The Good and The Not So Good Updates

Posted by Amanda | On: Sep 12 2006

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.
