I suck as a parent today.

DS woke us up at like 330 this morning. He fell back into a deep sleep around 5, and I had to get up for work.
DH is teaching tonight, leaving me alone with DS until about 8. I am so tired from the broken night's sleep plus post-ovulation drag that I always get that I can barely function.
Now I confess the reasons for my guilt: 1) DS loves the movie Elf, and I am allowing it to play in the background, possibly on repeat until DH gets home. 2) I have a box of dried beans I let him play with. I have let him spread them all over the floor and run his trains through them. I should be down there with him but I teach kids how to play all day at work and I cannot muster another therapeutic moment tonight. 3)I have asked DS 3 times if he is hungry for dinner and if he wants to eat like 5 different things we have (leftovers, of course). He keeps saying "no" and I'm not going to force him, simply because I'm too tired to even go out and pick up junk. When he's hungry, we'll eat. 4) I secretly hope that DS requests to wait for DH for bath time. 5) I'm cold and I cranked up the heat. I don't even feel that guilty about that, haha.
Confession over.

DH and DS will enjoy a fine meal of the Bell. I will go to bed and enjoy every moment of sleep until DS wakes up at like 4 (full moon is coming, never fails to eff up our sleep for a week).

He wore sleepers all day because we didn't leave the house - lol.
Yogurt and orange juice are the only "healthy" foods he likes. His dinner consisted of macaroni and Kool-aide
