I’ve had a lot going on this week! Really need some serious catch-up time on housework, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen for another few days yet.

Sunday night I went out with two of my sisters-in-law, my new one and Steve’s sister that’s getting married next month and moving several states away. We just did dinner and a movie again, but it’s great fun. Just last month we did this and saw Grown Ups (which we all three absolutely loved) but we figured we’d better have some time together while we can. This time we saw Dinner for Schmucks which was amusing. Heh, this is a lot of movie time for me, 3 this year, rofl! Usually I’m there once a year or less! For dinner, we went to a Cajun place that Steve is always saying we need to go to, it was pretty good! Was really nice before people started showing up, but then it got hot and stuffy in there pretty quickly. I wasn’t too happy with that since we’d already spent time in the heat timing the wedding processional at the outdoor venue, so I was very glad to move to the cool movie theater.

E has always been hard to get to bed, but I’m not sure he’s ever acted like K is acting now (at her age). She is just throwing an absolute FIT at bedtime. She goes initially just fine and then she’ll play a bit and then playing turns to grumping and that turns to yelling and crying. Attempts to get her to calm down are useless. Often she gets back up for a while and plays while being grumpy. Actually, she’s not grumpy if you let her get her way, but get between her and what she wants… you’re gonna pay for it. In fact, she’s up again now. Of course, her being up makes it harder to get E to bed, he thinks he gets to stay up if she does.

The last two nights, and now tonight, have been absolutely torture to get this child to sleep. I feel bad letting her cry at all, probably because it hasn’t really been an issue in the past, but I don’t know what to do with this kid! She’s really been throwing tantrums lately, too. She’s started throwing her arms straight up to try and get away from someone who’s holding her and a few minutes ago when I wouldn’t let her go, she turned around and clawed once at my face.

People would tell me that after having E and then everything I went through with K that I deserved a calm, quiet child… yeah, right! She’s just like E is, already! She’s 16 months (13 adjusted) and going on 30. :P
