Sleep 2.0

July 17, 2010

Last night, after 20 months of marriage, we switched sides in bed.  The idea originated because I didn't want to sleep next to the open window anymore.  After one night, I am hooked!  I slept so well last night. Turns out, I like the other side of the bed.

Greta also has a new way of sleeping....

And it must be working for her, too, because she slept until 9 am this morning.  She needed lots of rest.  She has had a very rough week of hardly any sleep at all due to a cold and cough and right ear infection.  She's been teary-eyed and cranky all week.  It has been hard on all of us.  Coming home from our trip, we weren't feeling well, and by the end of this week, I am completely drained.  I hated that she wasn't feeling well and I wish she could understand that rest would feel the best.  Unfortunately, sleeping on your back adds a lot of pressure to your ears.  She would scream when she laid in her crib because her ear was hurting so bad.  After awhile, she learned to keep this position pictured above.  Now, after a couple days of antibiotics and ibuprofen, she seems to be doing a little better...with one very nasty side effect:

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]
