It happened again! I took Brooke out in negative temperatures for my own selfish need to go to Starbucks ... and when we get there the seats are all taken! There were actually two extra seats, next to a homeless/bag lady. I've seen her in there before, she parks in front of the fireplace with all of her bags and sits there forever. She talks to herself, and last time I saw her she was obviously sick (like cold/flu sick). So technically, yes, there were seats - but there was nowhere for me to sit :( So I took my coffee & scone (at least I got my order right) and we are back at home, trapped inside on this sub-zero day.
On A Better Note
Brooke had a "normal" night of sleep last night. She fell asleep at 11:30 and woke up at 5, falling back to sleep around 6 and getting up for the day at 7:45. Of course "getting up for the day" means "waking Mommy up for the day and falling aleep to take a nap about an hour later" ... but still, its quite the improvement over the past two weeks. I'm not going to get my hopes up and assume we are on any sort of path to improvement, but at least we had one good night. For some reason I am even more tired today than I have been on all of the sleepness nights, but I cant blame that on her for once!
