Everyone LOVES a sleeping monkey. There’s nothing sweeter, quieter or more peaceful. Best of all, monkeys DON’T EAT when they’re sleeping.
Don’t EAT when they’re sleeping? Huh? So? That’s right. That cheaty little rascal has been sucking the life out of meboooobies today. He’s been going for, like, hours, and with, like, one hour of non-eating or fussing in between. I know, I know. Growth spurt. But, DUDE, I’m exhausted. And, I’m boiling hot right now…. But, he’s sleeping. Which means I can write something. Something probably illegible.
Don’t EAT when they’re sleeping? That’s right. I finally got a break from feeding that ravenous little rascal to make dinner for his cheaty little sister.

Ahhh, eggs. One forgets how GOSHDARNDIT EASY they are to make — perfect dinner. Bought pre-diced veggies. Dumped them into pan with spray canola oil. Poured liquid egg from fancy omega-3 brand over the veggies. Cooked. Placed slices of cheese over top and broiled. Yum. Baked sweet potato fries on the side….
Come on in, and see what happened when I went to put food on the table. But, first, watch your step on the way to the kitchen….

Okay, now, check it. Absolutely no interest in slaved-on dinner…because sleeping….

Needless to say, when I coaxed her awake, she wanted NOTHING to do with food. Except yogurt, which she ate with much success. Until I decided to taste it and noticed it was BAD! Like sour, stinking BAD! Ugh. She’s fine. Still in a deep sleep.
Also sleeping deeply beside me…. The-boy-who-won’t-stop-eating. Unless, of course, he’s sleeping….

Closeup the first….

Closeup the second….

So, do I sound tired? It’s ridiculous how tired am. Josh-O’s coming home any minute now from a 4-day vacay in Vegas. I say “vacay,” but it was really for work. ‘Cept whenever I called or he called he was on his way to, or already at, a poker game. If he complains that he’s tired EVEN once, I’m posting a nudie pic of him! Consider yourself WARNED, JOSH-O!
Oh, but look! He just got home and gave me THIS:

Clothes can definitely buy love….
And, yes, the rascal is now awake.
TO FEED!
LOVE…. xo Haley-O

K, the sleeping Rascal close-up is way too cute! Look at his precious little mouth. I just want to kiss it.
Enjoy your evening with the hubby and hope you get to sleep soon.

Awwww, is there anything more precious than a sleeping babe?
Lesley said, January 25th, 2008 at 1:49 am
I heart “staying at home” pressies when Aaron’s on business trips.
It doesn’t make up for the lack of sleep or never ending cleaning up but it’s still exciting to see what he brought me

Four days? No wonder you’ve been so tired. Now it’s time for you to sleep in and Josh-O to watch them.
(btw: from the possibly-TMI files… have you considered pumping so you can get a break from feeding?)

I don’t think I have any nudie pictures of my husband… hm.
I well remember the days of non-stop nursing. I hope you get some rest this weekend!
And our little girls have THE SAME HAIRDO! Ah, the detangling tips we could share.

SciFi Dad might be on to something…my BFF little guy was born right after The Rascal and after nursing both her other children for nearly 18 months each without one bottle – this new little guy occasionally gets a bottle because he eats a lot. He gets formula about once a day to top him up since he eats a lot in the evening. It works well so far.
Rosebud & Papoosie Girl’s last blog post..Much better, thanks for asking

I remember growth spurts. I hated growth spurts. There’s only so much you can take.
But, at least they are fairly short.
I love the cat and baby sleeping on the same bed. It’s so sweet.

How is it even fair that everyone in your house is sleeping except you? I love the pics of the monkey sleeping everywhere! I would love to be able to sleep like that. Why is it that Mommies just don’t get to sleep?
And don’t you just LOVE ‘business trips’? Yes, they are my fav *sigh* Mommies need business trips too don’t they? Yes, a weekend at a spa or shopping or something. There has to be some way to expense that!!

Way to go Josh-O!! Great pictures of the sleeping babes, so sweet! I don’t know how you do it, 4 days is a long time.
How much does the Rascal weigh?
Have a great weekend!
kelly said, January 26th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Is it wrong that I’m hoping for the nuddie pics?
And if your darling kids don’t want to eat, could you pack that yummyness up and send it to me? I hate cooking.

Those babes are OUT. Remarkable! Also, me loves breakfast for dinner, especially those eggs you made wrapped up into a burrito. Yum yum and yum.
Leanne said, January 26th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Lovely pics. Enjoy them they won’t stay that way for long!
Honest.
I know, you don’t want them to, I remember, but really it will all end and YOU WILL MISS it. They become TEENS. Shake with horror, yes!
My love can be bought for A & F. too.
Hmmm. My hubby tells me he WORKS when he’s in Veags too. But I think that if he’s in a nicer place then me, THEN IT’S NOT WORK, it’s a vacation! Boy, I need to go to bed….way too much UPPER CASE in this comment. Way too long too.
I’ll drop by again when I’m more sane.
