The Best Laid Plans...

I'd no sooner laid my head on the pillow last night at 10:30 than Stacia woke up. She doesn't want to sleep in bed with me, she doesn't want to sleep, she wants to sit in a recliner or here at the computer....I would put her in the crib but that is no longer a safe option since she climbs out....and crashes.

I've realized this a.m. (2:30) that it must be the fabled mother's curse. ::snort:: My Mom tells stories of how she had to sleep with me in the rocker and what a terrible teether and ill child I was....and now I have one. It took nine...but I finally have a child as awful at teething as I was....of course MOM was 20 when she dealt with me...and I'm 40 something.....can't quite remember any longer...43?

Ah well - she IS getting better...sleep well come again...maybe still this a.m. LOL

I'm glad Stacia is getting better. I hope all those teeth pop through and you get some sleep! I was lolol when you couldn't quite remember you age :)

You are so right...what a difference it made for me having Bessie as a baby at 32 and Gabe at 39 and now...46 with these little ones. I am so tired!

Hope Stacia feels better soon and starts sleeping for you.

Hey Girl,
I thought we were the same age!
I'm not 43...yet...or am I?
Nope, born in an even year, so I'm an even age...hooray!
Don't age us before our time, Please! LOL

De'Etta,
Is it possible Stacia has a mild form of acid reflux and that's why she doesn't want to lie down to sleep? I guess if she naps fine that theory is irrelevant. Just thinking out loud I guess.

You know Evie was my never sleeper-horrible teether. She wasn't a happy camper until 18 months. I'll pray that her teeth come in soon and that she'll sleep better tonight. I really understand where you're at, it's soooo hard when they never give you a break. Praying, praying...

Ok Darshia - it's possible I'm not 43....I guess I'm 42 until January. LOL I can never remember how old I am. I once went a whole hear telling folks I was 47.

You know you're tired when you forget how old you are!

I did that too. Oh, wait a minute. That was the year I WAS 47.

Re Stacia and sleeping in a chair. I remember doing that through all the ear infections. Praying you get some rest soon.
