It Only Hurts When I Blog

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Snots and Bacon. Yuck. Does the grilling take away the slime? Sorry Mamma, just can't get into the oyster thing. =)

So Mike is already on his was as of 1am. I'm getting ready to take Jen to school then I have a dr's appt to check out my shoulder, which has been giving me big trouble for a few months now. Had Xrays yesterday...

THEN, I'll bring Jen to her friends house to babysit for the night and I'll be on my own...just baby n' me.
 

Hey, Heather, I thought YOU were going to "cry it out," till I thought for a moment!(yesterday's blog)

I must have told you about training Will and Charles to sleep though the night: Will was about 18 mos, Charles was 5 mos. They BOTH were still waking in the night, Will for a bottle, Charles for me.
I gave Charles his last feeding at about 11pm, then went to bed. I vowed I would not get up before 5am, that was reasonable.
It was 3 nights of Bedlam. The weeping, the wailing. After that, EVERYBODY slept through the night.
One book said, the baby needs to learn there is nothing to get up for. I had to accoplish this prior to the windows being open, so it was March '85. Poor Christopher had to share the room!

Nancy, I think it must be that book, because I remember the pictures being old fashioned. These types of cautionary tales, as horrific as they are, can teach a kid to be smart! The OLD oyster stayed right where he was. It was the young ones that marched right along.
 

Karen, Oysters and po-boys--I'm looking forward to Maryland Crabmeat Soup at Opryland Hotel, ymmm! Let us know how your shoulder is doing, Heather. I never had any success getting my first born to sleep through the night, probably because I gave in and got up to get her a little more milk for her bottle. (Now we know she is lactose intolerant--too late.) With my next 3 children, I was careful not to get into that habit with them as I would have been too exhausted to do so! Good luck, Heather! Have a good weekend everyone!
 

Cajun Steamer was great - met and exceeded my expectations. The Oysters Rockefeller were amazing. The Hurricane was good too - you could really taste the rum :). I'm looking forward to going back sometime.
 

Karen, that is what the Tomales Bay oysters taste like as they are barbecued.
I was a mean mom (who had to go to work in the morning) who after a few months let the baby cry. After a few nights, they do stop crying. I like that, when they know there is nothing to wake up for! Can't imagine what it is like to have more than one crying!
 

Late post, but Savi DID finally fall asleep. She (and I) cried for 1 1/2 hours, then she folded herself over in her crib and passed out. Hope she doesn't wake up a million times! This crying stuff STINKS!!! =(
