Today, being my only day off this week that is not a recovery day from a night shift or a day off in between a night shift and a day shift (affectionately known as the "fake day off"), was the day reserved for Zane and Luna to visit their pediatrician. My day-care provider was back in full-swing after her week off for her vacation, so I ditched Nora for the day.
How does one little girl make everything so hectic? Hanging with Zane and Luna was fine. Relaxing, even. Sure I had to make Z lunch, had to feed LunaTuna her lunch and comfort her a little following her immunizations, but it was fine. Nothing like the madness that ensued as soon as Nora walked through the door.
The screeching and cackling. The running and tormenting of others. I found myself yelling at Zane, too, for the first time today. He was totally feeding into the madness. She would lay across him on the couch, he would respond with "NOOOOR-a." She stole the blanket away from him on several occasions.
Now they are both in bed. LunaTuna too, but I don't know how long she will sleep. Going to the doctor is apparently a big day when you are 5 months old. And it wiped her out. I kinda hope she stays asleep so I can soak in the tub upstairs and shave my legs without having to listen to her crab or complain. I would like her to stay asleep, but only if it lasts til morning. I kinda doubt it will. I forsee getting up at 3, but I will take my chances, I guess.
