Sleepless in Seattle
Wed May 01 2002

Well, Tacoma any way....

I don't know why, but since the move I have had the most difficult time getting to sleep. Once I am there I am good to go for the night, but getting there is getting to be a HUGE pain in the ass!

Hubby suggests more exercise, and I admit this wouldn't hurt. If I still had any wine in the house I would do some therapeutic drinking....maybe.

I have found the perfect way to get the kids to behave at school for at least this week. The Spiderman movie. If all boys have a good rest of the week, I have promised to take them all to see it Friday. Today all three were amazingly well behaved. We will see if it lasts!

    I hope the good behaviour streak lasts!

    If not I'll be happy to let them join my two, strung up by their toes. *L*

    I understand the sleeping situation, I just moved into a new house, and even though I love it, its hard for me to fall aslepp at night...unless I have a "therapudic" gin and tonic.

    And I cant wait to see spiderman, does that make me a kid? I hope I dont have to behave this week to see it...I hate behaving. ;)

    Maybe you are having trouble sleeping because you are worried about your son and your brain is trying to sort it all out at night?
    Hope you get a good sleep, as you know, I was having that problem too thanks to some 4-legged critters.
    I learned in my Health & Fitness for Life class that extercise does help you sleep, but darn if I can remember exactly why.

    Please do not feel guilty for working and blaming yourself for something that is out of your control. I think you are a wonderful Mother.

    You live in Tacoma? I was born there, and so was my dad. ;)

    In my book, any woman who raises three sons is a candidate for sainthood!

    Hi allimom,

    I'm so glad I came across your diary!
    Thanks for leaving your comment the other day because I wrote your name down so I could find you!

    I'm a Mom, with three kids, and hubby. I know some things that your going through, I'm there too. I'm also on antidepressants, they want to add more mood stabilizers in me but I'm stalling.

    Anyway, glad to see you here

    Annika
