Something miraculous happened last night. I went to bed at 10pm and didn't wake up until after 6:30am when Eli woke up hungry. As if that weren't amazing enough, he went back to sleep for a good hour and a half after that.
I can't tell you how wonderful this was.
Eli hasn't always been a terrible sleeper. There were a couple months where he would at least give us a solid 5-6 hours straight, but lately he's been waking up more often than I really care to discuss. It's been lousy. I've been exhausted. My house has been suffering. And I've been feeling grouchy and overwhelmed.
Until this morning.
When I woke up this morning, birds and angels started singing when I realized it wasn't some unholy hour like usualy. I felt like a brand new woman! For the first time in a long time I woke up feeling motivated and ready to go. And this is what I did with all that energy:
- Got dressed and ready for the day before Eli woke up
- Ate breakfast
- Did a load of dishes
- Went to Home Depot for supplies for my Etsy shop, which has been keeping me very busy lately... yay!
- Put Eli down for a nap
- Sanded and prepped Etsy signs
- Replied to emails and messages
- Threw together a terrible lunch since I lost track of time... but hey, we ate something! Even though it may or may not have been leftover mashed potatoes, some frozen waffles, and blackberries. (Note: must go grocery shopping tomorrow.)
- Mailed off most of our Christmas cards
- Mailed off Etsy packages
- Put Eli down for another nap
- Stained a bunch of signs
- Baked up some of the peanut butter kiss cookie dough that was left over from last night... YUM
- Ate too many cookies and watched some episodes of The Mindy Project
- Did not make dinner (see above) (hashtag: #noregrets)
- Cleaned the almost all the carpets upstairs
- Wrote this blog post
