Day 16 ----Naps

I have been getting on a good night six hours of sleep but it is interrupted on a bad night it is closer to four.  Luke has decided sleeping is something that he longer wants to do at night.  He goes down fine but then at 2 is awake and then things a few hours of being held is ideal and then he will fall back asleep around 4-430.  I have been on the verge of a mental breakdown for the past couple of weeks.  There is other reasons for this besides just lack of sleep but that is making it worse.  Today after my mom's group both boys crashed at the same time and I got a 2.5 hours nap.  It was great.  The only reason I finally got out of bed was because I heard "mom" "mom"  "mooooom" coming from Andrew's crib.  I really could have slept another hour or more.  But I will take what I can get and it was fabulous.  Naps are great.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness.

The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
