What a baby

Chloe is driving me crazy today! We went grocery shopping this morning, and she was fine, but since then, she's been so whiny. She'll be all happy for a little while and then she'll just get whiny and start yelling about nothing. Her diaper is fine. I took care of the fleas yesterday, so it's not that. It's 4:00 and she's already had 4 full bottles and lots of cereal mixed with fruit. She had her nap. I don't know what her deal is, but I just put her in her crib because I can't handle her anymore. She's safe in there, even if she doesn't like it. She's much better off in her lovely room in her spacious crib than she is in here screaming in my face and pushing me to the edge. I'm particularly moody today. I remember when I was pregnant with Chloe, I still had my PMS type crap when I should have had a period. Maybe that's what's going on today. All I know is I can't wait to take her to daycare tomorrow. God I'm a horrible mother.

I was planning on going to summer school this year so that I could make up for lost credits when I have this baby, but I got my financial aid information yesterday, and it's no good. The only thing I can get in the summer is an unsubsidized loan. I've already taken out several loans, and I really don't want to add on to them. I know I'll be making better money when I graduate, but I still really won't be making that much. So now I'm desperatly trying to figure out some way that I can attend school in the fall (I'm assuming that I'll get grants again in the fall). I'm thinking I could pass ok if I miss two weeks of school. So if I could find someone trustworthy to watch the new baby once it's 2 weeks old, I could go back to school. I know I was fine within 2 weeks when I had Chloe. But I'm not going to worry about it until I find out whether or not I'll get grants in the fall.

Ok, Chloe stopped screaming. Maybe she just needed a nap. She has been very active today. When she wasn't throwing fits, she was crawling all over the place and walking with support from the couch and coffee table. I think I feel the new little one moving around. I have my laptop kind of rammed against my abdomen, and apparantly that makes it easier to feel movement.

So I've had to take it easy today. Yesterday I did the flea treatment. It was a lot of work. I had to move all the furniture, vacuum everywhere, and use a push broom to work the powder into the carpet (which was not easy work). Needless to say, I did a little too much and now my back is hurting a lot. And I still have to treat my bedroom. Thank goodness I tore out the carpet in the other two bedrooms. South Texas is just not a good place for carpet. Carpet is great in Idaho because it's always so freaking cold and there isn't really a bug problem. That's obviously not the case here. Oh, and I also did three huge batches of laundry yesterday. I have to wash EVERYTHING in hot water because of the flea problem. I couldn't finish the laundry today because it's all rainy and our dryer broke months ago, and instead of fixing it, we put up a clothes line. I do like drying the clothes outside because it saves energy, and it makes clothes last longer, but it sucks when the weather's crappy. Plus, it makes our backyard look like the ghetto. Speaking of the laundry, it hasn't rained in a few hours, so I should go see if the laundry's dry enough to bring in.
