come*up*pance

be careful what you say.

because if you say, on your way home from YYZ, from your glorious week trip away in paradise, “my gosh, i am so bummed that Isabella’s sleeping right now. I wish she were awake so i could squeeze that little froggie*”

(*Isabella has decided she is a frog. even down to wanting to wear her ONE green shirt every. single. day. who allows these children to use their imaginations anyway?)

karma steps in.

and you will get your wish. because since coming home on sunday night, Isabella has been awake. for two days straight.

“neener, neener…i’m never going to bed…”

and she’s playing this lovely little game of screaming bloody murder for several hours straight, Regan MacNeil style…

until she barfs. and then falls asleep. and then an hour later, we get to lather, rinse, repeat.

how can a child this freakin’ cute be such a demon at night??

but…please don’t feel bad for me.

because three days ago i was here.

and it was definitely worth it.

(come back tomorrow where i will tell you that even though St. Lucia is the most beautiful place i’ve ever been, and i had the best vacation ever, and i gained three pounds eating and drinking my way through the resort, i will NOT be recommending the Sandals Regency La Toc to my friends or readers.

a…cha…got your interest piqued now, don’t i??

for now, though, coffee. i need coffee.)

That is BRUTAL! You know I’m up all night — so I feel for you. But, mine’s 5 months…! That is BRUTAL!

Oh, Lan and I can relate.
Between 2:30 and 5, I think we walked Kay back to her room 21 times. I am getting some good exercise in my sleep. Somewhere around that time we let Jade scream for a good 1/2 hour until we gave up and brought her to our bed at 5. Up at 6. Patients beware!

She’s just trying to make sure you never go away without her again.

Is it working?

Carter’s going through a phase where he will not go to bed at night. I keep wondering why the hell my kid is nearly three and still CIO most nights.

I feel your pain Ali, I really do. Though, there’s no barfing here - yet.

I actually just wrote about telling my daughter the stories about when she was younger and would refuse to sleep and subsequently cry herself into vomiting last week.

Not fun times. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Is it ok to hate you? Just a little? I mean you so deserve this. Taking a gorgeous vacation and actually having a good time?? Its karma.

Oh and yes, please tell about the resort. I’ve been considering Sandals resorts and I’ll be sad if its really that bad.

I want to be sitting on a beach right now, drinking a steaming cup of coffee.

(Looks around. Sees beige cube walls and a cup of highly disappointing tea.)

I’m going to post this comment and go stare at that picture again.

Fuck. I’ve so been there. I wish I could appear at your place of work with a humungous cup of coffee. But that would be sort of weird, and a massive drive.

[ 11 Mar 08 ]

Oh no! We went to that Sandals and also the Sandals Montego Bay for our honeymoon and loved them both!

[ 11 Mar 08 ]

About 4 years ago we took a Windjammer cruise which launced from Grenada - we saw St. Lucia from a distance - all of those islands are gorgeous! Did you take any day trips, Mustique, Bequia, etc? Windjammer was SO FUN, I highly recommend it!

We’ve been sitting on a chair in Sierra’s room and telling her to “close your eyes and go to sleep” just to avoid the whole crying ’til she pukes thing. We’re down to sitting for 5 min.

uh-oh…can’t wait to hear about the resort!

I feel for you and your sleepless nights! I didn’t have awake and screaming but my daughter who’s 8 (not trying to scare you..but..) keeps going through spurts where she wakes up several, sev.er.al. times a night from bad dreams. She always goes back to sleep fairly quickly but I’m not sure which is worse..up for long periods of time or interrupted sleep…all night…OY!!! Ok, I think you win!

[...] sign out of chip board. I was pretty proud of my bad self. Since then, I have seen what Ali has for Isabella, and have seen the work of Chelsea in her etsy shop. Should I get a bigger set of letters [...]

[...] because, apparently, humpty dumpty lives in there. Remember when we came back from St. Lucia and she wouldn’t sleep? and i was convinced she was punishing me? Well, it turns out that i’m a way worse mother [...]
