One bad night!

Last night Jade did a first. She got up at 3 am for the day. First she couldn't lay down "mommy I can't". Then she missed Ryan. Ryan is in Houston for meetings. So I will admit that I DID call Ryan at 4 am. If I can't sleep I think it is only fair that I wake him up. He was nice about it too. I think he liked the fact that Jade missed him. Then she was hungry. Then she saw shadows. She wanted me to "get them". That is the first time she has been scared of anything. So we finally got up at 4:30 and ate peanut butter sandwiches. Yeah! I gave up and turned on the TV. She fell back to sleep around 7am. Needless to say I was a hour and half late for work. I would love to be a stay at home mom. I would love the fact I wouldn't have to get out of my sweats on a day like today. But for now we just go one day at a time.

My heart goes out to you because I know exactly what you are going through. I did that for four years and it's tough. Hang in there. Jade loves you for each and every sacrifice you make for her.

I worked through my first two kids also! Hopefully Jade had a better night last night. I am glad that you called Ryan!

I wish for you that she will figure out the night time stuff- and fast! (especially if you are up for other reasons ;)I think that's why the nights are wearing me out - my kids NEVER get up in the middle of the night. Nothing beats a good nights sleep!
