Congrats, Kristin!!!
could it be night terrors?
My little sister used to get night terrors when she was about 2 or 3. She'd look like she was awake, but she wasn't really. Her eyes were huge and glassy and she'd scream like she was being tortured by Angelus. She'd run around the house until she could find something to hide under (usually a table) and continue screaming. My mom would grab her and hold her and rock her, but her whole body was stiff and she would continue screaming. It would last a good hour or so until she settled back into sleep. My mom said it was the most terrifying thing ever to watch and not be able to help her.
My daughter had some night terrors about that age as well. Not quite as dramatic, but nothing helped to calm her down as well.
When feeling bored and listless and wishing I could hide somewhere, I put on Flogging Molly and rock out to pipes and guitars of "Kings of the Kilburn High", and the world is a happier place.
Whirlpool donates new appliances to every Habitat for Humanity home, which makes me want to buy all new appliances from them, even though I can't afford them.
Amy, the pede told us to put soft toys in Aidan's bed and let him figure out that we just weren't coming until morning. It worked. Eventually.
That's pretty much all I've got. Timelies.
~ma to everyone, and hugs to dear Trudes and Kristin.
I'm waiting to get my car jumped (for the 3rd time this week) so that I can take it to be repaired (for the 2nd time this week). Fuck Pep Boys. There, I said it.
No, it's definitely not right. FTR, I'm not taking it to Pep Boys this time, or, like, ever again. Cause they suck. And I hate them.
What did Pep Boys fix (or not fix as the case may be)?
Nooora!
So ain't right. We used to buy parts at Pep Boys, back when I lived in a town that had one. I've never gotten repairs done there.
Good luck to Kristin, and much ~ma for Trudy. That situation sounds like a terrible place to be.
