I had hoped to have a new post up by now, but it has been an interesting week. Cayden bit someone at school on Tuesday, so we dealt with that (I think he did it because the neighbor kid bit him twice in two days prior to this incident.) We've also been attempting to get the boys to sleep in their own beds in their own room - which tonight it took about 3 hours to get Eli to go to sleep - which is my writing time. Basically it's a mess, and I'd like to promise a post up for tomorrow, buutttttttttttt Cayden hit someone at school today and I'm thinking I'll probably pull him out of school for tomorrow and keep him home (he went from being at home all day every day to going to school 4 days a week, and with how often he's acting out, I'm wondering if it's too much and he's just tired and needs a break.)
Jeremy is off Saturday so I'm hoping at the very least to stay up late and be able to bang out a post tomorrow night. Sorry guys!
Stick with putting the boys in their own beds. I know it's hard, but it is so important. I know people have differing opinions on the matter, but I never let my kids in bed with me. If one comes over in the middle of the night because a bad dream, I don't even realize it til morning, but that is a very rare occasion. Looking forward to the next post! mum
ReplyDeleteWe all know life happens, we will be here when your life gets back to normal!! Thanks for keeping us posted and a huge thanks for taking time out of your life to keep us entertained.
ReplyDeleteOur kids slept in bed with us when they were little. The easiest way to transition them to sleeping on their "own," was to put them in the same bed in one of their rooms. They slept in the same room for a year or two, but at least they were out of our bed.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well!! Can't wait for the next post (because I love the story and your writing so much). Please post an update for us...just want to make sure that you are okay! I'm sure most of us feel as though we actually know you & we worry about and for you!
ReplyDeletePlease please please don't take this the wrong way! Where are you?, are you okay? It's not like you to post to say that you will try to have something up on the weekend and then not hear from you over a week later. I think we all understand that life happens, but I know I (and I'm thinking several of your other readers) are starting to really worry about you. Sending prayers your way that everything is fine and that you have just been super busy. If you get a moment, maybe you can just let us know if you are okay?!?
ReplyDeleteat least a note would be appreciative. you are a SAHM. how hard is it to post a note saying you'll be late? consideration for your readers would be appreciated.
ReplyDelete@Laura - she's been super great at keeping people updated if she's going to be late. I'm actually starting to get worried too that somethings wrong because otherwise she'd let us know. Hope you're ok.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLaura, you are incredibly rude. Life happens. Her internet could be down or she could have a family emergency. What does being a stay at home mom have to do with anything? Her priority is where it should be....with the people actually IN her life.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S what a "SAHM" means?! ("Stay-at-home-mom"). WHAT does being a stay-at-home-mom have to do with anything? Until you've done it (and, by that I mean, done it WELL), you have no idea how incredibly busy and jam-packed a mom's schedule is who stays at home with her children. First, you're usually out running the kids around to all their various activities, volunteering at their schools, grocery shopping, etc; then, when you ARE home, it's cooking/meal preparation for the family, household chores, bill-paying and financial management...and that doesn't even begin to touch on all the various needs and demands that your children have which take up untold hours throughout the day & night. I want to laugh when I hear or read anything similar to that kind of statement. Way to sound totally ignorant. Also, the author is normally very good about explaining delays; this isn't her usual MO. Finally, do you actually think posting negative, pissy comments is going to accomplish anything? Totally unproductive. Quit checking for a while if it's such an outrage.
ReplyDelete@Laura She is writing this blog for no pay, just the enjoyment of doing it. She has been really faithful for the years she has doen this with keeping us updated. I am sure she had a emergency or something else come up. Don't be such a troll. Jeez.

ReplyDeleteTo commenter Laura--you are owed no explanation. This blog belongs to our Laura, and is for and at her pleasure. And if you think SAHM's have nothing but time on their hands, you need a good dose of reality. Please don't bring any negativity to these comments--we don't need or want that.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about this blog for a long while laura but glad to see you got the followers to work so now i won't miss anymore posts. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteHas anybody heard from or is in touch with Laura (the author)?? It has been four weeks since her last post and almost three weeks since her update. This is very out of character for her. I am very worried that something has happened. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers because if something has happened she will need our support to get her through!
ReplyDeleteShe had an email address for the last blog, nothingmorethanlaura@gmail.com. Since it's related to the previous blog, she may not check it often, but worth a try.
ReplyDeleteLaura (the author), I am hoping and praying that you and your family are okay. It's been 3 weeks since your update and we haven't heard from you which is not your style. I am assuming that something has happened or perhaps you are just busy with life (but usually you tell us when it's that). I am not criticizing you for not updating -- I'm (and I'm sure many other readers) are very concerned.
ReplyDeleteIm just assuming that her internet and computer crapped out.. Keep thinking like that so i dont worry about whats happening..
