Day 191...feeling cranky

Jul 30

I got up this morning feeling like a million bucks! I had gotten up and put Martyn back in the crib around 4:30, and I had turned Eli's clock off when I went to bed. So I slept in for the morning, and when Martyn woke up and started getting kicky and arm-flaily, I only had to listen to it, and not feel it. He woke up happy enough, and was content to just lay in the crib and kick to his hearts content, and chatter away....which was perfectly fine with me, because I got to sleep in until 6:45! Eli got up and changed Martyn, and brought him back to bed....which has kind of become the Saturday morning routine, and I like it very much. It was looking like it was going to be a beautiful morning, and we had made out a list of stuff we wanted to get at the Farmers market ahead of time.

It took us a little while to get moving, but once we did, we packed up and headed out to the Farmers Market. Usually we bring the stroller, but I wanted to try the baby carrier, and I would carry Martyn. The only problem was I forgot to grab his little sun hat, but it was early enough in the day that it wasn't a problem. I just stayed in the shade as much as I could, and a little bit of sun is good for him.

Man I was cranky by the time we got there though. Eli and I had had words about getting his truck fixed, and me riding my bike to work, and I was all worked up over that. For me, that spiralled into feeling angry and upset with him the whole day, but really fighting against showing it, or saying mean things to him that I didn't really mean and couldn't take back. At the Farmers Market however, I got over myself and we did a pretty good job at getting our stuff. I think we came away with a pretty good bounty. We stuck to our new rule when we got home, which is that no food from the FM can go into the fridge until we've processed it. For example, we got a ton of carrots. I had to prep them for making baby food, which only consists of peeling and chopping them, so they're ready to cook and puree. I was pretty proud of both of us for sticking to that rule.

It got kind of hot, and then cooled off nicely in the evening. I had to remove myself from everyone, while Martyn was taking a nap, and go take a nap myself in the man cave. I really didn't feel like being a jerk to my wonderful husband, and if I had stayed up, I probably would have been. I really needed a nap. As it turns out, the reason for my crankiness today, and just lately in general was because of the return of my "lady days".... I'll leave it at that.
