You had me laughing out loud! That was funny. I can just see and hear that. I’d of laughed and got the camera anyway.

For my head, I have to use heat. I found out that if my head hurts, I put the heat to my neck (lay down on a pack or hot water bottle.) Retainers. I know about them. I hated them. And a headgear. ugh…………

I was literally almost rolling on the floor laughing!!!! I needed a good laugh today and this was fun! I too would have laughed at you and then swiftly run to get a camera . . . some things we just can’t let go!

I really think we must be distant relatives. I usually wear my ice pack on the back of my neck, though, but have been known to walk around the house with it on top of my head (I need a Velcro strap, too… my balance isn’t all that great before the first cup of coffee). My husband has gotten many a good chuckle at me.

I could relate to everything you said, from the baby bootcamp to the retainer. Your “retainer talk” made me laugh out loud! Glad junior is sleeping better. Hopefully you are too.

Laughed my head off. Been there, done that with my oldest. The lying awake doing everything in my head-thing is STILL the hardest thing for me to deal with–when I’m up, I’m up for the night.
I’m sure you do the “mole” walk when you get up to go to the bathroom–barely opening your eyes to a squint to keep from waking up any more than you have to to get the few steps to the bathroom–then hopefully back to sleep. The only thing I can offer is that “this too shall pass”-HA Miss you so much in MOPS. Love you and thanks so much for the good belly laugh. Always does my heart good!

So funny! I feel for you. My preschooler was waking up every night. She’s a little bigger, so she’d end up in bed with us every night. Our solution was to put a sleeping bag on the floor.

When I’m having trouble going to sleep, one thing that works really well for me is focusing on relaxing every muscle, starting with my feet and working up. I’m almost always asleep by the time I get to my shoulders or so. But it makes me feel a lot better. And avoids all that list-making!

We have to do “boot camp” around here every few weeks, too. Good luck!

I got a perfectly clear picture of you right after… “Fiddledaddy fashioned me a velcro strap that I can just wrap around the top of my head and secure under my chin.” I was already thinking of asking for a picture…

I used to have nights like that where my brain wouldn’t stop working long enough for me to fall asleep. It’s miserable! Try talking to God instesd of tending to tomorrow’s chores.

I can picture it all so clearly.

What if you didn’t get out of bed?

Hi Dee Dee,
A riend of mine has a son who would scream and fight every night at bedtime. One day, she heard the Lord say that he could see the ‘things’ outside the window and to cover them up.
She bought some blinds that night, and he hasn’t made a fuss since.
Are Jensens windows completely covered? Do you need to annoint his bedroom?
