Saturday

Ugh… I have an almost 5 y/o that is refusing naps most days and it’s making me crazy!  LOL She really does still need them.  She gets soooooo cranky by around 6pm on the days that she hasn’t taken one.  I was planning to wean her off of naps over the summer anyway, but for now she does still need them. 
Day to day life here has been pretty normal.  School is almost finished for the summer.  I’ve been working on trying to get new daycare kiddos.  I think I have my “fill” for the summer almost.  That will be nice because it has been SO hard to make ends meet.  I was just telling a friend that it would be nice to be able to fundraise to help meet our day to day needs now that we’re home.  LOL   It’s not that we are destitute, but since losing my daycare kids while I was gone, it has been very difficult.  I didn’t even think of that as being something that could happen.  I thought I’d come home and all would go back to “normal” with things just adding Timothy to the mix.   It’s been hard.  I know God will provide, and I do not doubt that, I’m human, I worry. 
Today I went over and mowed Mom’s yard.  It is such a beautiful day, nice breeze, sun is shining, so working outside was nice.  Although, I do need to figure out how to mow without getting the grass in places that it shouldn’t be. Hehe
Later…
Well, laundry is done, house is decluttered (gonna clean a little better tomorrow hehe), baths given, kids in bed.  We’ve been DVRing the “Oprah” show, so John and I are watching one of them. 
Tomorrow is going to be a busy one.  Church, Olivia’s dance photos, her BFF’s 4th Birthday party… good stuff!

  1. You need a tent on his crib! :-) I know his type. Stas will climb right out otherwise. He needs them too. And he sleeps if he can't get out.....No, I don't feel like I am trapping him. He NEEDS his nap, it is best for him.

  2. I'm 22 and I still nap as much as possible!!!!! Tell that cutie pie to get her butt in bed while it's still socially acceptable.

  3. Ha, I can sympathize - my almost 5 year old is pretty much off naps, too, but there is always that tough period mid-day when she's extra-cranky.  Then she just gets silly.  LOL  Good luck with the nap-weaning!!
