Dear People Who Read My Mom’s Blog,
In the past few days things have suddenly changed around our house. My mom got this crazy idea that I needed more sleep, a better attitude, and a little more consistancy in my life.
On that note, I’ve been in bed before 9 PM most every night, have watched less Dora and Diego, and have been much more pleasant all around. Not to be outdone, I’m still balking every chance I’m getting, but I’m balking a little less and I think her ulterior motive is to get me in a balk-free state (or as much as possible) so I will think all of these “healthy changes” are good for me.
Personally? I think my mom is enjoying the fact that she can be in bed at a decent time and SHE’S getting more rest and acting a little less crabby.
Sincerely,
E.B.
when my big ones were little, when i got fed up with certain behaviors (like whining) i’d enact the zero tolerance stance … no questions asked, one whine and you are on the steps …… there’s nothing funnier than a three year old moping off to time out saying “i know, i know, z-woe tah-luh-wance”
thanks for the update e.b.!! 🙂
What is sleep? I have not known it to exist since I was pregnant with kindergarten kid six+ years ago. NHL goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 every night. JSL goes soon after that since he nurses and falls asleep in our room.
We have fought the ‘decent bedtime’ battle all of our parenting lives. I wonder why it has to be that hard.
Hope you keep getting extra rest!
What would we do without the influence of moms in our lives?
Sleep less…..?
I’m glad you are getting more sleep:)
