I couldn't sleep from like 4-5am then the kids were up early. Kate woke up on the WRONG side of the bed, and I think she's helping everyone over to her side. Everytime Kate screams (not like a cry scream, but an "i don't want anyone to touch me" scream) I am ready to lose it. Her scream is my "crazy" button today. This is going to be an interesting day...
I think she averages one GOOD scream every 5 minutes, with the lame ones in between.
So basically, every five minutes I find myself crawling back from the edge of crazy.
To cope...right now, they are in their room and i have music so I can't hear the screams. I think we are gonna have to start consequences for this screaming...it is totally out of control. But I think we'll wait til tomorrow...when I'm a little less edgy about it (I hope.)
Thankfully (I think) I have a lot going on today... that should help.
Emma is a good screamer. Every time she starts to whine, throw a fit or scream we send her to her room to cry it out. It's taken some practice but she is spending less and less time crying it out in there. I think she is realizing that she just isn't going to be out with us throwing a fit.
