It’s past my bed time. What’s new? I’ve gotten to bed on time and gotten enough sleep for two nights in a row. I guess that’s the best I can do right now. I know what’s eating at me right now and I just need to work on letting it go. No, I am not going to blog about it. It will be fine. It’s nothing mysterious or life-threatening and it’s not about The Tater Tot. Just a situation that provides an opportunity for me to practice choosing to be at peace. Something that is hard for me to do sometimes because I am always striving. Always working to make things better. Looking to help/fix whatever is wrong. But this is something I need to let fix itself. And I know it will. Cryptic enough for ya’? Sorry.

The Tater Tot and I had a good day today. Weird, but good. She napped from 9:15 to 11:15 which is highly unusual. Of course I was supposed to go have lunch at 11:30 with the Mommies Group so you know that’s why she napped weird. It always happens that way. Instead we had lunch here and then went to the Farmer’s Market. I was underwhelmed and disappointed by their selection and prices. I was looking forward to good, fresh, reasonably priced produce. But the market was small with few vendors and I just wasn’t impressed by what I saw. So I bought Tater Tot a mini-bouquet of flowers for her room and we went to play in the sand at the beach instead. She loooooves the sand at the beach. She likes to just run her hands through it over and over and over and play “Where’s Mommy’s Hand?” And she likes to walk toward the water. I think she’d walk right into it if I didn’t stop her! She tried to lick it off of her hands this time. She hasn’t done that before. We crawled, walked and slithered through the sand for a little while before heading home to get in the bath. Sand everywhere. Big ol’ handfuls of it falling out of all kinds of places it shouldn’t oughta be. But that’s to be expected. It’s the beach, after all. I love that she loves the beach. It’s my favorite place in the world. I’m gonna get one of these for the summer because I plan to spend a TON of time at the beach with her. So we splashed around in the bath tub and got all the sand off before snack time.

Of course she skipped her afternoon nap again but she didn’t have as much trouble getting to sleep tonight, which is nice. It’s getting easier to go with the flow with her and not worry so much about her sleep. We’ll figure it out sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

Now I’m off to bed. But first, a little meditation so that I can sleep…maybe a Downward Facing Dog or two. Or three.
