Hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I have to say that this is one of the worst Christmas' that I've had.  I'll explain more in the blog...

Well, this is my first attempt at a blog.  I'm not sure exactly how to do it but I'm sure I'll learn as I keep blogging.  It's 8:18pm and both kiddies are in bed.  It's been a long 5 1/2 years of being a SAHM.  Let me introduce myself.  My name is C and I have 2 kiddies (M & S).  M is 5 1/2 years old and a very active and alert boy.  S is almost 3 years old.  She is so sweet and loves her Mommy.  I am hoping that this will help me deal with some of my frustration.  It'll be a sort of a therapy.  

I have family nearby but ones that can't really help me.  So mostly it's up to me.  I have 3 sisters.  They all work outside of the home and seems to think that I am very lucky to be a SAHM so I shouldn't have anything to complain about.  As you can see, we aren't that close.  

I guess what I've been struggling with is with M.  He was diagnosed with some sensory processing disorder.  He has a lot of anxieties and tries to avoid anything that scares him.  He is really smart and observant.  Which is good and bad.  He is much more aware than other children his age.  So as a result, he ends up knowing things that he shouldn't know.  Sleep has been a major issue with us.  He usually wakes us up at least once a night. We are lucky if he sleeps through the night without waking me up.
