So I"m doing better than last time. Thank you to everybody who offered suggestions or comfort. I do appreciate it.
The baby had a bad cold and couldn't breathe, so we had some bad nights, but now she's well and slept almost 5 hrs in a row last night! I could work with that. In a perfect world, she would go to bed at 8, the husband and I at 10, she'd wake up once or twice before 6am and we'd all get up then. If I could catch a nap with her most days, it would be fine. That's what we're working towards. We're using the No-Cry Sleep Solution book now. We'll see how it goes. Also, goat's milk is teh bomb. I am expecting it to be instrumental in weaning her.
On the writing side of things, I'm not really producing anything right now. For a long time now. I'm using Scrivener to at least outline my plot bunnies so I don't feel like they're getting lost, but no idea when anything will be done to post. I am painfully out of practice. I feel like my skill level is like--back to what it was in 2004 or something. These naked skeletons of plots with no meat on them. So sad. Nothing to do about it but start writing again, because it is what I want to do and something that makes me feel fulfilled. Frustrating though.
