I’ve been fighting with both kids for 90 minutes to go to bed. They wouldn’t go to sleep.
Carson wanted to sleep in Mallory’s room and I said fine until Rick and I saw them in her window watching us in the backyard.
There have been numerous “I hafta go to the bathrooms” and “I’m out of water!”.
I am exhausted myself. I was ready for bed at 8p so after the first 30 minutes of fighting with them, I gave up and went to bed. I got Carson (who was still crying because I kicked him out of “Malsy’s” room) and tried to cuddle him and rock him but he wouldn’t settle down. I went down the hall to check on Mallory and she looked passed out so I took the book off of her face and got back in bed with Carson.
Next thing you know Mallory is in my room mad that Carson gets to sleep in my bed and why does he get to be next to me.
Remember that when I’m tired – I’m grumpier than two kids combined. I just wanted to go to bed!!!
Finally told Carson he was being sent back to his bed again and finally Mallory fell asleep (after a drink of water). Then Carson yells again that he needs to go potty so off he goes to his bathroom. After way too much time, I go check on him. He’s talking to the Hello Kitty soap and not washing his hands.
I told him to hurry up because I am sooo tired.
His response? “well then go to bed!”
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!
