Screamfest 2008 - Shockley House

You missed it. It was quite an event. It began at around 4 yesterday when Hannah (up at 6am and no nap) started acting out. She spent most of the evening in time out - screaming and trying to make herself throw up. When she was out she was hurting or taking toys from Layla so that led to Layla crying most of the evening also. No one ate their dinner. No one had fun.

Then around 6:15 Adam joined his sisters with his screaming that was not cured by changing, feeding or trying to rock/sway/bounce.

6:45 - Layla goes to bed - one less voice.........

6:55 - Hannah falls asleep on couch and is carried to bed.......

Adam carries on until 8:15 when he finally passes out.........

This evening required an extra glass of wine and 10 minutes in the driveway for mom. I just needed to be away from the crying and didn't at all mind the frigid temperatures. Matt indulged in some vodka and football to help him relax.

Thank God Adam slept until 1:30 am. At least I got 4.5 hours of sleep out of the deal.

Our morning hasn't been much better. We aren't sure why, but we hope it gets better soon.
