Yummy sleep

Owen went down last night at about 8:30, woke up around 1:30 or so (I think, maybe he didn't wake up at all), then didn't wake up again until about 6:10. I fed him in bed, and he went back to sleep until 9:40! Woo hoo for sleeping in!

Unfortunately, Steve was still sleeping when I got up with Owen. That means, yes, he's going into work late again. He didn't come to bed until 1:30am! I bitched him out when he came to bed. I should clarify that he will be working until 7:30, so he's still getting a full day of work in, but the point of last week and this week was for him to score some major overtime. Now that he's a supervisor, they can't make him work it though, and he's taking advantage of that, which I think is shitty. Plus, his hockey team owes $800 to the league, and he's going to be paying it himself, and hoping that he'll get some reimbursement from the team. That hit would be a lot easier to take if it had come out of his overtime check, but since he's not working as much overtime, there goes that.

In other news, I'm about 100 pages away from finishing the third book I picked up at the library. Three books in a week? I'm impressed with myself :). I finished the first book in two days, and the second book in about 3. I think I'm on the 3rd day of this book now. And here I was, stressing about whether or not I'd be able to finish 4 books in 3 weeks. The last one looks a little more serious than the other 3 I've read, and thicker too, so that'll probably take longer to finish.

so are you going to share what you've been reading? i'm always lokoing for ideas...

Sure! I finished Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophia Kinsella, How to Be Cool by Johanna Edwards, and right now, I'm almost done with Night Swimming by Robin Schwarz.

Yeah for good sleep!

Yay sleeping in! The boys do that with us now - we take them into bed for snuggles when they wake up and half the time they go back to sleep!

What books have you been reading? I'm halfway through two "serious" fiction novels and am working on a stack of magazines as tall as the babies. :)

I read:

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
How to Be Cool by Johanna Edwards
Night Swimming by Robin Schwarz

The one I have yet to read is The Last Boy by Robert Lieberman.

I love sleeping in!

Me too, it's my ultimate guilty pleasure!

Oh my gosh, you are a fast reader!! I haven't been able to finish a book in forever. Maybe I need to rethink my book choices...I tend to go for the heavy ones.

These were fun, light reads, so it was really easy to get through. I figured that if I went for the heavy stuff first, I'd never get through them, and I'd give up.

YAY for the sleep! I hope that Owen soon drops the night time wakings for you!

GRR to Steve!

YAY for the reading too! That is awesome!

They've been reduced to 2-3 per night, so it's a small improvement. I'll take what I can get :).

Yay for Owen sleeping and you getting to sleep in! Boo to Steve for sleeping in so late and being late getting to work. You've been doing quite a lot of reading! I only read for 10-20 minutes each night so it takes me several weeks to make it through a book.

[identity profile] stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I could only read for 10-20 minutes at a time. I get too engrossed in what I'm reading, and just want to keep going.
