Needs improvement

As a mother I have always taken my job very seriously. I believing in raising children to be responsible, kind, caring, and all around decent adults one day.
Their virtue and character is very important to me and I enjoy shaping and having a hand in creating these little people of mine!

I must admit though it isnt always simple or easy;
I lose my patience more then I would like too.
I worry far too much about things I can not control.
Sometimes I am too firm on the small issue and other times to lax on the b
My kids like treats and have them more often then I had ever imagined.
Motherhood is truly harder then I imagined...I thought a few sleepless nights was the extent of it! I WAS SADLY MISTAKEN

There you have it folks the cat is out of the bag!

The nitty gritty on our sleep

or lack of it! We are back to trying to establish a healthy sleep routine as Jeff on the couch and 2 kids in bed with me is becoming draining on all of us, including the kids as Brycen wakes up screaming about 3 times a night.

Needless to say it is a battle. Jeff has been trying the ferber method with him as I truly am too soft hearted to do it. I just cant bare it so daddy has left to play tough guy. It is getting better, Brycen is putting himself to sleep but he still wakes up a bunch of times and always ends up in my bed with Brooklyn and I.

Sometimes I beat myself up as I listen to the advice that what I am doing is no good for any of us. Sometimes I can justify it in my mind that I am doing what works so we get some sleep and other times I look into the future and think of what it will be like when they are 16 and 18 years old. They will be teenagers no longer in my bed and probably barely at home as friends are usually the priority. I stop to think of Jeff and I thinking back to these days thinking Remember when....
In the meantime I guess all we can do is keep trying and remembering that really in a few years this really wont matter anyways!
