Tis after 1 am and I’m up because bubba has decided he’d rather scream the night away than sleep. 
It’s not fun for any of us. His dad is working with him right now, but he doesn’t seem to like that either. *sigh* Sometimes I just wish he could talk so he could at least tell us why he is upset. I gave him some orajel and ibuprofen for his teeth, in case that’s what’s been triggering all of this, but it hasn’t seemed to help him calm down at all. I know we can’t drag him into bed with us every time he decides to have a screaming jag, but it does really wear on me to listen to him scream. That’s why I’m out here. I can still hear him, but it’s not as bad as sitting right in there with him. Poor Stuart has to fly out tomorrow for a camp conference thing, and he’s going to be beat as he is certainly not getting any sleep right now. I’m going on night number 3 for lousy sleep. Oh well, I guess it just goes that way when you have kids.

Well, that’s no fun. Sleep needs to visit your house soon!! Hope you and Qade get to crash today. Poor Stuart. We’ll pray that he’ll have strength for his conference and come home soon!
Hey Rach! Try some warm peppermint tea with a tiny bit of sugar. It has to be peppermint tea though. Put just enough sugar to cover the bottom of the bottle, then fill it all the way up with the tea. After he drinks this, try rubbing his tummy. I don’t know if it’s his teeth or not, but since the orajel didn’t work….try this! It actually can work wonders!
Love you!
