I've had a frustrating day.

It started early this morning, at around 2ish am.  I was having a dream about something crazy (pregnancy hormones have had control over this part of my night for a few months now) when Tyler's on call phone started ringing.  It was so loud, probably only because it came blaring out of complete peace and silence.  It's been so long since he's had to go in in the middle of the night and I feel bad for him.  So, he got up and headed over to the hospital.  I went back to sleep (or did I even wake up fully?) and soon Tyler was climbing back into bed at around 3 in the morning.  I feel bad for him because he said he didn't get back to sleep until after 4.  I also felt bad for him because he had to get up at 6:45 and actually do important stuff today.  It's not a huge deal if I have a bad sleep because I don't deal with what he does.

So, he slowly got out of bed at the sound of his alarm and headed into the shower.  Kitten was running around and came busting through our door, scratched on our bed for a few seconds and tore off again, all the while meowing up a storm.  She usually gets super excited and talkative when she knows her cone is coming off soon and Tyler helps her out with that while he eats breakfast.

I would have loved to get back to sleep but it didn't happen for me this morning.  We heard there was a new guest in the apartment above us and we were excited because we thought that maybe this one wouldn't have lead feet.  Boy were we wrong!  This one seems worse.  Even though he doesn't have an alarm that also wakes us up, this guy wakes up extra early (even though his work day doesn't start till 8:30am) and stomps around the place, making sure to slam doors and drawers and drop what sounds like 20 pound weights right above our room.  So, I wasn't able to get back to sleep either and I came out of the room already frustrated.  We don't understand how someone can be that loud and also not understand that maybe the people below him wont appreciate his heavy feet.  I really don't expect him to be quiet during the day, but I don't understand why anyone has to be that loud right in the morning.  Not a great way to start the day.

I kissed Tyler and he went off to work.  I spent my morning eating breakfast, going on the computer, doing the very few dishes we had and feeding TK.  I don't remember if this was mentioned but I found out that our neighbor actually lets these cats into her apartment.  That's all fine for her, but then they come over here and expect the same treatment.  I wish I could let them in but I have my own cat to consider.  They have tried a few times now to just walk on in.  It always breaks my heart to have to shoo them back outside, especially because the weather has been so gloomy.

Tyler came back for lunch and then left what seemed like right away.  Lunch hours go by so quickly.  We had a chat and ate some food and talked about some irritating things that are going on with his work.  He left for work and I was left alone to think about these things.  I'm not going to mention them on here until we fully understand what is going on but I was left to think and almost fume about them.  I was just annoyed about many things that were happening today and this was one more cherry on top.  I had to find a way to let off some steam.  I would go for a walk but it was raining and windy.  I was stuck inside, trying to figure out what to do with my time.  I ended up reading our blog from the very beginning.  I read it out loud so baby could hear.  As I was reading, Baby J was just jumping around and moving so so much.  He even moved right up front and gave my belly a very funny look.  It was all lopsided and hard.  I love this kid!

Tyler texted me and said he was going to be late coming home.  He is supposed to come home a little after 4 this week but since he's the only one working, he had to stay until 5ish.  We started on dinner, which was just noodles and pasta sauce, and we sat down and ate, while talking more about the days events.

We were done fairly quickly and getting ready for our Monday night tradition of watching Dexter.  As soon as we sat down, his phone started ringing again.  He went off to work and I started working on my latest cross stitching project.  He wasn't gone too long and soon enough, we were watching our show.  It's getting crazy!

We found out that The Grinch and Shrek the Halls is on tonight.  Even though we have seen those shows every year for our whole lives, we still wanted to make sure we watched it.  I figured that if we watch it this once, it will constantly be on tv and we wont be able to get away from it.  But if we missed it tonight, we wouldn't see it all season.  That's how it always goes.

So, it's the Grinch and then Skrek the Halls and then probably nothing after that.  Tyler would go to bed early but he has to go back into work at 10.  I'll work on my cross stitch until then.

Baby J is still moving a ton.  Maybe it's the orange I just had.  I love it though.  I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday and I'm so excited to hear the little heartbeat again.
