Tiredness lays under the giddy

I was afraid that when I got to the studio tonight I would be very tired. Instead I found that I was very awake and ready to teach! Go figure. Now that I'm home though, I really really want to go to bed, but can't because the Sci Sci is awake and kicking and NOT showing signs of wanting to sleep. I'm half tempted to just put her in her bed, in her room and turn off the lights. I know that I won't be able to tolerate the screaming though. it's not like she's in a bad mood... She's just in a hper giddy moood... I was hoping she'd calm down by now!!!

Instead of coming home and taking a nap today, I decided I'd drag her to JoAnn Fabrics and get my sister a Christmas present. I also needed to get a turn signal bulb for my lovely orange Aveo. Scianna was okay in the car place, but went down hill from there. She was okay in some of Joanne's but eventually she was just a screamy wet mess. I don't think her diaper was changed since I changed it this morning, and she ended up leaking all over the place (mostly my coat.. ugh!) I didn't even have any diapers in my car that would fit her. I had to use a size 3 which is really to small for her. Serves me right for doing something on a whim.

Speaking of Joanne's... I'm getting kind of frustrated, because I want to knit cool things, but I don't want to use a pattern. This is kind of difficult, because I haven't really made anything but a couple of hats. I was hoping to make a few dog sweaters: One for Duples, one for Pal and one for Lola. I should probably try to do something simple first.. but I get all these complicated pictures in my head. Lord knows I have enough yarn. I hope that I can get into it.

My daughter isn't even two years old and I think she is a chocolate addict. She sits here while I'm typing saying "Choc-o-late...two please". She's already had some today, so I'm not really inclinded to give her anymore... yet she sits here and whines and pleads.

I'm not particularly good with the whining. It actually buggs the tar out of me. *sigh*. I'm so unsure about this parenting thing. She can be so good at times, and other times she has complete melt-downs!

I think all my hard work paid off. There were tons of cookies for the students and hopefully there still will be for tomorrow. I walked in the lounge around lunch time and there were three or four student workers helping themselves to goodies. It makes me feel good that I was able to do something for them. Even if it means my brain is fried today.

Oh the curses of the pre-order!. I orderd my dad a copy of the simpsons movie a while back.. pre-order. Of course it doesn't even come out until december 18th. I was hoping that it would ship out on that day from amazon and be here in time for Christmas. Now, I'm not so sure. This makes me nervous... I was really hoping to be able to give it to him.

Oh the child is rebelling against my saying no to the chocolate goodness... So.. I think I might alight to the couch and try to get her to go to sleep.
