Sick Boy

So our poor little guy is still sick. He now has a cough that keeps him up most of the night. Sunday night I spent most of the night sleeping in Rex's twin size bed with him. But since Miah was gone last night I decided that I would just move Rex to our bed. I put him in his bed and he kept waking up coughing and crying and he would calm down but only while I was in there. Once I left he would start crying again which would lead to coughing. I figured we would both get better sleep if we were together but I wasn't spending another night on a twin size bed when we have a California King size bed that would be empty all night. So we cuddled up and I slept really good. Rex woke up twice and coughed but I just helped him sit up and get it out and then he would drink some water and go back to sleep. Because the bed was so much bigger than his I didn't spend the night getting kicked!

Miah and I had an agreement from the beginning that we would never allow our children to be in bed with us. We didn't want to have a 4, 5, 6 year old that wouldn't sleep in their own bed. I knew when we made this agreement that there would be times like last night that would happen but Miah doesn't think they are really necessary. With him working out of state right now it isn't much of a deal but I do have a nervous feeling that allowing Rex to do this will some how backfire and that I will get good sleep now but not later. I'm afraid that he will want to sleep in my bed every night and that I will have a really hard time getting him back to his bed. I really think that he will be in my bed again tonight because his cough is still pretty bad. I guess I just have to decide what works best for me and Rex while Miah is gone and deal with the consequences later. I know that I'm no fun when I don't get sleep and I know Rex isn't a happy camper when he doesn't sleep and if we are both cranky that is just not a good story.

I do have to say that he's quite adorable all cuddled up in his blanket with his monkey pillow pet. Maybe it won't be hard for Rex to adjust back to his bed maybe it will just be hard on Mommy not having him there?!?!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house?

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
