Been a while since I have been on here... Christmas came and went. I am not a big holiday person. I hate the stress of it all, the crowds, the pressure, the getting together with people you don't like and who really don't like you. But I always make an effort for my kids. They were excited this year, I guess because they are getting older. They were excited to open presents, and that made me happy. The day was long though. But I am glad they enjoyed themselves.
Now it is back to school and regular life. Landon started his Tomatis this week. And it has been a really long week. He wasn't thrilled about doing it, which I figured he wouldn't. He is having wear headphones with things playing in them. He is really trying though. He always keeps them on, no matter how irritated he becomes. It is so daunting. We have to do this every day for 3 weeks, 2 hours a day, 3 of those days Halle is with me and she is so bored. It is too far to drive back home, or go anywhere really. So we are stuck there. I actually enjoy the quiet time when she is at school and I go alone. I bring a book and my IPOD and zone out. By the time I get there on those days, I need it! I have to do so much running around all before then. I still take him to school for an hour or so, so I have to get them up and take him, come home and get her, take her to school, come home and get ready, go get him and drive there, then drive and pick her up and go home.
Their schedule is all out of wack. I am having to get them up earlier so he can get to school earlier, and they hate it. He is so tired when he comes home and I let them nap, but he doesn't want to get up from that. By the time he is fully awake more time has gone by and then he doesn't want to sleep at night, Halle too. Then they are tired when they wake up in the morning and it starts all over again. That and they both have nagging coughs, Halle's especially has been keeping her up. Last night she didn't fall asleep till midnight, and had to get up at 7:45. She was not happy. I guess it is left over from their last cold, but I don't know what to do for it. Hopefully he will pass and their sleeping will straighten out. Today they woke up at a decent time, so they should be ready for bed tonight. I know I am!
I am so tired. I can't catch up on sleep for the life of me... even when I am dead tired when I go to bed I can't fall asleep. Then night before last it was really windy and the power went off. Landon can't sleep without his fan on, so he was up till 1. He wouldn't sleep in my bed because Halle was snoring, so we had to sleep in his bed. I could not get comfortable to save my life. Then he was up by like 7:30... We had to go everything in the dark and I had to leave with wet hair in the cold. I was really pissy that day! But I am doing better today. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I need a break from all the madness and I think Landon does too.
I feel guilty taking him from his class, I know he is going to be missing a lot of fun things. I hope this works, and I haven't made the wrong decision. I think that is one of the things keeping me up at night. I know I would regret it if I didn't try, so I try not to feel too bad about it. Everyone I have ever talk to swears it has helped their child in some way. We will see I guess.
