Huuuuuuuuge thanks to my wonderful, amazing friend C- for not only being my on call Mommy Shrink but for also schlepping to the west side to drag my sorry ass out of the house.

And it was wonderful!

After a hellish Tuesday night and Wednesday, I had a fairly decent night last night. I got four whole hours of sleep in my own bed. I woke up, fed D- and put her back down to sleep for a bit longer. Then I got a shower, breakfast and caffeine. The latter was strongly recommended and I have to say, I'm glad I took the advice. I wasn't wired but actually felt more like myself than I have in a long time.

And then to the mall to get clothes for work. Which I did. For way freakin' cheap, too. Which is good because I'm tired of spending money on clothes that only fit me for a short amount of time. Oy.

But it was great being out and about. C- coached me on how to handle getting D- up and out on *my* timing, how to deal with infants and random Cleveland weather and how to handle clothes shopping with said infant. Let's just say another set of arms is a wonderful thing.

So...one step closer to sanity, I think. A good thing, too, so close to going back to work.

Let's just hope that D- not sleeping a lot of today (so much to look at!) doesn't mean that she'll sleep for a few hours now and then wake up at midnight and want to stay up...
