School is in the second week, and it's already starting. The morning struggle.
Now, I'm getting it from the one I least expected it, my 5 year old. I realize why, but geez Louise!
She refuses to go to sleep at night, it takes better than an hour and a half for me to get her to sleep. She just refuses to lay still, she's like her oldest brother.
I've tried everything. Stories, baths, yelling, threathening, starting earlier, wearing her out; everything! Nothing works. She's killing me. She's so grumpy when she gets home from school because she's tired, it's driving me around the bend.
Then getting to bed so late, you'd think she'd sleep in. NOPE! She's up before the alarm even goes off. Then it's a fight to get ready for school. "No. I don't want to."
So not only is bed time a nightmare, the morning's are too.
Short of Benedryl, I'm at a loss. My patience is waning and between all the activities and extras, I'm exhausted!
Children are a blessing!
