Let me just say that it's been really hard transitioning back to our every-day life ever since we got back from Vancouver. When we landed on Saturday all of us were exhausted since we were up since 4am that morning. The flight was also very stressful as you were extremely cranky from getting hardly any sleep. You threw quite the temper tantrum right after we took off. There was hardly any room in the tiny plane for me to walk around comfortably. I was standing while holding you near the flight attendant's area in the back while you were screaming/crying. Eventually you dozed off, but it wasn't without letting the whole passengers in the plane know who the crazy baby's mom was. Ugh. I don't ever want to have to go through that again. It didn't help that daddy gave me attitude when you started spitting out your food. I guess you had too many snacks and your stomach wasn't taking it too well. I was only giving you stuff to munch on because that was the only way to keep you still and quiet in the plane. I really hate it when daddy criticizes me for things when he isn't helping in the situation.
I'm just glad to be back, but I feel like I didn't really have a vacation. I worked while I was over there and I was checking email every single day. I seriously need time to myself for one day. Wouldn't that be nice?
So even though it is now Tuesday I'm still exhausted. On Sunday I had to plant the flowers that your Vancouver grandfather gave to us to plant in our garden. That took me 4 hours. Then I had to go grocery shopping because we had absolutely nothing in our fridge. All to find out that all the big chain supermarkets were closed for Easter Sunday. I went to 2 different places before I decided to go to a Korean supermarket. They are never closed! Not even on Christmas!
Then on Monday I came home to find our fridge was broken. Basically we had to throw out all the stuff in the freezer because it had all melted. I was so mad! Daddy had to call a 24 hour refrigerator repair man to come and fix it. It cost us $200 and I didn't go to sleep until close to 1am.
I'm just hoping that things will calm down soon. It doesn't help that your sleep schedule is all messed up. You slept close to 12am on Sunday and yesterday you slept almost at 10pm. Today was a little earlier at 9:45pm, but it wasn't without problems. All three days you wouldn't sleep and kept calling out 'Daddy, appah, umma' so that we wouldn't leave you. Today when I tried putting you down you started freaking out and crying uncontrollably. I had to lay you down a few times because you kept standing up in your crib. I had to keep repeating, "Go to sleep!" and "Ddook!" ("Shush" in Korean). Eventually you fell asleep, but I'm so frustrated and annoyed.
