today is the middle of a pretty darn good week-unit.
I am happy today. :) Today was Momease and like Momease a lot. Mark H spoke and he answered a bunch of questions that were very interesting! Tonight is Singles' Group and I enjoy that too!
I just got finished making a schedule of my kid's life and it is pretty funny...especially her bedtime routine. It's ridiculous!! But it works pretty well, so whatever, I guess.
Here it is in all it's OCD ridiculous glory
Lucy has to be in bed BY 8:30. - At 8:30/8:45 the window slams shut, and she'll be awake til 11.
Routine:
-go potty, change diaper, brush teeth, jammies.
-Read a few stories
-Turn off light, say prayers, then a short sweet rundown of the day ("we went to ____, that was fun, huh?”, "Did you have fun?”, “Now Lucy has to go to sleep so we can have fun tomorrow!” “Everyone’s going to sleep”, etc)
-hugs, more prayer, pacifier and doggie, more hugs, lay down.
-She will ask for another hug after you've tucked her in - give it to her then tuck her in again.
-Be sure to tuck in her toes -fold blanket under her feet. Give her doggie, green bunny and other bunny (white one).
-As you close the door, tell her "goodnight, I love you, byebye" and when she askes for more huggies, say no you just gave her huggies and goodnight, and close the door.
-If Gwen goes to bed at the same time, it helps incredibly much.
-If you can convince her that Lizzie and Brad and Gwen and Mommy and Daddy and Grandma and Grampa, etc are all going to bed too, then that helps a lot too.
-Then keep it quiet-ish in the living room, she'll sing and talk to herself till she goes to sleep.

You're kid's two and has OCD. But seriously, you're not laying that out for the babysitter this weekend, are you? That's insane.
YEs, because if the babysitter does it (which is way easier than it sounds), life will be simple.
She didn't need any of that stuff for me, she went right to sleep, she didn't ask for extra hugs or complain about her feet. I did tell her everyone would be going to sleep and she liked that. Fortunately, it was mostly true, Brad and I were exhausted! Couple short hours later we were asleep! :)It's not OCD either, everyone has a routine, ours are just more adult. :) I have to watch a show, cuddle with brad, take a shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth, go lay down in bed and talk to brad for an hour and then go to sleep. It is definately more challenging to fall asleep if one of those things is missing. I bet it's the same for you all too!
That's funny. Maybe she just kno9ws she can work me. hahah
Yeah you do have quite the routine, huh? I guess I do too!
If you don't blog soon I'm going to egg the inside of your house.
