DYK We're thinking about doing the opposite...go from DishNetwork to DirecTv?

DYK The DishNetwork service guys around here are just the worst?

DYK And it takes forever and a day on the phone to get anything done?

DYK Plus, we've had both of our dvr's die on us in the past 6 months?

DYK There for a while, I felt like I was dealing with them every day and that just got to be too much?

DYK Maybe these meltdowns will get better/less often with time as she gets older?

DYK Are the meltdowns just a result of not wanting to go to bed...or is there something else she is wanting?

DYK I remember having to be really strict with bedtime with Maegan at that age?

DYK Now, she just knows when it is her bedtime and goes herself?

DYK Or like tonight, she actually went to bed 30 minutes early and when I told her she could read for 30 minutes, she told me she was tired and just wanted to go to sleep?

DYK I suppose she is tired...2 days back to school after 2 weeks off?

DYK I'm bored...I think I will cross-stitch for a while before turning in?

dyk the meltdowns are weather related, high pressure/low pressure, sensory issues that affect her frustration levels (heightened), tolerance levels (lower) and routine changes


dyk I know not going back to school is best, but there is some transition into a new schedule at home, we have added some responsibilities back into her day, and she and Deklan are working things out now that she is home full time again

dyk we handle is by doing our absolute best not to react to it


dyk we let her have her emotions, and we just try and help her work through


dyk tonight's big issue was her christmas tree lights being out, so I took hers down, and put Dek's in the middle so that his tree shone on both beds and that was that


dky Dek wasn't really pleased but he manages better, he just pouted and I gave him a hug lol

dyk, it's still freezing here and I can see myself turning into a compulsive weather watcher

dyk, if my flight doesn't take off next Friday, angry will be a mild description of me on that day

dyk she had no idea what to expect and when the waitress put it down in front of her she said "OH, vanilla, pink and chocolate"
