iObsessed

I mean I am obsessed with my iPhone. I dont know why I didn't get this nifty iPhone many many years ago and just splurge a bit more then. God was that a stupid move. I am glad that we now have splurged and got the iPhone or should I say iPhone's since Hubby got one as well. All because of that darn Santa bringing Big Girl and iTouch now you can see this whole family sitting with iElectronic's playing games, loading apps and just bein completely iObsessed.

So with my obsession comes apps and I love me some apps it is better than anything I am obsessed, oh yeah I mentioned that. Well tonight my newest app is iLaugh and I just had to share the way's to annoy peopel one since I just loved it. The only thing better is Gilmore Girls (which is on in the background) and Sex and the City. But here it goes.

Ways to annoy people

1.Leave the copy machine set to 99 copies, reduce 200%, extra dark, 17-inch paper.
2. In the memo field of all your checks write "for sensual massage". (LOL I am sure this could embarass some and piss off others).
3. Specify that your drive-through order is "to-go" (you may even confuse one of the workers)
4. Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up" (ummm that's a bit wasteful and may be noisy since they may squeak from the lack of water)
5. Reply to everything someone says with "that's what YOU think"
6. Finish all your sentences with the words 'in accordance with prophecy."
7. Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears. (oh I can't wait to do this to the kids.)
8.Staple papers in the middle of the page.
9. Ask people what gender they are. (umm this may make people think you are stupid I know I would give a strange look)
10. While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.


OK now that I typed it out iLaugh did not me meLaugh. Oh well I tried, now back to my apps.

Being Stubborn Holding Strong Ugh Whatever

So since my Mom went out and eloped I have no spoken to her. Call me stubborn, call me childish whatever I am pissed I was lied to. I dont care she got married seriously although I hate him whatever not a big deal. I am pissed she lied  with the whole he surprised me and did everything I just said I do BS. So I have held srong and not spoken to her but I have made her Grandchildren call her daily for one thing or another just to let her know they still love her despite of her.

I have been loving the children being off of school almost as much as I love my horrible housing not giving us any heat since for some strange reason they get to control that. Ugh have I mentioned I cant wait to move... Just another reason why. But anyway my kids have slowly driven me insane. Not even Big Girl, her med's have kicked in and even the bad days seem like simple days because the meds are working, it took a week and a lot of her fighting but it seems to be keeping her calm and focused and less ditzy so to speak. She is now at her second sleep over this week. I cant even tell you the last time she had a sleepover it may have been when she was 7 or just turned 8 (she is 9 now), she is with friends and she is having fun. She brought her cell phone because all of them got new cell phone's for Christmas. Ugh what is a 9 and one 11 year old to do without the newest coolest cell phone of their own. Ugh kid's kill me. But she has her cell phone and she is being responsible and actually answered it when I texted her and then had her call me. I am so proud. Also another huge milestone the passed couple of days despite being Sassy she has been able to do things she normally would not be able to do. Like she got an app. on her Itouch called unblock me. It is a game where you have to get the red block out by moving around the brown boxes which only go left to right OR up and down. Needless to say she has played and played and even not been able to pass some boards and guess what she just kept playing she didn't get frustrated she did flip out she just kept on going. OMG it is amazing, a week ago she would have flipped out crying screaming possibly throwing the iTouch and definitely going postal on everyone and anyone around her. But she did not she just moves on if she cant pass it, asks for help and then waits for the person to help or keeps on working on it. OMG such a proud Mommy moment. Now off to finish laundry because I refuse to start the New year with a full laundry hamper.

Not Me Monday

Head on over to MckMama to see more Not Me Mondays.

This week is kind of a non-traditional Not Me Monday.

I will just share with a Not My Mom Monday!

My Mom did not go out and get married this morning and not tell anyone. She was not (seriously she wasn't dont get confused) engaged before this just went and and did not get married. OK on to my own Not Me Monday.

I did not go out and get my daughter Ed Hardy boots, another American Girl Doll, some American Girl doll accessories and a doggie from American Girl with a few other little things for Christmas.I mean seriously who does that NOT me.

Santa did not get her an IPod touch after I got her all those other things I mean she is 9 come on people and IPod touch for a 9 year old nope not Santa.

I did not proceed to get jealous of said 9 year old and go out and get a IPhone and I definitely did not put the thought into hubbie's brain who then got one with me. I mean come on now people why would we do that. Besides even if we did we would not now be app. obsessed. OMG come on now people just how bad do you think we are allowing electronics to rule our lives.

We did not then look at Big Boy's pile and feel bad because he got such inexpensive gifts. I mean it is the thought not the monetary value of things. Besides he was thrilled with everything he got.

So that is my not me, not my mother and definitely not my hubby or kids Monday!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve was an emtoional night. It was not the normal Christmas with all the presents that are normally thrown around and you know what.... It truly was an amazing Christmas Eve. I really had so much fun and it really made the kids appreciate what they got (thank goodness because Grandma sure knows how to spoil them) and they got to enjoy their family and not worry about presents all night. It was a rough day as Big Girl is still adjusting to her meds but all in all it was anabsolutely amazing night. Sadly I was seeing red for most of the day as AF came for a visit. Merry Christmas and Bah Humbug to you AF. Oh well pats of life right. Despite my pain I had an amazing night. The kids got their DSI's as did their cousin's and they all got to open their gifts of DSI's together and they all loved it. I really loved it as well, it made it so special. Right now DH just went out to get last minute stocking stuffers and I wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you are having as great of a holiday as we are. Remember it truly isn't about the gifts but the season and the meaning behind it for me (other than the religious mumbo jumbo) is family and I love having the family I have. Even the in-laws but shhhhh dont tell Hubby I dont want to get him to excited.

Christmas Eve's Eve

OMGoodness can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I know I can't! The year has flown by and the Christmas season will soon be over. Hopefully the mess in the stores will be over as well. I dont do well with crowds. But seriously Christmas already where has this year gone. I cant wait for tomorrow night when we will go to my in-laws and celebrate and then Christmas day. The morning Oh the wonderful morning that I can not wait for. We will spend it at home my Mom and her boyfriend will come over and we will cook and open gifts and be merry and the kids will have a last with their new toys. Especially Big Girl who I can;t wait to see open her Santa gift. Ugh that still get's to me, the big fat man get's the credit for the best gift ever. The IPod Touch! Ugh I am envious of my 9 year old. I asked for one and she got it. Can I at least get an IPhone people something?!? Throw a Mom a bone. Ugh but back to the post I can not wait to see my children's eyes as they open their presents. We must get the camera's ready and be prepared because I love seeing the joy on their faces and I can't wait to see there faces thi syear because they have the best gifts ever. OK OK they have the best gifts ever every year but whatever I am thrilled again and I am more impatient then they are. So any gifts you can't wait to see your kids open? Are you excited about the holidays? Do you open gifts on Christm Day or Christmas Eve? We open Christmas Eve with the in-laws Christmas Day at home and with my Mom and Christmas Eve the kids get new pj's because they have to be snazzy for morning pictures. I can't wait for Christmas and I hope you can;t wait as well because it is just an amazing thing especially watching it through the eye's of my children. BTW if their are any Jewish readers please feels free to tell me about Hannukah, my kids had Hannukah gifts as well as my Mom's side is Jewish which means I am Jewish which should mean my kids are Jewish but do we really truly want to get into all that, especially as my kids are *gasp* Baptised *gasp* and go to Catholic School but whatever I amstrange always have been. So anyway please share you holiday celebrations if any!

Whirlwind Day

Within the past 36 hours I have found out that I am not the parent of a bi-polar child but in fact and ADHD, ODD child. I have also put her on medicine for it. It all happened so quickly and no I did not just medicate my child. I have been looking up ADHD since Big Girl is about 4 maybe 5 since I personally self diagnosed her then. But now it has been confirmed that Mama does in fact know best. Today has been one of those days though. We had a lash out, then a perfect child, then a couple of time outs and melt downs. Then we went to a friends for her husbands birthday. Wowwee was that fun. The kids were great till it was time to go. We come home and try to get them to bed at a decent hour assuming that it is them being tired and that is why the major meltdowns but no, Big Girl is wired till 10:30 tonight when she finally crasked AGHHHHH!!! Pretty soon I am crashing I just wanted to inform you all or maybe even just remind myself that days like today go away and get better.

Not Me Monday

Head on over to MckMama to see more not me Monday's.

So let's see what I totally did not do this week.

First I did not get out of bed all week because I was sick. That is ompletely true which now leads me to my real not me Monday's which kind of include not my husband and not my children's in it but we will lump it all in one.

So since I was sick my husband did not bribe my children with money to load and unload the dishwasher, cook dinner, take care of me and stay quiet so I can rest. Nope not my husband he just asked my children politely and being the wonderful well raised children they are they just oblidged because they love me.

My children then did not proceed to barter for more and more money because hello they are insanely awesomely wonderful children who would never do something only to receive something in return.

I did not finally go to the doctor Friday to be told I have bronchitis again like every year. I then was not told to stay in for 3 days and not go out. Which means I definitely did not go out today and play in the foot of snow that we got dumped on us by mother nature. I mean come on how juvenile when you are told to stay indoors because you are sick you just do.

I did not smoke cigarette's while outside because I have absolutely no will power and can not quit to save the life of me because I completely suck!

I definitely did not stay outside 4 hours after not even being allowed outside to begin with. I even went in and got our dog so he could have some fun in the snow.

I also definitely did not act like a total child and beg my husband and children to do anything and everything in their power to get me the book the Elf on the Shelf so I could read it and start another wonderful Christmas tradition with my children. I mean come on now, it is Christmas we still need to buy for a few more people and there was a foot of snow. Who in their right mind would be so childish as to beg and plead for their husband to go get them a book.

So that is what I am willing to share I think I have embarassed myself enough with these. Head on over to MckMama's to see more wonderful Not Me Monday's.

Sick

Again and going to the doctor tomorrow to figure out what is wrong. Also need to bring Big Boy to the doctor as he has a rash. Big girl had a singing concert today that I missed (first time ever missing a performance) and tomorrow has another that I will be missing. I think she is disappointed in me but she is taking it like a trooper and helped so much while I have been sick. It makes me so proud to know she can pick up so much of the slack when I am sick. I guess despite eveything I am doing something right.

Works for me Wednesday!

Head on over to We Are THAT Family for more works for me Wednesday's!

Cooking dinner is what works for me. I know it seems so simple but for a long time when I had someplace to be I just "grabbed something small" while we were out. I costs money and a lot of times it wastes money. Besids the fact that it is usually some unhealthy disgustingly fat laden food. So what is my solution. My crockpot. It gives me fresh meals when I need to be out and I need dinner made at a specific time. It doesnt take much time other than prep and when I get home I can usually throw together a couple of sides (which I also tend to make ahead and just reheat). Voila an instant meal right when we need it. The other good thing is with the crockpot there are almost always leftovers. Yummy! If I dont use my crockpot I still use the same principal and make a meal I can cook ahead. On days when we have dance for dinner... I feed the kids at 4 or 5 and then again when we get home so they dont get filled with junk food or complain f hunger while we are out. It is so simple and has saved us so much money. Now we only spend money on eating out when we want to and it is a treat which makes it that much better.

Trying to stay positive

Trying to stay positive in a negative situation. Have you ever gotten yourself  in so deep you din't know how to fix the problem. Well I am in one of those situations now. Damned if I do, damned if I dont. Either way it is a loss but now I have no choice but to go through with it. I am upset beaue I brought this upon myself and now at a time when we are trying to make some major changes in our lives it is coming to bite me in the arse. Ugh I just need to remember it could be worse and what is meant to be will be. Life will go on, this too shall pass and whatever other positive affirmations I can think of. Did you ever just want to cry because you are so upset you know you brought all this paon upon yourself and you know you can't blame anyone but yourself? I am in one of those situations and it stinks. Now I must figure out how to fix the issue. I must saddle up with my big girl panties and move on somehow. Even if it means not being able to move riht now and waiting it out.

Not Me Monday

For more not me Monday's head on over to MckMama.

I did not procrastinate even though I got my Christmas cards two weeks ago and just now sending out the last of my christmas cards. I mean with Christmas 10 days away why would I do that.

I definitely did not go over budget for my kids yet again another year after swearing I would not.

I did not turn into scrooge and hate buying for others.

I do not want to stay home Christmas Eve hen we would normally go to my in-laws and yet this year I have no desire to go.

I do not feel bad as my Mother in Law also has no want or need to host Christmas Eve so I know it is not going to be the wonderful Christmas Eve it normally is.

Thirteen Thursday

So here it is my 13 for this week.

1. I am trying a new thing. Being positive at all costs and I think it is working. I got better from being sick in three days and I was able to go to the Christmas Tree Lighting and enjoy it, and life is just wonderful.
2. My husband is awesome. Monday he woke up brought the kids to school, went to the post office, then went to the housing office to pay our spot fee which we never got the envelope for. he then surprised me when i got home from BJ's with our bedroom completely re-arranged like I had asked him to do. Tuesday he came home from work early since I was sick and Big Girl had sliced her toe and he picked up the kids from my Mom (she gave me a break first), then brought them home had Big Girl do her homework cooked dinner, brought Big Boy to dance, whiel he was at dance he brought Big Girl to Barnes and Nobles for a new book for her book report and to get Starbucks (he deserved it after all). Came home gave Big Boy a bath Big Girl is on strike till her toe heals great smelly tween nothing better. The put both kids to bed, he then fed me, took a shower and then baked cookies, addressed some Christmas cards, folded and put away the laundry. He rocks man completely rocks. Wednesday he got the kids from the bus and got homework done before he went to work and I just sat around trying to recover and it worked.
3. Did I mention my husband rocks had to share I am such a lucky woman.
4. I am procrastinating watching Glee because it is not coming back for a long time and I figure if I procrastinate I have it that much longer.
5. I am very upset so many of my shows are gone for at leasta  month but I know the month will fly right by.
6. 15 more days till Christmas OMG 15 days.
7. Santa rocks and sucks all at the same time. Why does he get my glory and get to give Big Girl the iPod Touch. I want the credit oh well Santa you can get it eventually one day she will know I am you and Saint Nick truly is dead.
8. Big Girl and Big Boy both completely know Santa is real, he was Saint Nick and Saint Nick is dead, but somehow a dead man brings them gifts. How and why is he still getting credit.
9. Our kids believing in Santa is very expensive at least in this house.
10. I have considered changing Big Girls name to Sassy Girl but everyone name's their daughter Sassy Girl, but seriously my Big Girls Nickname is Sassy Cassy. No lie we call it constantly, she may become sassy Cas on here but then I would be using part of her name again and I think that goes against blog land order or something.
11. I LOVE Gilmore Girls the show you know. I watch it constantly have the whole Series on DVD and have seen every episode numerous times. Other than Sex and the City I have never LOVED a series so much and I have been trying hard to find soemthing that can slightly replace my two most favoritist (no it AINT a word) shows in the world.
12. I miss my best friend. I miss having him to talk to and he sicks for moving away. My best friend is not only a guy but he is also 21 years older than me. He is the complete opposite of me and exactly like me all in the same.
13. I have so much more in my mind I can't go to sleep. I figured this Thirteen would help but nope no justice oh well until tomorrow or later or at some other point than now I will type to you than.

Works for Me Wednesday

For more works for me Wednesday head on over to We Are THAT Family.

This week my works for me Wednesday is simple.  As stated before I love my schedule that is what makes life work for me. So when I can't keep with my schedule (usually during the holiday season) I make my schedule work for me. Tonight we had our neighborhood tree lighting party and it was a blast. But it ended at 9 and my kids should be sleeping by 8 so 9 is a bit late. It is a fun night and I want to party hard like the next person so tonight I say screw it and we party hard. So before we left I layed out the kids sleep clothes and the vitamins and the toothbrushes with toothpaste (next to it not on it) and washclothes and towels. Guess what?!? We got home and within 15 minutes my kids had taken their vitamins, changed into sleep clothes, washed their faces and hands and were sleeping. Yes you got that right 15 minutes and sleeping. I dont know why having everything laid out is not the normal schedule but this works for me when we are thrown off schedule. Now I just hope this hectic week doesn' kill the kids by the end of the week because it is a super long week between the tree lighting a day off from school, dance and report cards on Friday.

Sick

Yes you read that right I am sick so I missed my Not Me Monday post. I guess I will just catch up next Monday or maybe do it late, but not today because I am sick and light headed and blah. Sorry but I am in no blogging condition. I am lucky because Mom is back and she took the kids since they had off from school and they had driven me insane and since I am sick my loving Mom swept in and saved the day. WooHoo thank goodness she had time to miss the kids.

I just have to let you know though. Santa does not get sick. Santa still works to get gifts and that is what Santa did. Santa worked and worked hard and from what I hear the Big Fat Man in the Big Red suit got something my Big Girl is going to love. Oh how thrilled am I that Santa made this possible. Thanks Santa!

Hope to see you all tomorrow when I am better because only 1 sick day will do when you are a Mother. As for Santa no sick days for you.

What Do You Think

I got this in an e-mail and had to laugh. Do you girls think this is true as well?

Love is holding hands in the street

Marriage is holding arguments in the street

Love is dinner for 2 in your favorite restaurant

Marriage is Chinese take-out

Love is cuddling on a sofa

Marriage is deciding on a sofa

Love is talking about having children

Marriage is talking about getting away from children

Love is going to bed early

Marriage is going to sleep early

Love is a romantic drive

Marriage is a long, hot ride

Love is losing your appetite

Marriage is losing your figure

Love is sweet nothings in the ear

Marriage is sweet nothings in the bank

Love is a flickering flame

Marriage is a flickering television

Love is 1 drink and 2 straws

Marriage is "Don't you think you've had enough?!"

So what do you girls think. To me this makes marriage sound somewha bad and better to just be in love. I mean I am in love married so does that mean I have the best of both worlds. Is this something that makes single people feel better or people who dont honor marriage or maybe even people who have been divorced. So what do you all think seriously I am curious.

Things A Burglar Won't Tell You

Things A Burglar Won't Tell You!


I saw this on MassHoleMommy's page and decided to share.


THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:

1. Of course, I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.
2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste ... and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
5. If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink-----and the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom......and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
8. It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-------understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather.
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on it.)
10. Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.
11. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.
12. You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com.)
14. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.
15. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.
16. I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.
17. I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
18. I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.
19. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address.
20. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it's an invitation.
21. If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

My Husband Rocks Friday

For more My Husband Rocks Friday head on over to Katy-Lin

Simple my husband rocks because he can bake and he does it amazingly well and he doesn't mind and he usually even let's the kiids help. Sunday they made candy apples and Tuesday my belly was craving some cupcakes. So my darling sweet husband made them.Due to posting this on facebook, since we must let the world know all the wonderful things we do all day, he is also now making cupcakes for Christmas Eve at his family's celebration and he is even making them to order. Oh man can't wait they are so yummy.  It is the little things and I love my husband for all of them. Another reason why my husband rocks.

25 THINGS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

Thanks to Semi-Slacker Mom for this wonderful post. I am borrowing it to share with my readers as well.

25 THINGS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN or your husband, whoever.




1. Teach your children TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning." (And so you don't bother me.)



2. Teach your children RELIGION. "You better pray that will come out of the carpet." (We must not go to church enough because it never comes out.)



3. Teach your children about TIME TRAVEL. "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" (I wish.)



4. Teach your children LOGIC. "Because I said so, that's why." (Can I get an Amen?)

6. Teach your children FORESIGHT. "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident." (Oldie, but goodie)



7. Teach your children IRONY "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about." (I thought that was the stupidest thing ever when I was a child, now I understand.)



8. Teach your children about the science of OSMOSIS. "Shut your mouth and eat your supper."

(It can be done.)



9. Teach your children about CONTORTIONISM. "Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!" (Do it!)



10. Teach your children about STAMINA.. "You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone." (We skip that one.)



11. Teach your children about WEATHER. "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it." (I feel like I work at the Weather Channel.)



12. Teach your children about HYPOCRISY. "If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!" (Do as I say, not as I do.)



13. Teach your children the CIRCLE OF LIFE. "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." (Can I?)



14. Teach your children about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. "Stop acting like your father!"

19. Teach your children ESP. "Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?"

20. Teach your children HUMOR. "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me." (Don't even try.)



21. Teach your children HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT . "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up." (EVER.)



22. Teach your children GENETICS. "You're just like your father." (Only his faults, of course.)



23. Teach your children about my ROOTS. "Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?" (Bo tells people he was, ALL THE TIME!)



24. Teach your children WISDOM. "When you get to be my age, you'll understand." (If you make that long, see #13.)



25. And my favorite: Teach your children about JUSTICE "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you". (My Momma taught me that!)

Thursday Thirteen

Here it is my 13 for Thursday

1. I love reality TV.
2. I also love Glee.
3. I didn't undertsand Glee at first but I love it.
4. Why do good guys turn bad and bad guys turn good. I think woman are screwed either way.
5. Speaking of which men are screwed as well, especially my husband.

13. The dogs did damage to the tree as well, they ate part of my Christmas village (well a girl that had broken off they tried chewing off the glue. Ugh dumb stinky dogs.

WFMW

Head on over to WEARETHATFAMILY for more works for me Wednesday's.

So what works for me, something simple. Routine's!

OK so I know most people have routines but mine is the kids bedtime routine. Take their vitamin's (yes at night it is our routine), have snack, brush their teeth, wash their face and hands and go to bed. Call Dad to say goodnight and go to sleep. Mind you this is what I love about it (it is all before 7:30) except Tuesday and Thursday because we have dance till 7:30 on Tuesday and Thursday till 6:30. But we try to stay on routine. Sunday through Thursday and Friday they can go to bed at 8 maybe 9. I like my routine and I tend to see my kids need their routine. So starting tomorrow I am jumping back on my routine. Of course it is Thursday so it will be a few minutes later than 7:30 possibly but it will be our same routine. I love it and want to keep a routine forever if at all possible. So that work's for me what works for you?
