That's the sign I feel I need to start wearing around, seriously. Don't aggravate me because I'm on edge. Alright, I'm not going to fly off the handle but I am NOT feeling my regular happy little self. It's been a not very good week so far and lack of sleep is making me insane.
Of course everyone knows that Kurt was gone deer hunting all weekend last week. That made me exhausted even though I had fun with my sisters and family. It just throws us for a loop and I didn't get hardly any sleep because it's really hard to get two little kids to sleep when they're cranky alone. One cries and the other wakes up. I'm very thankful Kurt helps with getting them to bed.
Monday I took Landen to the Doctor to find out that he was probably "playing" the pee game. I wasn't very happy that I paid for someone to tell me stupid stuff I already knew and that nothing was wrong. Well it's not getting better but worse if anything. The poor little guy knows it's not working right, can't sleep and actually peed his pants last night that he hasn't done in months and months. By the way, he's been potty trained for nearly a year so that's not part of the problem. I'm waiting for eight o'clock now to try to get in for another UA test. I can't go much longer with this and neither can he.
I wrote one of the sponsors for my Review blog to send a winner their prize when I actually had it. I felt so embarrassed and bad for the irresponsibility. He was very understanding, but I hate doing things like that.
The Mary Doll I really, really wanted to get Amelia for Christmas they no longer make. That makes me sad because I wanted to get it last year and didn't because she was only a few months old. Now she'll never get one. =(
For some reason the last month or so I've been getting acne. I used to get it on my back years ago and it's back along with on my face. I can't stand it.. I'm thinking of trying that proactive stuff? I feel like a pimple face.
So, as you can see I'm crabby, irritable and in serious need of a really long nap. I must take care of my babies though and I have to say - my resolution for FAMILIA was to be more Christ like to my children and despite being a total crab apple I've been doing great.
It's now breakfast time. A few prayers for the Dr. visit would be nice. I hope he does have a UTI so we can get on an antibiotic and be done with this because he's not playing.

Proactiv is awesome. I use it everyday and have for years. I swear by it.
Try Ebay or Craigs List for the Mary doll. You may be surprised at what you find.
So sorry you are having a rough time! I hope things get better soon!
Hang in there, we will say some prayers for your little boy and you. I have been a crab lately too. Why do kids not like to sleep? It makes no sense!
Andrea ~
Prayers for Landen and for his Momma! (Paul had a similar problem years ago & we found that his urethra was the culprit, so he had to have surgery. He was eight @ the time, tho'...but still sometimes wetting. Poor kid was so grateful to be all better!)
The eBay suggestion is a wonderful idea... :)
I hope you get some sleep soon ~ I know so-o well how that feels!
God bless...
Andrea... you are positively the most awesome and wonderful mom and wife a family could ever have. This too will pass... the acne, the issue Landen is having, etc, etc... Just want to encourage you. I have loved following your blog. You are amazing, and I am so proud of you!!
Love, Aunt J.
Hang in there, Andrea. Praying for you and yours...
Sounds like no fun in the "flip-flop" house. I hope Landen works his stuff out soon. As for Proactive - that stuff is AMAZING!@!!! I used to have really bad acne and used it as a last resort and I'm sure that within a week my face was sporting the results. Now I'm using Cetaphil and it's pretty good too.
Ugh I HATE back acne. I used to have it really bad. I'd stay away from the harsh soaps that can make it worse. Proactive made mine worse.
I hope they figure out what is wrong with Landen. UTIs are NOOOOO fun!!!
You know I do bedtime with the 2 girls by myself all the time. What works for us is me sitting in the chair next to Liesie's bed nursing Libbie. I suppose it might seem hard when you aren't used to it but you will find a way that works for you!!
Awe, poor guy. I hear you on the crabby mommy part! I've had little sleep here too, and spent 2 hours in the ER last night with Rowan. Double ear infection :(
I try to remember the good times...
Try those AZO UTI test strips--you can get them OTC and they work great! If it comes up positive, then you can tell the doctor. I've had to do this for reoccurring UTIs.
I am so sorry you're having such a hard time--when it rains it pours, right? :o( I will definitely be praying!!!!
I know this doesn't help much, but I actually have urethra problems that sound a lot like what he's going through. Have you tried letting him sit on the potty when he's having trouble? It might be easier if he doesn't have to stand.
Keep us posted, okay? *HUGS*
Yeah...I feel ya! Days like this are just no fun. (and weeks like this are even worse!!) I hope the Dr. appointment went ok this morning though and that you found something out for Landen.
...I'll be praying for you!
