yes, i realize it's only 2:30 here but i need a glass of wine.  my child is still crying because i took his pacifiers away and i really really don't want to cave.

and dh is going straight from work to the Giants game so i am on my own for bedtime as well.

who wants to come hang out?

    I would if I could!  I'd love a glass of wine.  DD only took a 20 minute nap today so I have a feeling it's going to be a long afternoon/evening!

    well, he started banging his head on his bed so i went in and cried with him.  then i bribed him (i'll give you pizza for dinner tonight if you lay down and go to sleep) and i rubbed his back until he fell asleep.

    i know i'm trading one bad habit for another - he picks up on being rocked and soothed to sleep so quickly.  it will take days for him to stop asking for me to rub his back.  but i just couldn't take it anymore.

    How about we leave the kids somewhere, run away, and go lay on a warm beach say in Miami.  I am so tired, so stressed, and so overworked (at school, at work, at home, and finishing up for March of Dimes) I broke down crying when my nanny was leaving.  

    Just know I'm there for you in spirit!

    Me! I could so use a glass of wine.  Plus I've never been to CA.

    I've had a horrible day as well, worst one in a long time. :(

    So I'm up for some wine (and even better, a vacation!).

    Hope Caleb forgets all about his pacifiers soon. Hopefully tonight goes better! I would have gone in too, I know it, so try not to feel bad.

    I don't blame you one bit.  We had a rough time removing the paci too.  I feel your pain.  We came so close to giving it back to him on the second night, but we stayed strong.  We didn't want to move backwards.  We sat on the floor next to his bed until he feel asleep to help him through it.  I would't worry about starting a new habit.  We figured it would be easier to break that later on, once he was okay without the paci.  Good luck tonight too!  I hope it gets easier.
