Hi Bloggy Family,
Well I survived the first week of school, Yay! My classes aren’t bad really, but have one I am kicking myself for taking. It is an Art classe Women Art & Society. It is really interesting, but reading the book is like reading sand script! There are like 10 papers due for it, ugh. That is the class I am worried about.
I am glad hubby didn’t take more online classes, one computer just isn’t enough.
The kids are doing well. They are adjusting to our early mornings. Teenager to school at 7am, come home, eat breakfast and finally take younger kids to school at 9. Its Mom that would love to sleep in.
I love sleep. I’d choose sleep over all else if I could.
Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous. We ran around town and I didn’t even need my little jacket. I love winter, snow, etc… but I really miss my walks.
Well better run, gotta warm up the truck. Have a great week everybody!
Oh yea, remember the Bare Escentuals giveaway starts on Friday. I am so excited. I want some…
My son’s team won their game Friday, woo hoo. Now this Saturday, they will be playing another tuff team and I am sure it is going to be FREEZING… I love the cold, just not when I am trying to watch a game with baby girl!
I went to several appointments yesterday. First was the physical I told you about, still have to get a blood test to see how my Cholesterol is doing. But I have been incorporating a lot of ground Flax in my diet… It’s funny I don’t walk around eating tons of Cholesterol items, must be another thing like my Big Butt I have to thank hereditary for… He was pleased with the eating plan I would be doing. And he also gave me the goods!!!
The second appointment was a free consultation regarding Lasik surgery with the folks at the Lasik Vision Institute. It is probably the best price out there, but they failed to mention I would have to drive out of town to get my surgery. I would already have to keep my eyes closed for most of the day, I thought I could just go home and go to bed. Hmm I’ll have to think on it.
Lastly went to get my eyes checked. And he was able to prescribe a less expensive lenses, thank goodness cause I will wear these bad boys tell they scream to come out! Meaning I will wear them way past the 2 weeks or month they are meant for. Dr. Conkey you Rock!
My Ballerina has been jumping in bed with me every night. I take her to bed and she will be back in an hour. I am sure she is adjusting to Kindergarten, and I just have to be patient, but I am tired.
Oh here is a pic of the costume my snl and I worked on, whatcha think?
Pretty cool huh?!
Sleep has been hard to come by lately. I have no problems sleeping when allowed to, but my two littlest ones have been having a hard time sleeping themselves.
Our youngest baby girl, who is now recovering from a cold has also been battling very large pulsating gums due to the very large molars trying to come out. Poor thing, she is only 15 months old, give a girl a break.
Babies sure go through a lot, don’t they? I mean right off the bat they are getting squished, squeezed and pulled on just to get born. Than the nurses wake them up every hour for temperature readings (I know it is necessary). Than they have to get shots, hearing tests, washed, etc…
Than they go home and all our babies want to do is sleep, but we can’t stop holding them, touching them and talking to them. Only for us to shortly begin begging our babies to go back to sleep.
Than there is the whole gas thing… I tried my hardest to feed our little ones properly, tried to help them latch on perfectly, but it didn’t matter. Our little ones still looked up at us desperately, “pat me, burp me, help me toot, I don’t care, just get it OUT!”
Our youngest when she was new...
Ignore the time stamp, it kept resetting. She was born in 2008.
My littlest one turned 4 months old last week. For the past two months, we have been sleeping pretty good. If she wakes up in the night, I just lay her beside me and nurse. Sometimes she gets her two regular naps in the day, but not consistently and not for very long.
Every once in a while, there is that extremely long nap she takes that makes me concerned. If she sleeps past two hours, I start several stages of worry.
The first stage of worry is I start telling myself “she is fine, quit being such a worry wort.”
The second stage of worry, I can’t take it anymore and quietly sneak in the room (risk breaking the silence in the air & waking her up) just to see her chest move, hear her breath or see if she moves.
Lastly, I go completely coo coo and consider waking her up. What am I nuts…. #1 she needs her sleep and is making up for the times she hasn’t napped properly. #2 I have been more than ready to take a nap myself or get caught up on chores. Heck, taking a nice long shower would be great. But NO, I have spent this entire time worrying if she is sleeping too long.
You’d think after 4 kids I would be use to this, but it’s the same each time.
