Surgery~ma to your DH,Connie.
And if I could have some no-flu-yet~ma, please, I'd appreciate it. I'm starting to feel a bit feverish and wheezy, with intermittent coughing and headaches. I just don't have time for this until December. Let me get the flu around Christmas, that's fine. I have a massive project at work that I have to get done in November.
thanks for the mammories
Wow! That is a great attitude for such a hard time in life. Tons of ~ma for your friend, Glam (kind of fitting I used my new pink ribbon bag this morning).
, took her first shower since the surgery this morning!))
there is no better feeling than that first shower after surgery. Not only are you dealing with the aftermath of surgery, you feel all gross.
I have no advice for Hec and JZ. We totally caved on the sleeping-with-the-'rents front. While Frances usually sleeps by herself all night, Isaac crawls into our bed roughly 4 nights out of 5. And he's a lot of kid to have in bed.
When we were still in our 1 bedroom in LA we eventually put our bedroom in the living room because it was the only way any of us were going to get any decent type of sleep.
JZ - can you and Hec take the smaller room E is in and he and Matilda can share the other?

We're considering it as they get older, but we can't really subject Emmett to four hours of crying a night. It's not his job to put her back to sleep.
Maybe just make the living room a living bedroom (put your bed in one corner and use it as a couch/bed) and leave M and E in the actual bedrooms? I know it's not graceful or ideal, but it's what a lot of people did before we developed the idea that bedrooms should be separate from living spaces. It might be a way to at least be able to shut M's door at bedtime.
Not here, btw. Seeking momentary distraction because school is making me crazy.
Yeah, I have no successful kid sleeping advice. Frisco has always slept with us. Ellie sleeps with us about 97% of the time. I've considered working on getting Ellie to sleep on her own, but I know that once Joe deploys next year, she'll be back in bed with me, so, we're just living with it for now. Talk to me in 2011.
I tell you, I'm feeling like the Meanest Parent Ever. The sleeping in one's own bed thing was the one thing we were absolutely firm on.
My kids may not eat a lot of vegetables, but they slept in their own beds. I think I'll take that tradeoff.
Dylan's never slept in our bed except once or twice in hotels. When we've tried to calm him down by co-sleeping, he just winds up wanting to play.
