- Why does my son have to go to bed angry and wake up angry. Last night was horrible and the night before. Monday night was Bible study so we got home very late, and Joshua didn't get to bed until 9:30. It was finally 10pm when he did fall asleep and he was balling the entire time. He woke up a few times in the night very upset. I told Michael I am making sure I leave the Church by 8:30 no matter what so he can get to bed at a reasonable time and hopefully not be so crabby.
- I might start my own business selling my wood letters I make. A friend of mine a while ago suggested I start selling my wood letters I enjoy decorating. Just last week I made 6 letters (Hannah) for a friend of mine who is having a girl. I enjoyed it so much the thought came back into my mind that maybe I should make them by special order and sell them on the internet. The same friend who gave me the I idea, thanks Shannon, gave me the URL to a server that allows you to sell items on it and they don't ask for a penny from you. What a deal. All I would have to pay for are the credit card transactions, like a normal business would do. So I would LOVE prayer on this subject. I want to dive right on in and start it up but I also want to make sure this is GODS!!! will for me. I have jumped into things before with not much prayer and would really like God to back me up on this one first. I don't want to be miserable later.
- I want Christmas to get here so Michael will be done with the semester.
- My son is addicted to the television and it is very hard getting him off. Yesterday he watched a lot of TV and all afternoon he had a bad attitude and especially before he went to bed he did. A while ago he watched a lot of TV because we were sick and that evening he had a bad attitude. I think TV correlates with his bad attitude so I am cutting him off. I read an article that says children should get only 2 hours of screen time, movies, TV shows, computer games, and video games are all included. I think it is a good idea. So now in the morning he gets to watch "Super Why" a great reading show he loves to sing a long with and "Barney".
- I love going to my pre/postnatal exercise class. It is on Tuesday and Thursday nights for an hour. I am able to get together with other pregnant women about 11 or 12 and exercise. I love being able to see everyone grow, and being able to see their babies after they have them. I was in this class when I was pregnant with Joshua and loved it, I couldn't wait to start taking the class again.
- I want to feel our baby move. Like any pregnant women it is always amazing when you get to feel your baby move around. I especially want to feel the baby move since at my last appointment I didn't get to hear the heart beat. I know the doctor said everything is great but I am still concerned.
- I want my son to sleep past 7am even if it is only on Saturdays. No matter what time he goes to bed he still wake us up at 7am or before. I would love it if he would make that time become a little later.

Well you just summed up my life as well. I think the kiddos go through bad spurts, mine is just coming out of one!!!! I think it's Gods way of letting us know our kids will forever make us looney!!!I have also cut my kiddo from the TV. I tell him he needs to do something productive, so he normally builds forts. He doesn't play with toys, hardly ever.
Have you looked into Etsy for selling letters? (I haven't seen such letters of you by the way.....) I don't know much about the process, but it a great site.
Wow... that was long. Just wanted to tell you you're not alone in your feelings.
Hi Lee Ann, bedtime is a mystery. Lately Isabel gives everyone a kiss and just walks to her bed all by herself. I keep thinking to myself "if this is so easy with her, it must be coming back to me with an extremely difficult bedtime routine with the next one." Keep being consistent. You are a great mother. And I will pray for you about your new business, I made some for my mom because she graduated from college last semester, they actually turned out pretty cute. Thanks for the tips.
I'm so excited to hear about the possibility of your business!! That would be fantastic! I will definately be praying about that one. And keep your head up about Joshua and bedtimes. Every child deals with bedtime differently. Just make sure that you have a bedtime routine (ie: get a drink, brush teeth, read a book, say goodnight). I was surprised at how much difference a strict routine made with Jillian. But even if that doesn't work, you're doing a good job and it will all eventually smooth out. :)
If I have a routine it helps a little but it really just makes him cry and wine a little less than usual. I seem to get frustrated either way with him.
