Well hello everyone what a day I have had, I didn’t have the
best night’s sleep why well Little Leo was being difficult he didn’t want to go
to bed last night and papa had to carry him into the bedroom and he had a
tantrum and was fighting us because we said it was bedtime. This is because he
has found a new love, computer games on the Cartoon Network website. He also kept saying he wanted to stay up till
his mum got back here but she wasn’t coming back here for the night and he was
just difficult and this meant that I didn’t sleep well as I was listening for
him I was worried he would decide to go outside and look for her but he didn’t
he just didn’t settle till around 3am yes 3am……..
So I was awake at around 8ish this morning and got up and
used the computer for a bit before he woke up and wanted to get onto the
Cartoon Network site.
Jessica arrived around 9.45am to go and pick up her car from
the mechanic she had the motor replaced along with the radiator cost was $1,715
it took all the money she had but it had to be done.
So after they did that Jes and I went to Charlie (Charlestown
Square) which is the shopping centre we
go to most of them time to look at the Christmas toy sales, Jes showed me a few
things I could get for Leo she wants me to make a layby for her. She left
before me and came and got Leo and went home to her place. When I left the
centre it took me 35 minutes to drive from level 3 in the carpark where I was
parked to level 2 it should take like 2 minutes but no 35 minutes it took me
due to the crowd and then it took me only 2 minutes to get out of the carpark
once I got onto the right level to exit.
When I got home the first thing I did was iron Tim’s work
shirt so he could head off to work he will not be home till around 10pm I think
if not later doesn’t really matter as I will be in bed by the time he gets
home.
It is also cold and wet again today so I will be going into
have a nice hot bath when I post this as it is now like 4.45pm and if feels
later maybe that is because I had such a bad night last night.
He was anxious indeed to get back to the Games.
ReplyDeleteI used to iron my husbands & sons shirts at midnight or 1am once...
Yes he was, and I can remember when I would iron Tim's shirts late at night before I went to bed
DeleteMy former next door neighbor did not trust her child to stay put in his room. Their pediatrician told them to put a lock on the outside of his door, and she did.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Kathy was a little girl I wanted a lock on the outside of her door because when she was naughty and sent to her room I would have to stand there and hold the door shut or she would just run out of the room and then out of the house.
Deleteif he was bad and wouldn't cooperate about bedtime i'd make him stay off the games for the day that will shape em up quicker than anything!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like his mother................yes I got into trouble off her for letting him play the game as long as I did and in the morning too........
DeleteOh, sorry! It's so hard when a child is having a difficult time. I had one like Leo! It's rainy here, stormy in fact!
ReplyDeleteIt was a difficult night I just couldn't go to bed knowing he was awake I always have to know my little ones are in bed asleep before I can sleep or at least that someone is awake to keep and eye on them
DeleteI hope things are better soon!
ReplyDeleteThey will
DeleteI feel for Jessica, it never rains but it pours. We are in similar boats, and I pray nothing else happens before she can build a little back up.
ReplyDeleteTrue she doesn't know what she will do if anything else goes wrong
DeleteHaving a bad night of not sleeping makes everything so much harder the next day. That's a shame about Leo fighting bedtime. Our 5 year old grandson also likes computer games.
ReplyDeleteIt did keep him happy and the games are the type that help him learn but I am going to have to be stronger and demand that he goes to bed when I say so
DeleteOh, my. A stressful few days for all of you right there. Hope things return more to normal for you soon.
ReplyDeleteYeah today I have nothing on well I hope there is nothing I have to do this afternoon.
DeleteI hope you get some sleep. When our kids were young we had inexpensive alarms on the doors that would sound very loudly if the door was opened.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That alarm idea sounds like a good one I will talk to hubby about getting something like that for the door.
DeleteI'm so sorry you had such a difficult night. It's tough when children refuse to settle down.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice warm bath and an early bedtime!
(((hugs))),

Yes it is and I am not like hubby who just goes to sleep and doesn't notice
DeleteI hate when unexpected car problems come up and costs so much. You are such a wonderful grandma to be so wonderful to Leo. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes it seems never ending for Jess
DeleteI'm sorry he couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep last night. I maybe got 4 hours.
