So! Today!! Last night Millie went to bed about 9:30 and only got me up 3 times between then and 8am. :D She was sleeping for four hour stretches .... oh MUCH better than the two or even one and a half I had been getting!!! I was so thrilled!!! Today I continued with trying to get her to nap... the stinker seems to fight sleep even though she is obviously tired!! I found a great blog ( Troublesome Tots ) and whilst I don't agree with everything they espouse, I certainly have seen wonderful results by following a lot of their advice!! Of course this DID involve me leaning over the crib this afternoon nursing her as she lay in her bed. Tsk. Don't tell anybody, 'K? :D
Anyway, I got more sleep, therefore I was a much happier, laid back, relaxed homeschooling Mama, right??!! (pause for laughter...... ... ... OK... that's enough laughter!!) yeah.... No. Not so much. I tend to go through these panic stages every now and then about homeschooling ( about every 28 days as it happens.... ahem.... ) and I suddenly worry that the kids aren't learning enough, not learning the "right things" and their lives are going to fall apart and it will be All My Fault... etc etc... cue ranting, running around telling the kids they HAVE to learn stuff NOW... eating all the chocolate and bread in the house and then calling hubby in a state! I think he's grown used to this as he knows just what to say "Don't worry so much, they are fine, watch some Frasier and relax" and he knows just what to do "I've hidden some chocolate in the truck in the garage, I'll make dinner when I come home" !! Do I have a great hubby or what?!!?
I'm still on my purging the house kick.... I cleared out more drawers in my room this morning, can you believe my baby has already outgrown stuff?? I also cleared a couple more things out of the pantry and started cleaning out the junk closet in the entry way. I say started... I'd pulled everything out when hubby got home... seemed the quickest way to clean up the mess was simply to shove it all back in again!! I did get a lot of it sorted and thrown out but there's still some to do tomorrow!
In the kitchen for Flylady this week... I haven't done all the missions yet.. I will probably do them all at once on Friday like I did last week but I decided to clear off the fridge.... Here's what it looked like before....

| All cluttered and crazy.....! |
 |
| All clean....!!!...... but perhaps TOO clean?!!? |
And then I panicked!! Maybe that was TOO clean?!?! Hubby thought it looked like we had just moved in!!! :D We've had magnets and stuff on there for YEARS...!! Hmm......
 |
| Ah.... that's better!!! |
Well once again the kids are asleep... Jessie just came down to tell us goodnight and the other two have been snoozing for a while now. Here's hoping for some long stretches of sleep tonight and a slightly less Harried Mama in the morning!! Hey, there's always hope!! :D
