The witching hours

So the last two nights Piper has been, well shall we say, different:) She eats and then dozes for about 10 min and then wakes up in a tirade. Then she is comforted sleeps for ten minutes more and then into another tirade. This goes on for quite some time. It is amazing how they can be sound asleep and know the minute that you lay them down! In Piper’s case she is kind enough to let me get back into bed before she lets it rip. HA!

I talked to a friend this morning and she told me that those are called the witching hours. When nothing seems to placate them. In my case Piper is placated by me which is a blessing and a curse at the same time. We managed to squeeze a few zzzzz’s into the night and she is resting peacefully today. So all is not lost, except for my beauty sleep and lord knows I need it.

This morning I chatted with Jason and sent him on his way. Then I went to the bathroom to clean myself up and I almost screamed at my reflection it was so frightful. I actually looked like a little girl that had gotten into her mothers hair clips. Apparently yesterday as a piece of hair would fall down I would grab another clip and pin it back up. So by this morning I had countless pieces of hair sticking up all over out of numerous clips. What a kind man my husband is to kiss me and wish me a good day when I looked like the witch from the witching hour! HA and LOL!
