Day 16

The last few days have been hard, even with grandma here. without her i would have been an absolute mess!

Problems:

Owen is hard for me to handle today.

He gets hyper and crazy around 7:30, when my energy is at the tail end.

Penny is hard for me to handle today

She seriously screamed at me anytime she wanted/needed something.

Solutions:

Learn how to communicate better with Owen.

Identify trouble spots or times and find good solutions.

let him be on the computer. at 8 tonight, he did math fact and some other stuff. it was heaven for the both of us.

Remember he is a son of God.

I miss Doug. it has been raining crazy hard for 3 days straight. not used to this kind of weather even though it's a nice break.

i'm still fat. my middle, spare tire / muffin top is not shrinking on its own. It's going to be so hard to get rid of. funny thing. i just ate a muffin. one of grandma's banana chocolate chip 'fuffins.' i'd probably get rid of it sooner if i stopped eating stuff like that. oh and about 6 chocolate mints that doug got for his birthday from Grandma O.

Have been reading scriptures 2 nights in a row. love doing it with grandma. she's reminding me what it's supposed to be like. read a few verses, discuss just briefly and go on. I'm glad she's here to help us start to make it a habit.

penny is crying in her crib. i put her down at 7:15 cuz she was crazy and acting so tired. she talked and played in her crib. and then finally started crying after about 1hr 30 minutes. i finally let her out and then put her down again 10 minutes ago. she's never going to sleep tonight. what the heck is going on????
