Things I did before 9 this morning

Got up with Lily at 12:45, nursed her, put her back to bed. Got up with Lily at 4:00, nursed her, she wouldn't go back to bed, got Clint to rock her for half an hour (bless him), she still wouldn't sleep, nursed her, finally got her to sleep at 5:30. Got up with Lily at six to find that she had pooped. Changed her, rocked her, put her back to bed at 6:20. Gilbert came in at 6:21. Got him a drink. Got back in bed. Tolerated the face poking that was the result of not getting up. Changed Gilbert's foul diaper, got back in bed, more face poking, and a few (unfulfilled) requests for candy bars. Ashton came in around 7, cuddled a minute, and then played with Gilbert for 5 minutes. Gilbert got tired of waiting for me to get up, and took matters into his own hands by bursting into Lily's room and waking her up. Then he pooped again for good measure (that's three poopy diapers before 7:30 people!). Made muffins with the help of my boys (so helpful!!!), while Lily watched from her bumbo chair. Put some into Ashton's tiny muffin pan he got from his Grandparents for his birthday (they ate the tiny ones much better, I need to get a big muffin pan that has tiny holes). Killed a spider (nasty jumpy thing), and another got away (bigger, uglier, and not jumpy) Changed Lily's diaper (not poopy), and clothes, and earrings (the first time! Her six weeks of wearing the piercing ones was over today), tried to figure out if she wanted to eat or sleep. Cleaned up the "spider poison" the boys concocted (it consisted of baby formula and pepper, sounds poisonous to me!). Took the muffins out, gave some to the boys, stuffed a few (too many) into my mouth while I rocked Lily. Wish boys would understand that if they leave me alone for five minutes to rock her, she would actually go to sleep and I would be all theirs. Put Lily to bed, rocked her again five minutes later, and five minutes after that. She is finally sleeping, hopefully for at least 40 minutes. House is messy, I'm exhausted. Blah. At least the boys are playing outside.
