Thursday

This morning when my alarm went off, it gave me a little hope....I have one more day of getting up early, and then the much needed weekend will be here. Yay!
My good mood was quickly crashed when the kids came in the worst moods ever. I'm still bitter on the favor drama last Friday/weekend, and getting fed up with how some people feel is ok to parent. I'm in no ways a perfect parent, but a few things I believe is that a child needs appropriate sleep, and appropriate discipline when they are being totally out of line. Bad behavior should not be ignored just because you don't feel like dealing with it and stressing yourself out before work. And walking away from it is not a good thing either. When you choose to be a parent, you are in it for the good days and the bad. Some days your kid is going to be upset with you. It's part of the title.
So because of attitude, it's an early nap time today. Or back to bed. Whatever you decide to call it. Clearly she is majorly sleep deprived.

But enough on that. Yesterday was my day off, and I went to the school for the morning. I am going to be helping make the yearbook, and I took the time to talk to the guidance councilor while in there. Kristopher's been acting moody and mean at home lately again, and I wanted to see if she had any advice. Plus, I have been really wanting to talk to someone about the night terrors. Which still happen from time to time. Something is bothering him and he won't say, so she is going to try to talk to him and see what's up.
She also said that he is one that really worries. If there is a schedule change, he needs to know why, what is going to happen instead, when things are made up, etc. It throws him off. Yesterday was a delay. He was exceptionally nuts yesterday morning. He was worried we would be late. He was upset he was missing his special class, and reading class. He was worried they might close school. He ended up having his warning light on at school because he just wasn't in his normal good mood and attitude for being there. I'm hoping for a better day today...

Another Kristopher thing is the other day the baby discovered that Kristopher is a pretty cool kid. He attacks when we get home, and loves to go hug him, and hang at him. He thinks it's hilarious when Kristopher holds him. During one of the hugs, Kristopher says "awww he really loves me! This means I'm really a big brother now doesn't it?" I had to explain that it's not quite that easy, and that he is not a big brother...But it's very nice that he is so nice to the baby and that he loves him like that too. So we settled on he can call them his cousins, and he can be the cool big cousin instead. He's good with that. (I'm aunt michelle anyway in their world) Makes me sad though that he's still thinking on that too....
I guess back to bed is over....Lets hope for better attitude...
