Good morning,
As you have read I have been having problems with my daughter and sleeping, well last night I thought I had finally caught a break. I throw darts on a league Monday nights, last night I didn't have a sitter so my wonderful dad watched Bella so I could play. I sent him frequent texts to make sure she was doing ok and to make sure he was doing ok as well.
About 9pm he put her to sleep so I figured by the time I got home (around 10:30) she would be awake and fighting sleep. I was in luck my princess slept until 2am!!!!!!!!! Before we all get excited the next few hours were terrible. She was up at 2,3,4 and than ready to go for the day at about 730! I wish I had her energy!
But I guess I should look at the positive, we are making progress. Now if I could just get her to sleep the WHOLE night...
So excited my husband gets to come home! Only for 1 day than it's back to Iowa for more work but reguardless I get to see him and Im supper excited about that. My wonderful mom is going to watch Bella for us tomorrow night so we can actually go on a date (something we haven't been able to do since we moved to Sioux Falls.) I just hope the weather holds out for him to actually get here. It's been snowing now for 3 days... UGH I hate snow. Whose dumb idea was it to move to South Dakota... Oh yeah mine! :(
Have a great day!
God Bless

If there is a 50-50 chance of something going right, the probability is 90 percent that it wont!
Hello Everyone!
I had an awesome Sunday with my family. My DM got up with my daughter this morning and took her to Michaels with her, to try and let me sleep. Of course I couldn't, but I got up and helped clean up the house a bit. Then I made a lunch date with a dear friend and started getting ready. As I was about to leave the house my DM offered to keep princess Bella for me. So off I went in a snow storm to meet my friend for lunch.
On my way home my anti-lock brakes kicked in and I almost went through an intersection, at the same time a Semi went by. Talk about a mild heart attack. When I finally did make it home I had the pleasure of a sleeping child so I got to spend some quaility time with my mom. I helped her make her first card of her "Festive Friday Blog Hop" (check out her page for details.)
Then Bella woke up and we all hung out in the basement to watch some Playoff football. After many hours of playing (and fighting with Bella) it was time for her to go to bed. Or so I thought.
Bedtime for my daughter is always a 50-50 shot on if it will work or not. She is very stubborn and doesn't have a regular sleep pattern. Hence where my title comes from. It didn't work. So we let her get up and play for an hour and tried bedtime again. Then I got to listen to her scream at the top of her lungs for 15minutes. It breaks my heart when she does that. But finally at 10:30 she is now asleep. Hopefully for the night (haha that was funny) So if anyone has suggestions on how to get my DD to sleep I'm up for any ideas. Well now it's time for me to get as much sleep as possible before I begin this battle again.
Good Night All
God Bless

The first......of many?
So I have watched my mom post blog after blog after blog in the past few months and finally I decided it was time to start my own blog. I suppose to should introduce myself and my crazy family. Im a mother of two wonderful children. My daughter just turned 1 on December 31st, and my step-son will be 4 March 23rd. I got married this past June to my bestfriend! He is for sure my rock without him i dont know where I would be right now. We were living in Colorado for the past three years, but this past November we moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and have been living with my parents, and as much as I love them it's been crazy with 7 people living in a 4 bedroom house (really only 3 because of my mothers fasination with crafting she must have her own room.) My husband is working for DirectTv and Im staying home with Bella. My life is Crazy and everyday is an adventure. I hope you enjoy the ride
Have a great day and God Bless
