On Saturday, I ironed and washed dishes by hand, both chores that strain my hip. &nbsp;Then Sunday morning, I was scheduled to work the crawler nursery (8-13 months), but ended up volunteering to move to the 2-year old room. &nbsp;Needless to say, my hip was bugging me pretty badly yesterday afternoon. &nbsp;So I actually tried to sit\/lay down as much as possible. &nbsp;Today, it seems to be better, so hopefully, we can keep it that way!<\/p>\n<p>Eric made dinner for us all last night. &nbsp;He made French Toast, using Alton Brown&#8217;s recipe (food network guy, if you don&#8217;t know) and bacon. It was yummy!&nbsp;Unfortunately, I had to clean up after dinner&#8230;so somehow that part didn&#8217;t work out in my favor&#8230;but the rest of it was good! <IMG height=15 src=\"http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/Images\/smiley3.gif\" width=15><\/p>\n<p>After a week of strange nap schedules, I made sure we had 2 naps a day all weekend long. &nbsp;We are finally starting to return to a &#8220;normal&#8221; schedule again. &nbsp;It is so strange how babies actually do sleep less, the less sleep they get. &nbsp;Weird&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and lastly, thanks to all the comments and advice on Friday&#8217;s post. &nbsp;I just needed to hear some &#8220;what worked for me&#8221; stories, so your comments were very helpful. &nbsp;Still no clear plans, but at least I have some ideas!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I need to go play with my son (Erin&#8217;s still sleeping!)&#8230;happy Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know how I have so much random stuff in my head just after 7:00 am on a Monday morning, but here&#8217;s a glimpse for you&#8230; Last Friday, I looked up my posts from the 24th week of my &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/2010\/06\/28\/collection-of-thoughts\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
