One of those days...

Ever try having house repairs done with workers coming and going out of your house when you have a one year old? A one year old who naps twice a day...it's challenging to say the least. Oh! I forgot to add the critical piece - a barking dog. Insert teeth grinding face here.

So today was one of those days. We had both the a/c repair guy and the Comcast repair guy here, at two different times, both not so conveniently at the little guy's nap times...can you see where I'm going here?

The first time, I put Colgan in a Pak 'n Play in our room, since the a/c guy had to get into his closet. He wasn't liking the new surroundings, but did finally fall asleep. That is until the dog barks when the a/c guy arrives early...and then wakes again when said a/c guy tests the central vac right by the bedroom. Now, guess who woke up for good?

Even without his nap, our typically well-rested lil guy was still in a pleasant mood. We enjoyed a great walk, yummy lunch, and then it was time to try nap 2. This one took some time, but he finally fell asleep after about 45 minutes and a lil coaching from Mom. Comcast calls not 15 minutes later (mind you, we had an 8-5 pm window), to let me know he was on his way.

At this point, I'm pretty sure Colgan is sleeping hard since he didn't nap much this morning, but low and behold about 45 minutes into the service call, Colgan is awoken again. And this time he's mad - throws his paci, scratches my face and rants like I can understand what he's saying. Quite frankly Colgan, I agree with you. Yes, it's been one of those days...
