Escape from Planet Home.

I’m sitting here wondering what to write that doesn’t feel so whiny, and I just don’t have it. So I apologize.

Henry got up again in the middle of the night last night, after nearly a week of no wake-ups. We thought we had it, we started giving him his allergy meds regularly and thought maybe it was just his sinuses that were waking him up and now that we had that down, we’d have a three year old that sleeps through the night (which he pretty much hasn’t done for four to six months). Thankfully, I guess, these days with the allergy meds it’s not a long wake up – he taps me on the shoulder, Daddy gets up and takes him back to bed and that is that. But nearly a week of no wake ups, and now again the wake ups.

Then this morning he crawled into bed with me at 5:29am, and I was awake anyhow because I fell asleep last night at 8:30 (!!!) and I told him to go potty, and he said he did have to. This happened three times, and then at 6:25am I hear yelling from the bedroom because he peed all over the floor, including several toys. Frustration. Just. Frustration.

I escaped to work. Oh! And Spencer has a dentist appointment today. So. Awesome.

But anyhow, here’s something I just found which really is kind of awesome: 

No boil-over disks





These are the ones I bought, through my son’s fundraiser, but there are several kinds on the internet. No boil-over disks. They are little ceramic disks that go in the bottom of the pot and prevent your pasta water from boiling over! I’ve used them a number of times over the last two weeks, and only once did my water boil over – when I put way too much in.
