"I really do hate him having duty every four nights."

Saturday, April 11, 1992

     We went to Jodie Rowland's & Gary Ansbach's wedding today. It was nice, but very tiring. She'd invited Ez. too. No problem, except that later she asked Guy if he'd tape the wedding. Ez. did pretty good during the ceremony except for throwing her bottle down once. I'd taken 3 juice bottles & some triscuits & she drank all the juice–1 1/2 during the wedding & the rest at the reception. She ate 2-3 crackers and some cheese they had at the reception. Guy was still taping except for taking a few minutes to eat. I tried to get Ez. to go to sleep when she started getting tired but there was too much going on. The worst part was when we were standing outside waiting for them to leave. My arm was dead by the time it was all over. She fell asleep for maybe 2 min. just before Guy was able to take her. She stayed awake all the way home but she & I both took a nap.

     I slept til nearly 6:00 & she slept til about 6:20. It's 10:00 now & she's fighting going to sleep.

     It's been so hot the past few days–high 70s-low 80s. I finally talked Guy into turning the air conditioner on last night. There's a nice breeze but I didn't want to open the windows cause there's tons of pollen in the air.

     I skipped my naps yesterday & worked on her dress while she was asleep. It's almost done. Needs hemming, buttons, the bow, & elastic in the sleeves. If I can finish hers tomorrow I can get started on mine Mon. Guy has duty tomorrow though so I'll probably be too tired to work on it. I really do hate him having duty every four nights.

     I don't think I mentioned that they're supposed to be gone during August. They're towing a submarine down to & through the Panama Canal. Another ship is meeting them & towing it to somewhere on the west coast. I forget where he said.

     I don't think I mentioned that Ez. started creeping Wed. That's when they kind of scoot along on their stomach, pushing with their legs/feet & pulling with their elbows. Dr. Karp should be please at her 12 mo. checkup Friday about that and that she's pulling up to her knees. She might even make more progress by then.
