At 4:30 this morning I wake up to "Mommy, help me!" She crawled into bed with us and either needed me to cuddle her (I was facing the opposite direction) or needed the covers. I think we managed to cuddle for about five minutes before she decided she needed to get up and get some milk. Needless to say, we've been up since then, and it's not been much fun. She keeps switching back and forth between sweet as pie and demon child. Thankfully, the demon side is kept to a minimum this morning.

In other news...

I actually managed to look up the seats for the game yesterday. They're pretty decent seats as far as I can tell. The price I mentioned yesterday was a group rates. The tickets themselves are worth about $200 or more, it would seem. For you baseball buffs out there, the tickets are in section 14, row 24. That is the day my parents are supposed to come into town, so I think what I'm going to do is send B and my father to the game and ask the neighbor and his son if they would like to go along.

B and I went to dinner last night without The Kritter. We went to Texas Land and Cattle. I ordered a mojito, but the waiter informed me the mojitos they served are not the best mojitos since they use a mix. I decided to go for a pina colada instead (lucky me, it was cheaper than the mojito) and I am so glad I did. It was really the best pina colada I've ever had. Dinner for me was a ribeye (medium rare, of course), a baked sweet potato (with some sort of killer sweet cinnamon butter), and a salad. I didn't finish the steak or the potato, so that might be lunch today. We split a dessert that was somewhat similar to a chess pie (that's what it makes me think of, but it's not the same) and a coffee as well. It was nice to have a night out without Sophie and she seemed to have a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa, so it was good all around.

I'm behind on recent comments because I've been trying to take care of ancient comments first. I am trying to catch up. I'll get there eventually. I'm also going to try to find time to set up a couple of mood themes I found that I really like as well as play around with user icons and update my profile. Yeah, right.

If anyone has ideas of where I can find clip art or other images for Minnow Minnow Pea, or if there's anyone willing to be commissioned or who knows anyone who might want to be commissioned, please let me know. I should see if Katie at [info]gronkfanclub would be interested. She was going to create some icons for me once upon a time but things got crazy for both of us...

I remember the days of Hannah coming into bed in the middle of the night. We taught Hannah very early on that morning doesn't start until 7am. So if she was awake before that she had to wait until 7 to get up. It took it's time but it did work.

Reading about your Pina Colada, has sent me down memory lane. I used to be Assistant Restaurant Manager at a hotel that served loads of cocktails to arriving guest. It was always me that had to jump in and help the barman when he got too busy. I loved making the Pina Coladas

I normally don't care for pina coladas, but it really sounded good that night. I'm glad I went with it because it was just excellent. :D

Yeah, sometimes it's even earlier. She loves to drag me out of bed.

That's another reason why I'm not having children. Being woken up at ungodly hours...

My parents did with me the same thing that Dave has done with Hannah. It seemed to work, after a fashion!

I have been telling her that it's okay to get up when the sun does and as far as I can tell it's been working. Then again, I've been in a meds-induced stupor in the mornings so it's possible she's coming in earlier and it's just not registering with me.
