The Good and The Not So Good Updates
Project "Sleep In Your Own Bed" that I discussed here previously went surprisingly quite well. I only had to get up one time during the night because my oldest needed a cup of water. After that I could tell he wanted me to lay back down with him so I did for about an hour then went back to my bed. Our 2 year old slept through the entire night without moving. They both woke up around 8:30 this morning and our 5 year happily announced that he would be sleeping on his own again tonight. This is going great. I'm very surprised at how well it's going. I'm just thinking that since things are going so pefectly that something will go wrong. Or, maybe, since I waited till they were older to sleep on their own that the transition is actually easier on them. I hope its the latter.
On another note, I think I'm doing better with this whole turning 30 ordeal/past quarter life crisis thingy. LOL. But I can tell I am increasinly concerned about my skincare and bodily care routine. I only wished I had been this way when I was younger. I admit I am somewhat possibly overly concerned about wrinkles around my eyes. I've been scouring the web, stores, and magazines for the perfect line -plumper-wrinkle-reducer-preventer-skin-lightener without plastic surgery miracle eye cream. Anyone know of any kind that works? I've looked at the 1oz containers of what I call miracle eye cream from Avon, L'oreal, Clinique and Oil of Olay. Does anyone swear by these products? Do they work? Am I wasting my money?
Additionally, I'm tired and busy as of late. I'm behind and can't seem to catch up. Two weekends of traveling with my husband to different college football games has gotten to me. We tooks the kids to one of them but not the other. I wasn't about to spend $20+ dollars per ticket for the kids to have tantrums in a 50,000+ crowd.
Either way I'm burnt out on going. The hubs can't quite understand why. I think I can handle one or two more games scattered throughout football season but I'd prefer the hubs to sit on his butt and look at the tv for the remainder of the season that just began.
Our 5.5 year old son also started Fall soccer up again. He is having so much fun and doing very well. We are delighted! At first he was hesitant to get involved with the other kids but he's doing great now.
Ok. Enough updates. I've wrote enough to confuse everyone.

Great news on your "sleep in your own bed" project. I'm glad it's going well. I hope it goes as well for us when the time comes.
I don't have any miracle eye cream I use, but I do have a product I swear by: the Clean & Clear Under Eye Brightening Stick. It reduces dark circles and under eye puffiness. Not really any help for preventing wrinkles, but it works wonders when you're looking tired.
Wow, that was smooth. Hope it continues, though ;) I use Clinique's "Repairwear" for my eyes but can't say I swear by it. The fact that I'm using something to prevent/minimize the signs of aging is a consolation by itself. Lol.
I don't do the whole eye cream thing. I have little crow's feet starting and my hair is graying but I just can't see spending the money on such vain things. Especially since most of the junk dosen't even work.
I so adore that you let your kid's timetable and needs dictate when and what happened, rather than anything else.
As for wrinkles and such .. At the moment the hormonal pimples are my biggest fight. After pregnancy ... Wise women are aged.
Wow, you did cover many topics there. I know what you mean about the sleeping situation, when anything goes over that easily, I tend to think we're in for it later. But hopefully not.
I have many eye-wrinkles (age 36) but am too lazy to do anything about them. ;^)
LOL. Yeah, I did cover alot. I was scatterbrained last night.
