Re: Millie hasn't been to sleep all day!/Thanks all...

[Guest guest]

Carol,

It will forever amaze me how our LOs can change day for night! Grandma slept

ALL day

yesterday (and THANK GOD since I was having my freak out moment!) but was up at

4am

wanting Bob to fix her breakfast today. Which of course she ate about 3 bites

of. I felt

bad for not doing more to keep her up yesterday since I knew it would probably

mean

she'd be bugging Bob all night but she was totally zonked and beyond yelling

loudly and

smackin her face every few minutes I'd have had no luck. I just wasn't up to

that.

I'm sorry Millie is keeping you up all night! Thats funny that the dog wouldn't

sleep with

her because she was snoring so loudly! My dog when I was a teenager would ONLY

sleep

with me and I've been told I snore terribly. ;-)

I feel slightly better this morning. I still feel exactly the same way about

things that I did

yesterday but with a less desperate tinge to the whole thing. I've discovered

that I can

only sustain that level of panic for a certain amount of time and if I can wait

it out than

usually within 24-36 hours I at least won't feel like breaking dishes and

hitting people

anymore. So a big THANK YOU to all of you who helped me through the panic

moment.

I'm still not happy and I still need to gather the gumption to do something

about it but at

least its not giving me a migraine so far today. ;-)

I have a feeling I will be an early to bed person tonight for the first New

Years that I can

remember since I was a kid. I just don't feel like I have it in me to celebrate

anything.
