As of right now my kids are sleeping so its my time to write in my blog! I have been having some problems with my kids and maybe you mommies out their can help me. My oldest is out of her terrible twos but that doesn't mean that they are gone. The terrible threes are just as bad as the terrible two's if not worse. Maybe it should be called the treacherous three's who knows! But, my seemingly smart wonderfully sweet baby girl is now a very mean, misbehaving, demon child that I no longer know. Yes I said DEMON CHILD! She is my kid and I have every right to call her that but you don't so lets get that straight now! :)--->randomness sorry! Any-who...I also have a 18mth old whom is now old enough to sleep in a big girl bed! So we (myself reluctantly) moved her into her sisters room so she can sleep in her "Big Girl Bed"! This has been absolute hell! And I mean HELL! My baby girl had no problem sleeping in her bed, but her smart, older sister waits until mommy and daddy are sleeping to sneak out of her bed and wake her peacefully sleeping baby sister up. In return MOMMY is no longer SLEEPING! So here I am at 1:30 in the morning threatening my kids to an inch of their lives that if they don't go to sleep that they are both going to go to jail with their daddy in the morning! Yes I know its grasping at straws when you are trying to negotiate with a three year old and an 18mth old, but at 1:30 in the morning who really knows what to do other than pull up a pillow and blanket and lay between the two beds to make sure said children don't move. Yeah right! These said children are to smart for mommy at 1:30 in the morning. So I lie their thinking "OK they are on their way to dream land" (hold that thought pizza is ready) OK I'm back...well mistakenly they fooled me, I grabbed my pillows and tip toed quietly out of their room thinking to myself "yes! I did it now back to bed for me" Oh no my kids had played the old tried and true opossum trick that I used on my parents at there age! Omg my kids did this to me! To me! I thought I was smart. I thought I was keen on all these things that kids pulled but once again I was wrong. I sat on my couch listening to these two wonderfully spectacular DEMON children (anyone who wakes up their parents before 6 in the morning and are over the age of 1 are considered this ha ha)playing in the room. And I don't mean just playing, I mean screaming and laughing gleefully. Needless to say mommy went with out sleep from 1:30 this morning to about 6 this morning. When I finally got to lay down I crashed and we all didn't wake up till about 10 this morning! Which was a blessing I may say but here is the problem. It isn't supposed to be this hard to transition a child from mommy and daddy's room is it! I mean this is crazy! Now don't get me wrong I didn't go into parenthood thinking I would get a spectacular 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep a night and wake up refreshed and renewed! Yeah right! But I look forward to my 4-6 hours a night. I love to sleep! Its the one place I can run to without hearing "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy" Every five minutes! Seriously! I really thought I was over the sleepless nights but it seems we are starting all over again! HA! So, here are my plans: either I give it another couple of days and risk becoming the mommy that is so zombied out that I can't find the time in the day to shower, or I take down the pack and play out of my room and transfer the babybed back in there with us! The only downside to that is mommy and daddy don't get to "EXERCISE" very frequently in the comfort of our own bed! So I'm once again stuck between a rock and a hard place. So help a sista out and give me some advice girls! Cause I'm all out of my own ideas!
