ummm, forgive my ignorance...but what is the "chat" room and how does it work? I entered it this morning...but didn't know what to do. i feel really dumb :cry:
forgot to mention my father called yesterday to invite us to lunch on Sunday at 3:30. I explained that I would try but with Coles sleeping it would be unlikely. First, this lunch is for my brother who has been a complete %^$#&** to our family for most of his life. He asks my parents for $ and when he doesn't get it he doesn't speak to them for months on end. I guess my dad is trying to patch things up with him by having a lunch so we can all meet his girlfriend. Second, it's at a pub. Third, Cole goes to bed at 6 and it's an hour away! I'd get to spend an hour there. I tried to explain this to my dad and my dad said "take the train, he could sleep on the train he'd like the motion". He then said I wouldn't have to worry about driving and could have a few drinks. Sure dad, I'll get loaded then feed Cole for bedtime :!: I really thought my parents "got" it when they were here on Sunday because they had no problem with me putting Cole down while they visited. My dad is old school, very proud that he never changed a diaper, never did any cleaning etc...so I can see why he doesn't understand.
THEN my dad calls back because my mom was upset with him, he forgot to tell me something. Ladies, my father had an angiogram and has to have triple by-pass. :cry: :cry: :cry: That's bad, right? My father is still recovering from Whipple (cancer) surgery he had 2 years ago October. he was in hospital 6 months and has never really regained his strength. He went in at 245lbs and is now about 165 dripping wet. I know it's terrible to be mad at him in his condition...but he's also an alcoholic. When he came out of hospital the doctor said one drink a day. Why he would even allow that is beyond me. Anyway, my parents who hadn't drank for the 6 months started drinking again. It's makes me sad and angry and all sorts of other emotions I can't put into words. It's like he thinks he's invincible. I really don't think he can make it through this surgery :cry: well, i'm going to try not to dwell on this until we know when he's going in. it's still in discussion.
I think Cole is done with the spurt already. I fed him at 10pm and 2am. However I heard him on and off from 2:30-3:15 then he cried and I had to help him settle until 4! I finally let him cry a bit longer because every time I went in and put my hand on him he giggled and reached back for my hand and continued his crawling moves. I think he just wanted an audience! finally asleep at 4:00 and then I was wide awake as we had some high winds. Remembered I left the patio umbrella up and went outside to close it! I finally drifted off, not sure when and Cole slept until 6:45! Yay for Cole. Of course, he's only just woken from a 40 min. nap but that's okay because I've learned to just role with the punches. He usually has a longer 2nd and catnap anyway.
okay, gotta go, he's fussing a bit...maybe the spurt isn't over afterall
