Now if walking all over creation in Chicago didn't make me hurt and tired, the flooring today did. Gah, I forgot how much it hurts to continuously bend and stoop and cut and curse. It looks awesome though, and it's ready to have the new w/d put on it. Which I ordered today, further sucking me into debt oblivion. But if all the stars align properly this week, the house will be move-in ready (meaning not totally done, but everything done required to actually live there) by Saturday. Ian did not do diapers the whole trip to Chicago, including nighttime. No accidents. I am not saying I'm out of the running for one of Kari's surprises, but I cannot tell you how incredibly happy that makes me.

Yay for Ian!

And yay for moving day!!!

Being a slug in bed this morning. Need to get a move on and get up and at'em.

Should be a pretty regular day at school.

Well that didn't go well. Every morning i have to yell at jack to get ready fro school because he is playing with legos. Well i threatened a few times more than i should then i took away legos after school. Needless to say he went to school a crying mess. I know i needed to do it i have been threatening for awhile but it sucks. I hope he has a good day at school...he went on the bus crying and i am having major guilt

It's hard but we have to do it...they have to learn rules and that actions have consequences.

I hate doing it too.

[jacksmommy1]

that is why i kept telling him. I can't ask 15x per morning every morning that is is time to brush your teeth please put down the legos I am going to feel guilty all day. And he didn't eat his breakfast. Ugh i hope he doesn't melt down today. i wish i could go join him for lunch but bobs not home

Sadly that's one of those things that take forever....IDK if it ever goes in really. I do the same thing with my 4 every morning.

Can you stay with him the entire time until he's ready? Keep him by your side and tell him step for step what he needs to do next? Do you have time for that? Thing should go smoother if you can. It takes longer but should work.

I have to do that. I stay with them until the have everything done because they hurt each other and destroy things if I dont. It takes a while for their meds to work and they cant be alone even for a minute until their meds work.
