Just a Quick Hello

I’m probably not going to write a lot tonight. It’s already 1:40 in the morning and I’m tired; I also think I’m getting a cold. My throat is a little scratchy and my nose is clogged. Blech!! I don’t really have much to say anyway, I didn’t do anything today. I got my resume in order and am working on a cover letter that I’ll be able to send to the local attorneys; and I did laundry. That’s, pretty much, it for the day. I spent the evening watching Vin Diesel movies with Sonny; we were picking them apart and laughing at them. That was pretty fun.

The kids were sent to bed early because they didn’t keep the deal we made last night about bed time. After dinner they all got showers and were put into bedroom time. Zach fell asleep right away, Ty stayed in his room like he’s supposed to, but Dolly was a royal butt cramp tonight. She had a nap this afternoon so I knew she wouldn’t go to sleep right away but she didn’t actually fall asleep until after midnight, when I came up to bed. She was still up and playing when I got in here, and that’s after she was in and out of the bedroom half a dozen times. No more naps for little missy.

I’m also thinking Love and Logic needs to be stepped up a bit. I’m not at all happy with the way the kids are taking advantage of their choices so something needs to be done. My energy is draining out of me with every bad choice they make. I just may have to make them aware of that so they can replenish my energy to do the things they want to do. Zach’s attitude is getting worse by the day so I may have to think of something a bit stronger for him. I’ll let you know what that is once I’ve visited the L&L website to get some more suggestions. It’s not like I don’t know them all already; I’ve only been studying and implementing it for over four years now. It’s just that I can’t really remember all of the techniques right now and can’t find my workbook. I’ll check the file cabinets tomorrow and hope I get lucky. Otherwise, I’ll go to the website.

I’m going to bed, now, though. I just wanted to check in and let you all know I didn’t forget about you. Had Dolly gone to sleep when she should have, I would have been here earlier and might have had more to say. As it is, I’m tired and feeling oogy so I’ll call it a night. I’m hoping this cold is a mild one. Fingers crossed for that too, please and thanks.

Until next time…peace to all.
