Catch Up

I'm just going to get right to the point. I'm tired. I'm so tired. Cheyenne and Hailey have drained every ounce of energy out of me lately. Mostly Cheyenne because the child has the worst case of terrible two's ever! One day she can be just as sweet and good and the next all hell breaks loose! I'm getting pretty discouraged actually. I've tried ever form of discipline. Distraction, time out, popping her butt as a last resort-but nothing has worked. But I've sought out advice and the consensus is to just keep at it and eventually it will click with her. Just don't give in. I just hope I can outlast her!

But on a good note she is getting so smart. Her manners are wonderful, (most of the time) and it just amazes me to have a conversation with her. She knows things I didn't even know she knew! She starts back to preschool after Labor day and I'm soooo looking forward to it. She needs that outlet, (and mommy needs a break!) Hailey is signed up for mother's morning out, but I'm having 2nd thoughts about it. I think I may try to get Hailey to just 1 day a week and wait until after Christmas to put her in the 2 day program. I'm going to see how she does the first couple of days and go from there. We'll see!

We are supposed to leave for the beach next Thursday and stay until Monday. I have been watching the weather and it looks as though there's a hurricane headed our way that should be hitting the coast the time we're down there. Wonderful. We've waited all summer for our vacation and it looks as though it's going to be ruined. I'm going to pray that it dissipates or goes back out to sea-otherwise thats alot of money, just down the drain. Until next time!
