Spent my morning watching Ed on the Today Show. Ahhhh, I'm pumped for next weeks show. I know tgrimes was gonna ask so I went ahead and took a photo of his pre-show interview with Matt Lauer. You're welcome girl.  Also, my day went to shit when I went to the bank and discovered that some asshole has made a $1,000 transfer to PayPal. Wtf? So now I have to go through the whole fraud process before I get to see that money again. Edit lauer |

^^ except I can't let her really CIO too much because room sharing. Grrrrr, it wasn't suppose to be this hard! Have you tried CIO? Does your eldest actually wake up? Not all will and if they do I do it some of the time. And he does surprise me by not waking up. But I don't usually let her get to a point of hysteria. I could probably push it some more and see what happens. Worst case, both kids are awake and we get no sleep that night. Not the worst thing in the world (and no, I am not being sarcastic) |

Not the worst thing in the world (and no, I am not being sarcastic) Gotcha, makes sense to me. My kids don't share a room but a wall and I have some of the same struggles mentally with CIO. I do let him CIO but the hysteria is difficult. Good luck figuring it out! Sleep struggles suuuuck. |

That sucks about the money kleigh. I hope it gets resolved quickly. Not the same thing because it wasn't fraud, but one time MH and I went into the bank to make a deposit, as we were leaving we looked at the receipt and noticed an extra 5k in our account. We went back in and the teller said it looked like someone deposited the money into the wrong account - either the customer wrote his account number down incorrectly, or the teller messed it up - but he reversed it. Then about a week later the "back office" of the bank caught the mistake and reversed it again. Except we were 22 and didn't have 5k in our account, so it put us in the negative which caused our rent check to bounce. We got it all worked out, but it was a pain in the ass. |

flamingo You were saying the other day that C was waking up almost every hour for a few nights, what did you do when she woke up? Did you go in? Nurse? Bottle? Pat bum? J is back to waking 3 times a night and I'm not ok with it, I'm scared to go in because nothing soothes her except nursing and that seems counter productive to my end goal. So last night because I didn't have a plan when I went in, I just didn't. I let her cry, about 8-10 min and then she was back down. But it happened a lot. HELP!? I think you're on the right track. Since the kids were sharing a room up there I didn't want to just let her wail, so I also got into the nursing/rocking routine and it was the pits. I went back to CIO when we got home from Maine and that seemed to do the trick (go in once to pat her back, and just say 'it's nighttime, go to sleep, C'. Then I leave.) One or two nights of CIO at home and she's been back on track since. Fortunately she usually settles down in less than 5 min. |

I'm going to dinner with a friend tonight. She said she could come over to our house so MH didn't have to do bedtime alone. I was planning on doing that until MH started pissing me off by criticizing my parenting of M. Okay then, buddy. Good luck with putting both kids to bed.  |

Doing bedtime solo is some sort of fresh hell. You made the right decision. Have fun tonight. Drink lots of wine! |

jubilantsquirrel What a pain!!! Yes and in college it's like I never even had $5 cash to my name, just the $7.62 left in my acct until pay day... so I would've probably starved unfortunately.

kleigh I totally missed your tag earlier, sorry lady. J has two teeth on the bottom, she is chewing like crazy but she always is. I don't really like to use teething as a reason for everything/anything either because it kind of is always happening. IDK maybe a late day UO🤷♀️. Anywho, at naptime I used the talk function on the monitor and she went back down, then tonight she's been up once and I shhhhhhd her and it took maybe 3 minutes and she was out again.#liveblog I hope she sleeps, I'm so tired. Yet here I am.
