"Silly me!"

Sunday, July 19, 1992

     I can't believe how early Ez. woke up this morning—5:58. I only went & told her to go back to sleep & gave her her pacifiers & burp rag. She was quiet for about 30 minutes. I don't know if she went back to sleep or not but I did & it sure didn't feel like 30 minutes went by. This time I checked her diaper & it was messy.

     I knew she wouldn't go back to sleep but I tried it anyway. I'd set my alarm for 6:30, hoping I could take a shower before she woke up. Silly me! She was quiet for a little while so I reset my alarm for 6:45. I think it was about 6:32 when we finally got up. I went ahead & took a shower before we went down to eat. I don't know how but we got to church on time.

    She did a little better in church than last week. I did have to take her out once when she slipped & bumped the side of her head on the back of the pew. It wasn't really that bad. I put her in the nursery tonight. Joe & Angela Garcia were in there. She did fine. There was a fellowship after tonight's service. I didn't take anything. I fed Ez. before we went. I didn't take her walker. I sat her in a regular chair by me at one of the tables. She had a cookie—ch. chip.

     When we got home, when I opened the door, Chief was whining. I couldn't imagine what was wrong until I realized he was upstairs. I got onto him good and made him stay in his room awhile. Now that I think about it, he probably got scared if it stormed here. It was lightening in the distance on the way to church & was really dark out through church (though it didn't storm there then) and on the way home it looked like it had just rained all around here. I couldn't find anything he'd gotten into or chewed up.

     Oh, Ez. fell asleep on the way home this morning but woke up when I was taking her shoes off in the crib. So we went ahead & ate lunch. Then she slept a little over 2 hours. I watched TV for about an hour then tried to sleep. I might have actually slept for 30 minutes. I don't know how much longer she or I can go with as little sleep as we're getting.

     I was thinking about Ez's appt. at PNH Tues. & trying to figure out how I was going to manage w/o Guy. I decided to ask Gayle Harrison if she'd take us over there and she said she could & would. I'm so glad.

     Sue never did call back. She probably forgot. I was really wanting to talk to her.

     Four days to go.
