What day is it?

So how did it get to be Saturday night. So much for posting everyday. I didn't even make it a week . . . just as bad as any diet I've ever tried. Sheeesh. Mildly disappointing. So what to report. Not much of anything really. Been the usual. Get up feed the kid, have kid fight taking her bottle, try waiting it out, give in and feed kid food food and kid eats like she hasn't been feed in days, try to get kid to take a nap, succeed for a mere thirty minutes, get the kid, play and play some more, try a sneak attack with the bottle to feed the kid, success until she bats it away after only a half ounce or so, fight kid with bottle again, give in and let her starve, play some more, let her play on her own in the playpen, rescue screaming child, try bottle again - no success, put down for yet another power nap (45 minutes or less), don't do anything productive during nap (watch Martha Stewart rerun and feel like less of a woman/mom and get energized just in time - ), kid wakes screaming from nap, play with kid, feed kid dinner again to a starving child, try to make and eat dinner while hot to no avail, get kid in tubby, get kid clean, lotion jammies etc, try to read book but fighting with kid to read pages while she tries to eat said book, try for one last bottle of the day, moderate success but then fighting the bottle so put her to bed, screaming begins, let her scream for a little while, can't take screaming, go put goodie back in mouth and soothe, go listen to screams again, go put in goodie and rock, go listen to screams again, try bottle and eats like she hasn't eaten since the womb, put goodie in mouth and put to bed again, silence, go sit on the couch for an hour, check on child three times, contemplate taking shower, child wakes, go put goodie in mouth and soothe, wait on couch, worry that something is wrong, check on her - looks like angel sleeping, take shower, check on kid - still an angel, write blog post and worry what the night ahead has for her . . .
