Have you ever had one of those mind blowing weeks where you just don’t know how you made it.  Well this for me has been one of them.  I have been emotionally stretched trying to figure out how to handle and talk about some sensitive topics.  I have had a couple friends talk to me about hair issues.  How to handle their hair, product to use, how often to cut it, where to go, and everything. 

I have also talked to friends about their kids and sleep issues.  Of course their little ones are younger than mine but they know that I have had years of dealing with sleep issues with my little one.  I have shared with this the things I have tried, the techniques I have, the melatonin and other herbal things I have used, the sleep habits, etc. Also, about crib tents, transitioning, environment and everything.  Having a little one that isn’t good at sleeping is really hard.  People don’t realize it.  And for those that just miss a few hours of beauty sleep have nothing on a mom who has a kid who just can’t sleep.  My little one the whole first year would only sleep for 15-20 min at a time.  I thought I was going to loose my mind but I also knew I had to do what I could to survive.  I was a mom and I had a family to take care of.  So I needed to find a way to make it work.

I have spent my week talking to my friend about potty training.  That is one hard job.  I have been trying for a while but well I know my daughter will when she is ready.  Well I have decided that because my daughter has a LOVE of candy I will just fill a bowl of all sorts of candy and for every time she goes she get a piece of candy.  But if she does a #2 then I have a special bundle just for that occasion.  So I am prepared.  So I shared this new thing with my friend and told her that she needed to find some incentive for her kid.  Whether it is a toy, candy, hair goodies, but something she could see, touch, and was well aware of everyday and time it happened.  She thought that was a great idea.  So she was going to make a bowl and fill it with something too.

I have also had to talk to my single friend about dating.  And boy let me tell you that is just exhausting.  Momma Mia wow I need a vacation after dealing with this one.  One minute he is fine, then I am suppose to help find a place to eat at, then the places aren’t good enough, then he is nervous.  Oh my gosh I just can’t take it.  And then to top it off he gets a sty on his eye lid just the week before the date.  Oh my gosh this is just going to make him a nervous wreck.  I want to turn my phone off so I don’t have to keep having my eyes roll back in my head.  I haven’t dated in 20 years.  So what do I know lol.  Well obviously more than he does.  I know I am suppose to try and help him out.  He is like a brother to me so I should do something or he will be single forever.

Then I had to deal with just other emotional things.  People just not communicating right and I had to clear it up.  People having other emotional issues and trying to read to much into things and I had to try and re-focus them.  People that just think to much of themselves.  Oh my goodness it is just exhausting.  I just can’t take dealing with so much all in a week but the sad thing is this is a typical day or week for me.  No wonder I get migraines.
