give thanks 9

1. I'm thankful that I was the recipient of a really nice note from an old childhood friend today. I haven't heard from her since high school and it totally made my day. Thanks, Sarah!

2. I'm thankful that I got to pick the activity for Family Home Evening tonight. We listened to a chapter of Harry Potter tonight with the lights low plus cookies to eat. I think it was the only time today that the kids were quiet, calm and not fighting. It was a blissful half hour.

3. We decided we had to do something about Anne's, and consequently, our lack of sleep. Last night we began the whole "cry it out" thing. I'm thankful that it wasn't as awful as it could have been. Tonight so far is even better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can get her on a better schedule.

We had to do the "cry it out" with each of our kids. It is horrible, but you have to look at it as "training" them and keep reminding yourself of the long term goal...sleep for everyone! Good luck!

I want to come to your FHE...especially if there's no fighting!

I hate the cry-it-out thing, but I hate the sleep deprivation even more. Hang in there! It will get better.

How can that cutie smile so much without sleep?
