1. Last night (well actually, this morning) I woke up from a dream about food storage and I couldn't go back to sleep for a while. I contemplated just getting up and cleaning or watching the Bachelorette on Hulu, decided against it, and got a little more sleep. This has happened to me a few times in the past few weeks, where I guess I'm not really sleeping soundly because my mind is racing about things that need to get done. A few weeks ago, it was about our yard needing to be mowed. Drives me crazy!
2. My toddler has decided that he doesn't want to lay in his bed anymore for nap time. He knows how to open his bedroom door and comes happily skipping back into the living room when we put him down. This has also started occurring at bed time. He is a little too cute sometimes to be fussed at but it is driving me crazy. I am not ready for him to give up on day time naps. This cannot happen. Is is cruel to put one of those child-proof door knobs on the inside of his bedroom door so he can't open it and get out? I always check on him before we go to bed and leave his door open a crack for the night so I wouldn't be locking him in...any suggestions, more experienced moms?!
3. I go back to work a week from today. I'm a little sad but I know it is only for 9 quick weeks ;) I've had a great summer with Drew. It has put things into perspective for me. I'd love to stay home with him, and the new baby after January. We're pretty sure I won't though. Saving money for a down payment on a house and getting rid of school debt might be worth 4 more months of me working. But what if we can't afford to buy a house and for me to quit next year? I'm wondering when we will be able to quit justifying it. At this point, it is up to Mike and I. I'm trying not to worry about outside influences or what other people think we should do. We've been praying about it really hard and will probably just see how the fall goes. We need our own place (and by no means would it be luxurious b/c our goal is to make sure we can afford it on 1 salary) and we need to get out of debt. These types of decisions are hard. I feel like it will just never happen.
4. The season finale of The Bachelorette is tonight! J.P. is my pick but they never on the history of the show has the bachelor or bachelorette chosen my favorite. And I know, I'm sad and pathetic for watching such trash but it is my one guilty pleasure.
5. Mike and I are addicted to Lost. We've been watching the seasons on Netflix. I have to say, it is frickin' driving me insane because there is all this crap happening and no one will reveal what is really going on. And to top it off, I've heard that the ending sucks and makes the whole show pointless which is just even more annoying. However, we can't help ourselves and for once, Mike is worse than I am. He can't stand not knowing what is going on so he'll watch episode after episode...its quite humorous, actually.
That's about all that's going on in my crazy brain these days. Lots, as you can see. I'm so interesting, right? I'm going to Beaumont with my mom and Drew tomorrow to spend some times in the pool with my aunt and cousins. It should be fun. One last shot at getting a tan this summer ;) Hope yall have a good week!

Wish I had some words of wisdom for you... unfortunately (or fortunately) I haven't had that problem (yet). Calyn and Logan still sleep for 3+ hours in the afternoons and all through the night. Calyn just stayed in her bed when we switched her over from the crib. Logan is still in a crib. We'll see what happens with that eventually. No matter how cute he is, I think you *might* have to fuss a little at him consistently. ???
i too am hoping for JP :) also i can't believe how big drew is getting!! he's just the cutest.
Adi-I think he is way too young phase out naps...he's just way too excited about life to want to take one! My vote is for the child proof lock on the inside! The other thing I suggest is to just keep putting him back to bed every single time he gets up with as little interaction as possible. He's getting up for attention and fun. DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM!! Just calmly put him back in bed...over and over and over and over. He'll get it eventually! Remember-no interaction: no talking, very little eye contact even...just business...he goes back to bed. Good luck with that:)
oh I can't stand waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep bc something random is on my mind! Drives me nuts too!
This is my first time watching the Bachelorette, and I never thought it would be so addicting! Glad JP won. They are super cute together. And I know how you feel about LOST. I was addicted to that one a few months ago. I had to watch every single episode... and I did. Hope it provides some good bonding time for you and Mike!
