Poker Night: The Day After


Last night I hosted a very successful Ladies' Poker Night. Roni and Steph joined our group, so there were 8 of us duking it out. I was the first to go out, very early, and finally at 1 am Stephanie finally beat Alisa to claim the $40 pot. It was a great time with great food and it was nice to have Roni and Steph there. A great night.

The day after has not been so good. After the girls all left, I loaded the dishwasher and went to bed at 1:30. At 1:35 Ryan was up, hungry and wide awake. Finally I went to bed at 3 am. Then Todd came in at 6 am, and we talked until 7:30, and then Ryan got up. He has been alternating between extremely playful and cranky all day because he has only had 2 - 30 minute naps today. Hopefully he is falling asleep while I am upstairs typing this. But, Todd has been home all day so we have had some good family together time, and I made him his traditional box of Saturday Kraft dinner before he left for work.

The other lovely news today is that I woke up covered head to toe in hives. Very itchy. I have no idea why, and I don't think I ate anything unusual last night. I took some benydryl and it seems to be helping, sort of.
