Oh how the rain makes me tired!

We had some fun today.  Makena's cousins came over for a couple of hours while 1 of them had an eye doctor appointment and she loved it!  We went to the park, played in the backyard, and played with toys.  It was nice having someone else entertain her for a bit.  I did forget how a 6 year old has questions for everything, and usually the same question over and over and over because they aren't listening.  It was truly a test of my patience.  DownFALL of the day, I fell down the stairs while holding Makena.  I was able to stay upright and safe ALMOST the whole way.  I ended up turing to the side and letting Makena go so she would be safer than if she fell forward, which was about to happen.  She did hit her head on the wall, but I figure that's better than the bottom of the stairwell with me on top of her.  My big toe got bent a little funny, but otherwise we're both fine and dandy and you'd never know anything happened!

So, to the rain.  Once it started raining it was like a switch went off in my head and I wanted to sleep.  It was terrible!  Makena was napping so I figured I should too.  I must not have really needed a nap since I only slept for 15 minutes, but laying on the couch being a bum felt pretty good.  I'm back in a sitting position now, so that's a start to the whole getting back and at 'em process.  haha  I'm going to blame Makena's growth spurt (long naps and good eating) on my laziness today.

In two more days we will be going up to Princeton for the day for a birthday party, I'm sure Makena will have a blast.  The only thing I'm not so sure of is how well she'll sleep.  She gets so wound up there that she stays awake until we get in the car.  We usually have to leave early just so she goes to sleep.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Saturday brings.  It will be nice to have something to do while Jared is studying.  I always dread lounging around the house when I know he's here working his butt off.  I feel like I should be doing something too, I guess I AM watching the baby, right?  Anyway, I'm starting to ramble, I'm off to do something with my afternoon.  If the rain stays away I foresee a bike ride in our future (if Makena ever wakes up)!
