With my daughter, though, I knew she had the potential to be a wanderer.<BR/><BR/>So I had planned to get a baby gate for her doorway - but while house-hunting, we found one with a half-door, like you see at preschools! That door was a screaming message to me that that house was where we were meant to be - and we spent six happy years there!<BR/><BR/>I still miss that house - I was just thinking of it the other day - and missing it....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506778706839256847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138617.post-12265648085492271322007-10-01T15:44:00.000-05:002007-10-01T15:44:00.000-05:00I already have the sleepies, but I suspect mine ha...I already have the sleepies, but I suspect mine has to do more with the Toddler who feels the need to wake up before sunrise than my age. We're still slowly trying to get her to change her mind about the whole "wake up at 0400" thing, and have mostly succeeded. The Boy likes to be in bed by 8 because he wakes up at 3, I try to be in bed by 9 because I wake up at 5, and I'm stubbornly resisting the urge to quick get the Toddler out of her crib and into a toddler bed because I'm afraid of those middle of the night wakeups.Fireflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938316263334077879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138617.post-3367553559355710072007-09-30T18:14:00.000-05:002007-09-30T18:14:00.000-05:00@ cb - That's so funny that you say that, because,...@ cb - That's so funny that you say that, because, one year for Mother's Day, that is exactly what my mother gave me! It was hilarious - they were in the envelope with the card! I've still got them on my dresser...I should keep them handy, most especially after last night! Ha!<BR/><BR/>@ Momma - I love you, too! And yes, I'm pretty much wasted by 8pm, I can <I>sorta</I> push it till 9pm, and then that's it! I'm out!<BR/>Thanks for commenting - I love comments from family!! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506778706839256847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138617.post-31450450193913317902007-09-30T16:00:00.000-05:002007-09-30T16:00:00.000-05:00You're becoming your mother - the 9 o'clock sleepi...You're becoming your mother - the 9 o'clock sleepies - and your grandmother!

Everyone hung out there, but better there than somewhere else. I have just one piece of advice - invest in earplugs. Macks makes the best ones. Never be without them. My girls tell me now (they're 22 and 24) that they would wait 30 minutes after I told them to settle down, then they knew I was asleep and they could make all the noise they wanted. I get a lot more sleep now that they're out of the house, but I never mind being awakened by a phone call.<BR/><BR/>cbcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738146275280684974noreply@blogger.com
