Today and the Last Two Nights

For two nights I had been struggling in putting our son to sleep. Just when I thought he's already sleeping I'll wake up and find him playing with something. It could be his book, a coin he found in my bag, his toy or my clip. I talked him about it yesterday when I got home and explained that what he'd done was not doing us any good. I thought we'd reached an agreement, it turned out he just opted to be quiet. Last night was harder. He wouldn't stop crying. And I was desperate. I was already sleepy to begin with, I'm suffering from a headache for lack of sleep and my body was in pain. I begged him to stop and I did everything to make him sleep. I cuddled him, sang a song, read a book, talked to him and a lot more things. It took a long while before he finally sleep. I was exhausted. 

This afternoon, he's going to a trick or treat party. Already I know he wouldn't be able to sleep after his lunch. I just hope that tonight will be a different story. I don't want a repeat. 

Tomorrow, I'm going to pick my parents from the airport. I am already predicting for their flight to be delayed as it's the story of our airport nowadays. I'll leave early from work. My boss had given me his permission. 

It's a slow day today. I keep on fidgeting. I have so much time in my hands I don't know what to do with it. I have taken a personality test, watched volleyball online, read a book, read another blog and played a game. But these things did not make up my entire day. I still have more time left. Tonight I am planning to take a walk with my son. This may result to less tantrum and a happy mood.
