DYK since 5:00 I've made dinner & ate with the kids, bathed the kids, started 2 loads of laundry, taken out the trash, cleaned up the kitchen, and gotten DS' snack bucket filled for PS tomorrow...I still need to finish the last load of laundry.
DYK I was shocked that the kids actually LIKED the dinner!
DYK we had chickpea & spinach salad w/ lemon-cumin dressing and yogurt sauce, mini WW pitas, and chicken strips that I marinated in (fresh-squeezed) lemon & orange juice and then grilled...oh, and grapes.
DYK I just realized I think I'm out of SF chocolate pudding...darn!!
DYK "America Idol" isn't on here til 9:00 tonite because of a stupid basketball game!

DYK and don't you dare tell me who got sent home on The Biggest Loser last night, either...I still have 12 minutes left to watch on that one!!

dyk Abigail is in her room screaming - very fake very tired sounding
dyk she wanted to go to bed at 5:40pm
dyk we ate and then Sean got home and she got in bed at 7:00
dyk we've had to put her back in bed only once - just now when she was standing in her doorway screaming MOMMY DADDY
dyk now she's just crying it's getting irritating - we can't get away from it and I am about to go in there and spank her
DYK as hard as it is, DON'T RESPOND!!!!
DYK that's what she wants and expects you to do.
dyk when Sean went to put her back into her bed he said, No yelling. Goodnight.

dyk 8pm and it's quiet.
dyk I don't know if that means she's asleep but she's at least given up the screeching and hollering and calling.
dyk and she only got up once (so far) but it was only to her doorway and not even out of her room, so I think that's pretty successful!!!
dyk without movie at night, she's actually watched an 1.5 hour movie at quiet time without getting up.
dyk nope she's not asleep
dyk Sean and I are sitting here doing the emotional needs quiestionairres that go with the sex challenge
dyk he's on #10, I just finished up. then we get to switch and read.
dyk I am so tired right now! I will be tucked into bed in my glasses by 9pm to watch Men In Trees!@
DYK stay strong with the bedtime thing!
DYK I know it's hard, but it will pay off in the end!
DYK you are doing SO great!
DYK when DH got home tonite the kids were out with me while I was shoveling the driveway...his comment--"thanks for trying to shovel"!
DYK WTF? Trying?! I had the entire driveway done except for a very small patch in front of the 3rd stall, where NOBODY parks anyway!
DYK he proceeded to finish it, and do the stairs, before even coming in the house and changing?
DYK oh well, if he wants to be so particular...
DYK poor guy came inside, changed clothes, and spent the next 2 hours replacing the sump pump so our basement wouldn't flood!
DYK he even missed dinner...had a protein shake just now (8:00)
