The sleep study is over and that’s one more thing we can check off the big ol “To Do” list. I feel like it was last night…I’m wiped out!

It was nice to spend some time with Carlos, he slept better that night than he has in a long time, go figure. I thought I would stay up late and watch a grown-up movie but he was restless so I just rested with him and then watched a little tv before dozing off. The hard part about a sleep study is that they are coming in every so often to do something, reattach wires, add more wires, put him on his back, etc, etc. So just as I would get to sleep the tech guy would come in and I’d be awake again. Let me tell you, after that night the 5:45am wake up call came early. We went out for a nice breakfast and got back home. I really missed Dee, Levi and Trey…even in that short overnight period of time.

We’re trying to get our house in order so it looks like a total bomb went off. The end result should be much more functional so then I’ll be happy but I’m NOT good with the mess that is our house right now. Time to zero in on one project at a time and get things done, otherwise it’s overwhelming.

Carlos got a rude awakening today…he was acting out (you’re shocked, I know!) and I told him that if he didn’t pull it together he would go to Carolyn’s. She’s a no b.s. kind of gal and doesn’t put up with his garbage. Truth is, he really does like her but the bottom line is that he wants to be with mama, no matter what. So he was acting up this morning and I put him in the Naughty Spot and he actually had the nerve to come out of the Naughty Spot and stomp my foot. Bad move, dude. I called Carolyn and he is over there now for some attitude readjustment time. I think it’ll help. I hated to leave him so upset but he did it to himself. I called over there and he’s steaming mad, hasn’t gotten up off the couch the whole time he’s been there.

Parenting advice from a novice parent….ya gotta follow through, it really does pay off!

Found these fun shots of the boys to share….sometimes they really do just love eachother (and then someone goes and pinches or hits and then it’s war).
