6:00 a.m. Alarm goes off. Get up and work until noon.

12:00 p.m. Quick lunch and shower (I think I showered).

12:20 p.m. Resume work until 6:00 p.m.

6:00 p.m. Feed baby, eat, spend time with baby until she’s tired of me and wants M (which doesn’t take long today).

7:40 p.m. Go back to work. Beat head against wall for an hour on one stupid problem previously solved but newly reintroduced in a slightly different form.

11:10 p.m. Quit working for the night (having fixed the reintroduced bug, among other things). Get ready for bed and try to do some reading.

11:35 p.m. Baby’s asleep on the couch. M’s getting ready for bed. <Thump, waaaaanhhhh> Uh oh, baby fell off the couch. Work to get her calmed down and sleeping. Try to read some more. She won’t sleep.

12:00 a.m. Baby’s pinching and climbing M. Get baby and walk around for a while, cooing and soothing.

12:20 a.m. Baby’s asleep. Climb into bed, hand her off to nurse some if she wants (she does this in her sleep).

2:00 a.m. Dog’s gotta pee. So do I. Get up, let dog out, pee, let dog in, get back in bed.

2:40 a.m. Gotta pee again (gallon of sweet tea a day’ll do it). Up, pee, back in bed.

4:00 a.m. Dog’s gotta pee again. So do I. Get up, let dog out, pee, let dog in, get back in bed.

4:15 a.m. Dog wants in bed (which is too tall for him to jump into) and cries until he gets his way.

6:00 a.m. Alarm goes off. Get up and work until noon…
