SuperNanny 911!

Last night I had a dream that the Supernanny herself came to my house and it wasn't for the kids!!! I was so irritated at John just coming home and plopping down on the couch with no regard as to how much I do during the day and the fact that I NEED a break. So supernanny came in my dreams to make him do all the things I do in a day for a whole week! Kind of like a wife swap but with no new wife! And she also made the kids a little friendlier while she was at it!

Now I feel like a Debbie Downer because I am focusing on negatives rather than ANYTHING else. I woke up this morning with both kids in my bed, Chelsea because she peed through her pull-ups and Garrett because that's all he ever does. I realized how unorganized and unscheduled I really am with both of them. That was one of my New Year's resolutions: To become more scheduled for my kids! I think it was like #3 or something. Before Garrett was even found out about we had things working pretty smoothly. Chelsea was sleeping in her own bed every night, getting up at the same times everyday, napping, playing, etc. All on a great schedule. She only got up once a night and I wasn't tired. Then we found out about Garrett - SURPRISE - and we still kept our schedule. Dr.'s say that you should make your new baby adhere to the schedule you already have set in place. It doesn't disrupt your other childrens behaviors and schedule and it allows your new baby to become part of the family giving them a set job to do. That is what I hear anyway. Well we still haven't broken Garrett of sleeping in our bed, another one of my resolutions, and now with both of them being so crazy young I just find myself longing for the day when Chelsea starts school and we can have a schedule that way.

Why I can't figure out what to do for my kids is beyond me. I have been good about implimenting nap time again for Chelsea although it doesn't seem to be making her any more calm like we thought it would. She still sleeps in her own bed but only for half the night because I can't keep both kids in her room while I put her back to sleep and can't count on John making sure Garrett doesn't roll off the bed.
~right now I heard Chelsea yell in frustration at Garrett "Sush". But screaming it at him. A sign that I'm doing something not right or to be a bad influence!?

On top of all the disappointment I feel today I also have that stupid shin splint again. I did two days of working out and BAM! it's back. What a load of bologna. I plan on doing something less strenuious to get stronger and then knock it out with the Shred after I get that done. That just means an extended time of working out at a slower pace and slowly but surely taking that stupid belly off! *UPNOTE #1: I am keeping steady at 158 which is about 6 pounds less than I started at!* I made part of my grocery list last night using some recipes I found in my new Biggest Loser Family Cookbook and also some from the new Feb. edition of Better Homes and Gardens! They all look super tasty and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the new food on the family and see if they really are as tasty and filling as they are said to be.

*UPNOTE #2: We are looking at a severe winter advisory for our area that is calling for up to 8 inches of snow over 4 days! Here at the lake things stick a bunch on the road and stay for weeks after because not all the curves are sunned. I'm looking forward to having some time with my husband home where he isn't able to get out and make us do something or go out and practice his bow shooting.

Well enough for the day. I have some housework to do and some spending better time with my babies trying to have a happy day!
