I am awake.  I have been awake since 5 am.

Cara is awake.  Cara has been awake since 5 am.

Do you see a correlation here?

Not only did she wake up but I could here her bouncing in her crib and couldn’t help but hear the earsplitting screams.  [Cara, is the screaming REALLY necessary?!]

The most maddening part about the screaming is that it’s not a pissed off scream or a sad scream.  It’s just a damn loud scream to let me know that she’s ready to get up.

I know I’m a big ole whiny ass and all of that BUT you keep coming back.  SO, you either enjoy reading my bitching OR you enjoy my OVERUSE of capitalization.  [It's definitely the last one.]

There’s been tons of stuff posted on the internet recently on the heels of Blogher about being a positive influence with your blog and changing the world and lots of other shiny, happy things.

I will admit that I am rather jaded when it comes to all of that.

I was at Starbuck’s yesterday getting my Pumpkin Spice Latte with no whip and no sprinkles. [OH SO TASTY!]

For some reason I had cash and paid the chick with a ten. She handed me back the change in all ones. Not a big deal. Having a wad of ones makes me feel like I have more money than I really do. [I’m a dork. I embrace this fact]

Of course, she handed me the ones going in every direction known to man. That bugs the shit out of me. All of the bills should be turned in the same direction. Bills laid out all willy-nilly are the stepping stones to anarchy. What’s next? Martial Law?!

Dead car batteries suck. Plain and simple.

I rented that carpet cleaner yesterday and I had to take it back today before 11 am. Of course it had to be raining, so strapped Cara into her seat and then went back for the carpet cleaner. [damn thing weighs a ton!]

We got to Home Depot, no problem. The rain had stopped and Cara was asleep. Since I didn’t want to wake the monster, I pulled right up next to the door, lugged the carpet cleaner out of the back of the SUV and locked the sleeping Cara in the car. [It wasn’t hot and she was asleep. Quit judging!]

I love coffee today. It makes me feel somewhat human. It makes my brain not as foggy. Thank you, coffee for having caffeine and being oh so tasty.

Cara decided that last night would be a stellar night to NOT SLEEP. All told, I think she/I got maybe three hours of sleep total.

I figure her mouth was bothering her since she got no Motrin last night or maybe she just thought it was a funny joke. She has six teeth now, four on top and two on bottom. I would think that she would be done for a little while but I could definitely be wrong.
