dyk I'm in a grouchy mood :( and totally at a loss as to what to do about Hayden and her coming down to our room 3 or 4 times a night.


dyk her mom lets her sleep with her, so when Hayden is here, keeping her in her room has become quite the chore.


dyk she knows the rule here...read a story, get tucked in, watch tv for 30 minutes, tv shuts off, time to close the eyes.


dyk but anytime she wakes up, she comes downstairs, the dogs get all riled up, I wake up, Aaron wakes up (in a fog and can't figure out what's going on, lol) and I tell her she needs to go back to bed...then come the tears.


dyk I don't think we've slept more than an hour or two at a time in the past couple months.

dyk when we had this problem with Nick he was younger


dyk we made him sleep in the floor next to our bed


dyk he of course had blankets and his pillow but no soft bed


dyk it fixed the problem fairly quickly


dyk plus, Hayden's old enough to realize that with 2 homes come 2 sets of rules


dyk stick to your set at your house and she'll get used to it again


dyk is her mom still going to counseling


dyk if not, maybe the continuity between the houses is starting to slip and that's what's preciptating this


dyk it'll get better

dyk sadly there will not be a florida vacation at christmas though, as i was given the wrong information from HR and they cannot advance me leave ..


dyk which means we lose money on the rental car already booked and the dogs which were booked to be kennelled...(cage-free)


dyk and passport which was done and rushed, so extra $$..


dyk and a couple of other things....


dyk so although I'm very happy with the new job, i'm bummed out about the holiday, especially because steve wasn't able to take holidays this summer due to his workload, so was going to have some holidays now..


dyk now he could still take time off..but I can't (other than the stats )
