked out in the car (again ruining the eat-play-sleep routine), I went and got batteries for the central heater. It was freezing this morning and the heat wouldn’t come on. I made an appointment for some guys to come out and look at it on Thursday morning, but replacing the batteries worked so I called and canceled the visit. Allie slept through it all; I even managed to cut her nails while she was asleep in the car carrier (now in the house). And I started blogging.

But…as she’s now up and crying, I’ll have to tend to her, again on a messed up eat-play-sleep schedule. Whomever came up with that must not have had any infants.
