Wednesday confession

MrsAmers · June 2013

I was so exhausted from two days of solo parenting that I just let Todd sleep in my bed last night. Instead of fighting his stalling efforts, I just sat next to him on my bed and read things on my phone until he gave in to sleep (finally) at 9:45.

Is it the weekend yet?

I can commiserate. We've been having bedtime issues with our darling 4 year old as well. We've resorted to paying her a quarter if she stays in her room after we put her to bed.

Once she's asleeep she's a great sleeper. But the whole going to sleep process can take 2 hours.

I tried that this morning when Logan decided he wanted to wake up at 5 and play instead of going back to bed for another hour and half. He wanted nothing to do with the big bed and got right down to play with his toys. *YAWN*

Mason sleeps in our bed or on our floor in a sleeping bag every night. Last year we tried to transition him back to his bed, he woke up in the middle of the night, and fell down the stairs (we had a gate up), so we never really tried to get him back in his room after that. I got over stressing about it a long time ago, and actually don't mind having him in our bed. I used to be all, "my kid will never sleep in my bed!" and yet here I am!

Liam is sick (again, sigh) and I was home with him yesterday; my mom volunteered to come up & watch him today, and while I appreciated her offer, part of me wanted to say "no thanks! I'll take another day off so I don't have to go into the office!" but then I also remembered that I had plans for lunch with a friend, so that made coming in a bit better

That was me the other day. Logan had a fever from teething on Monday and I was completely ready to take Tuesday off to stay home with him. No fever, so I was here. Bummer!

Also, I was so frustrated this morning at the lack of listening and cooperation that I cried while asking the kids to put on their shoes.

Megan, there is definitely not enough space for T in our bed when DH is home and he's been sleeping successfully in his own room for two years, so I'm not really worried about a bad habit... But I was just too tired to care anymore! Although when he started kicking me and pulling on my hair at 1am, I was a bit annoyed. :-)

I am suppose to go to the Lady Bucs night at Pirate game tonight with friends. Yet these storms coming could kill that. DH is traveling and in laws will get Madi from daycare and having her stay the night (even if game is cancelled). Part of me hopes the game is cancelled and I could leisurely make my way home and exercise etc with a night to myself. :P

It's totally a bad habit that I know we need to break, but I'm "meh" about it at this point! My confession was more that I was a judger of older kids sleeping in their parents bed, and now karma is biting me in the a$$. Fortunately Garrett loves his own bed and sleeping by himself!

My supervisor is out of the office so I'm technically in charge and should be working harder but instead feel like doing nothing. The sleep troubles in my house that I posted about yesterday are killing me and I am hosting a block party at my house on Saturday which I'm obsessing over.

We have this problem with our 4 year old too. She has gotten much better now that it's summer and I can run her ragged outside. It also helped when we went for her 4 year check up that the doctor flat out told her that all of her messing around at bedtime is not ok. The pedi said, "you go in your bed and you lay there quietly until you fall asleep." (In a stern voice) It really helped to hear it from someone other than me and dh.

I pinched my sciatic nerve sometime over the weekend, was in crazy pain sunday but it has since improved. K went OOT for work, and EJ is at my ILs until he returns. I am lonely without all of their excessive non-stop chatter that I complain about so often. I also unrolled a rug we had delivered and moved about half of the furniture back into the room. Probably not my brightest idea in the back healing strategy. But I don't feel any worse today. Just the same. stupid nerves.

MandyMilller · June 2013

I confess that I went into Wes's room and brought him into bed with us when the storms started last night (Lanna was already there). He probably slept worse because of it, but our plan is such a target for wind and lightening, and a neighbor's house was struck before. And it was so windy it knocked over our playset and grill. So instead of him waking me up to come and comfort him, I woke him up to come and comfort me.
