30 min naps and i think im gunna die!!

as if getting up with my little angle two to three times a night isn't bad enough he has some internal clock that is set for 30 min.... thats it 30 i cant for the life of me get him to nap longer ... sometimes even when i hold him he still is only asleep for that long... and the process of getting him asleep is such a challenge... i often wonder if i was this difficult.. i thought babies are supposed to sleep a lot .. and at 5 months they are supposed to be getting an average of 15 hrs of sleep a day..... we're not even close!! im so exhausted... its not that i want to nap all the time but for crying in the night.... i didnt know i was gunna have such a little busy body... he can be completely asleep have his eyes closed and still be yelling at me for putting him to sleep. and i dont have the heart or tough enough skin yet to let him just cry it out!! ahhh! this can be so complicated! i remember when he was first born and lorenzo and i would often times want to wake him up to play with him... how i wish i could turn back time a little bit... cant help but feel like im doing something wrong and thats why hes not getting the rest we BOTH need him too.. i honestly think im gunna pull out my hair.. is it ok if i give him a sleeping aid.... like Tylenol pm.... well this is a little more drastic maybe i should go straight to the ambien!!! im just waiting for the day when lorenzo comes home and im curled up in the fetal position hiding in my closet rocking back and forth while hugging my legs and humming to myself.. i truly night go mad!!




pray for me!

    Funny, I remember my mom hiding from us in the closet. But she was sitting quietly trying not to be found. Ryan did the whole 30 minute nap thing for a long time. It wasn't enough time to get anything done! He took a few a day for a while too. Now we are down to one long nap a day. Good luck with it. You aren't doing anything wrong. All you need to do is make sure that you are tougher than Lorenzo. Then he will be the one that goes to get him in the night!! It works for me!!

"Dress to Impress" Does it Make a Difference?

Image
There are few things in life as stressful as that moment, standing in front of your mirror, a dozen outfits strewn about your room and realizing you don't have a thing to wear. Whether it is for a first date, a job interview, or a first day at school, putting extra thought into what you wear is inevitable. But does it really make a difference? Could the clothing you wear have any effect on the outcome of the event?  Obviously no one would want to wear a cocktail dress to work out in or wear their pajamas to the first day of school (though that latter one is becoming increasingly more plausible). But does the clothing you wear really make an impression on those you come in contact with and could it aide in you making an impression for that matter.  According to Hajo Adam and Adam D. Galinsky, social psychologist, there is a systematic influence that clothing has on the wearer's psychological processes which they have labeled "enclothed cognition". Say-what-ta-huh? Basi...

Define siblings

Oh bless their hearts! These two are either best friends or worst enimies. And it usually switches between the two in a matter of seconds, several times a day. But when they are playing nice they are like two peas in a pod. Korlen has his own special individual relationship with each of them, but the relationship they have with each other is just too fun! Recently Evelett has been obsessed with holding Tahlae's hand and she will follow him around holding her hand out for him saying "hand hand" he actually doesn't really like this but sometimes he relents to appease her and I LOVE when he does.  I mean how cute is that! They walk along and she will stop him to look at the bugs or dandelions or whatever which is perfect for him because he is THE BIGGEST slow poke I know being the epitome of stopping to smell the roses! Not a day goes by that he doesn't bring me the most random, simple thing like a rock or a leaf that he has found  to be a treasure. So because of thi...
