I'm definitely not one of those people who wish for Christmas to hurry up and get over with because I'm so stressed. I enjoy the shopping, the wrapping, the music, the gifting, the food and the get togethers. Since I was young, getting gifts has been unimportant to me. Ask any of my family lol I've never really been one to care much for material things. Trying to instill that into Em, but she's a bit young yet to care one way or another anyway. She just likes ripping paper then playing with bags, or the dogs haha. That's fine with me, I just hope we can keep her like that and no one has influences on her otherwise. The only thing I've been stressed about this year is lack of sleep! I've been up late every night this week because of being out late shopping or doing other things and going to work for 7am every day. It's been tough. Pair that with the fact that for some reason Em won't go to bed before 9pm now when 730pm was normal for her - and we're tired! And perplexed, no idea why she would start doing that.
Those with kids that are/were this age - did this happen to you guys?
We're just so sick of fighting with her to go to bed, and its hard on all three of us! Of course she went to bed fine for Grandma yesterday at 8pm and slept til 8am, but not us! She just went to bed at 9pm. We're speculating maybe we just don't spend enough time at home with her with working so much. That would make sense but makes me feel like crap!
Anyway, we're celebrating Chris' birthday today. Went out for lunch with his mom and then got take out dinner, and I made a cake :). Still have to ice it but I made it! Oh goddamn it Em just got up again...ARG!
Okay back. I have to still wrap a bunch of presents, its hard to do when you can't even start til 10pm. Annoying. Oh well.
Anyway I will go here. Em's freaking out.
