What was I thinking?

I am not a planner. Anybody that knows me at all knows this. I have always been a fly by the seat of your pants type gal. That doesn't work well when you have children. I had to learn the hard way on this. I never have had a set schedule, and since I have been staying home with the kids it has just gotten way worse. I was near insanity when I finally sat down and wrote down a schedule for the little turds that I call my children. What a huge difference it has made. Blaze has napped 2 out of the last four days. A huge improvement from the 0 naps he has taken in the last few months. I can't even remember the last time he took a nap before now. I don't yell as much and the kids aren't in as much trouble. Granted it is a lot more work, but work well worth the outcome. It works out well because now I can spend some one on one time with Blaze. Kaia takes a 2 hour nap in the mornings and Jercie is in school, so me and Blaze get to hang out. He is such an awesome, smart little boy. I often forget that he is only 3. I'm so glad I FINALLY pulled my head out!!

In other news, I moved Kaia into her room. She was ready, I was not. She spent her first night in there last night and did really well. She slept all night until about 8:00 this morning. I will miss sneaking her into bed with me in the mornings.

  2. I'm a scheduler too - we'll see how I do when number three comes along. Way to go for Kaia sleepin' good in her new room - Jercie didn't bother her?

  3. Good for you! I'm not much of a schedule type of person, either, but I know when you do things go more smoothly. Mostly.
